Southwest Native American Tribes

Southwest Native American tribes, primarily the Navajo, Hopi, and Zuni, historically inhabit the southwestern United States, including Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. These tribes have rich cultural traditions, languages, and histories rooted in their ancestral lands. They traditionally practiced farming, pottery, weaving, and ceremonies tied to nature and spiritual beliefs. The Navajo are known for their skilled weaving and silverwork, while the Hopi are recognized for their kivas and pueblo dwellings. These tribes have faced historical challenges but continue to maintain their cultural identities, sovereignty, and contributions to American heritage today.
