The Navaho people (or Diné), like the Apaches, are of Athapaskan descent and probably migrated south to the American Southwest about 1300, although archaeological evidence suggests that some Athapaskan-speaking tribes arrived in the Four Corners region of Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Utah as early as the 8th century. Oral tradition holds that the ancestors of the Navahos were already in Dinétah (the traditional Navaho homeland) when the Anasazi were building in Chaco Canyon between the years 900 and 1130.
The Navaho conflicts that led up to the Long Walk began with the Spanish conquest of the Southwest in the 16th century. Before the Conquistadors arrived, the early Navahos apparently coexisted with their Pueblo Indian neighbors fairly well, though raids were sometimes carried out. The Navahos, seminomadic hunters, adopted some Pueblo culture and learned farming from the Pueblo tribes. Spanish missionaries had almost no success with the Navahos, but the Navahos did take an interest in Spanish horses and guns and, as a result, their interest in raiding grew. Sometimes the Navahos raided the Spanish colonists, and sometimes they traded with them. But they were far enough away not to feel too threatened by the Spaniards.
The Pueblo Indians had it worse. Spanish soldiers and priests were living among them, forcing the Indians to forego their traditions and to worship the Spanish God. To seek refuge from their heavy-handed masters, some Pueblos ran off to join the
Navahos.
In 1680, the Pueblo people revolted against their Spanish masters and drove them away from New Mexico, but all their problems did not disappear with the Spaniards. The Navahos, mounted on horses, increasingly raided Pueblo villages. In some cases, Spanish soldiers had been providing protection from these raids. Not that the Pueblo Indians wanted the white men to return, but return they did in 1692. When the Spanish reconquered New Mexico, many Pueblos again fled to live with friendly Navaho bands. This cultural mix led to the Navahos’ learning many new things, including how to raise sheep and goats. In time, as the Spaniards took a kinder approach to the Pueblo Indians, many of the Pueblo families that had taken up residence in Dinétah returned to their pueblo homes. By the early 1700s, most Pueblos were siding with the Spaniards, who could help fight off Navaho, Apache and Ute raiders. At the same time, the Spanish, sometimes with Pueblo assistance, were busy capturing Navaho women, children and livestock. By the end of the 18th century, the Navahos were also dealing with equally troubling raids by Utes, Comanches, Jicarilla Apaches and Mescalero Apaches. Many Navahos packed up and drove their flocks to more peaceful grazing grounds to the west.

Desert Wind, the UU:
This unit replaces Horse, has one extra movement per turn, one extra offensive point and cost 10 shields more.
Desert Wind is the fantasy name of the most important military unit of the Navaho civilization. The first contact with horses happened in XVII century, when Spanish has brought horses to the American continent. Horses brought a revolution to the Navaho society, in its army and all other aspects of the civilization.

Looks good, but I do have one suggestion: Navajo is spelled with a 'j,' not an 'h.' :thumbsup:
 
There are two spellings. There is Navaho and Navajo. Half the Navaho's prefer the 'h' version, the others the 'j'. It is also what clan, what tribe, and where they live to. Navaho is better because it excludes the Spanish letter pronounciation.
 
I'll bet the "misguided" half of the Navajo tribe who have preferred the "j" spelling for the last three/four hundred years will be dismayed to find out that they have had it wrong all this time.

It is not hard change the "h" for "j", just start the Civilization 3 editor and there you can change the words ;) and the characteristics that u want.
Nobody did the mistake (if it is really a mistake) for pleasure, mistakes happens, as many Americans think Buenos Aires is the Brazilian capital.
 
I was not referring to your spelling Navajo/Navaho with an "h", CivArmy. To my understanding, both the "h" and "j" spellings are equally acceptable. I was alluding to Mobilize's assertion that spelling Navajo with an "h" is "better" because it excludes the Spanish letter. As Mobilize notes, some members of the tribe prefer using "j" while others prefer "h". If the tribal members are comfortable with the alternative spellings, then it is not the place of non-tribal members to make value judgments about which spelling is "better". And I'm sure that Mobilize was not doing so. I'm sure all he was intending to do was to state that he personally preferred the "h" spelling, and why.

I have been monitoring Civfanatics for a couple of years, and I certainly did not mean to insult either you or Mobilize (or anyone else, for that matter) on my very first post! It was just that after I read Mobilize's entry, I could just picture an embarrassed Navajo elder somewhere going, "Holy Cow, how did we miss THIS for all of these years!" (Yes, I know, my sense of humor is a little twisted.)

Anyway, I ramble. BTW, I have enjoyed your various civilization mods. I especially am interested in your Tupi units, including the dugout canoe (piroga?). Are you planning on completing the graphics for the Tupi units anytime soon? The canoe, warrior, and horseman all are greatly needed units. Again, I meant no offense to anyone!

Thanks for enjoyng and playing my extra creations!!! If u have suggestions or request, do not forget to post or send me an e-mails.
I must complete these Tupi units, but I have few spare time theses days, all the free time is used to new civis, as Mexico and Sioux, but these units will be in the American Continent Mod (use the link of my siganture to check its treat), so, it has to be done one day. They are not hard to be completed, just need some work mine.
U started post some days ago, I hope u post more times ;)

I PMed you regarding your ACM thread.

I guess it should be neither "h" nor "j", but "x" because in kyrillic there is no "h" ^^
I guess навахо looks appropriate.
 
Spell it however you like - thanks for making the leaderhead!
 
Jepp. That's aproximately what I wanted to say...
But somehow I still miss Winnetou the leader of the Mesqualero Apache :D Scientific Leader Old Shatterhand and so on...
 
Im using this in the scenario im making, could use some help with locations of a few settlements, can anyone tell me where 3 or 4 settlements of this civilization were located? Proximity to present day cities will do, if i can find them on the atlas. Thanks!
 
cool head civarmy,i've just saw your profile and we're born on the same day! :p
