The Four Corners is a region of the United States consisting of the southwestern corner of Colorado, southeastern corner of Utah, northeastern corner of Arizona, and northwestern corner of New Mexico. The Four Corners area is named after the quadripoint at the intersection of approximately 37° north latitude with 109° 03' west longitude, where the boundaries of the four states meet, and are marked by the Four Corners Monument. It is the only location in the United States where four states meet. Most of the Four Corners region belongs to semi-autonomous Native American nations, the largest of which is the Navajo Nation, followed by Hopi, Ute, and Zuni tribal reserves and nations. <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Corners Four Corners]</ref> | |||

The Navajo and the Apache are closely related tribes, descended from a single group that scholars believe migrated from Canada. However, the Navajo grew crops and raised livestock, a peaceful tribe. Some of the Apache, as well as Sioux Lakota's were more aggressive and were fierce hunters, gatherers, and raiders; a warlike tribe. Both Navajo and Apache languages belong to a language family called "Athabaskan," which is also spoken by native peoples in Alaska and west-central Canada | The Navajo and the Apache are closely related tribes, descended from a single group that scholars believe migrated from Canada.
