Navajo Chiefs

Les Navajos (ou Navahos) constituent un peuple amérindien d'Amérique du Nord de la famille linguistique athapascane et de la zone culturelle du sud-ouest. Les Navajos vivent aux États-Unis, dans des réserves du nord-est de l'Arizona et des régions contiguës du Nouveau-Mexique et de l'Utah. Ils sont étroitement apparentés aux Apaches. http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navajos - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navajo_people
