Apache
the answer is Apache
We don't know who their enemies were before the Spanish arrived in about 1540. The word in Navajo for corn means enemies food or strangers food. The word for non Navajos is the same so we don't know if the ancestral Pueblo people were enemies or not. The word Anasazi can mean enemy ancestors or strangers ancestors as well. We do know they gained many skills and cultural ideas from the Pueblo so not all could have been fighting. By the 1600s the Spanish were the largest enemy. They created a market for slaves and tried to control Navajo land. Because they wanted slaves and would pay well for them other tribes raided the Navajo for slaves. The Navajo also raided the Pueblo and Spanish colonies. But they also traded with and inter married with the Pueblo people and some Spanish. By the late 1700s there was constant raiding and slaving attacks. The Ute and Comanche allied with the Spanish. It is estimated that during the early 1800s more than 66 percent of all Navajo families had experienced the loss of members to slavery. When the area became part of Mexico they became an enemy as well. Lastly, the area came under US control and the US army was their enemy

It is 259 miles according to Google Maps.
No, the distance between their tribal locations was far too great.
Yes! Most people would say that Navajo (Dine') and the different Apache (Inde'- "inday") groups are all cousin languages and cultures of a sort. I would say they are about as far apart as perhaps Spanish and Italian. In other words, many basic words are the same or similar but others are not. Words like rock (tse), water (to'), I (shi) are very close. Depending on how you want to divide them up they are about seven language groups in the Southern Athabascan language family, Navajo and six Apache languages; Plains Apache, Western Apache, Mescalero, Chiricahua, Jicarilla and Lipan. They all have the same 33 consonants, 4 vowels, the vowels can be short or long (not how we mean in English but rather said for a longer/shorter time), can be nasalized or not, and are tonal with high, low , rising and falling. The grammar is similar too. Called :" fusional, polysynthetic, nominative-accusative head-marking languages". The word order is Subject Object Verb. Words are modified primarily by prefixes. Verbs are most important. The grammar is very complex compared to English. They are all related in language, but not really in culture, to the rest of the Athabascan languages which are in Canada and Alaska. For example the vowel in the word for "cloud" k(k'os) changes from "o" to "a" For traditional Navajo and Apache they have, of course, different creation stories. Culturally, the Navajo are perhaps the most different in historic times, They grew corn in bigger permanent fields and lived in Hogans. After they got sheep and horses, sheep and weaving became very important to them too. Most of the Apache groups lived in less permanent houses and depended on hunting more and corn growing less. But there were large differences in some groups for example the Plains Apache and the Lipan lived near and almost just like the Kiowa, a plains Indian culture, hunting buffalo. Others were mainly desert hunter gatherers.
I am one of many Navajo men, I work for my family, which involves my biological children. Regardless of the location of my children...far or near. Sometimes I give money to the mother of my son, who is not my wife.
