'''Navajo''' (sometimes spelled ''Navaho''), or '''Diné''', (means ''The People'' in [[Navajo language|Navajo]]) refers or relates to the '''[[Navajo people]]''', currently the second largest Federally recognized [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] tribe in the United States, with 298,197 people claiming to be full or partial Navajo, according to the 2000 [[United States Census|U.S. census]].<ref name=Census_2002>{{cite web | title = The American Indian and Alaska Native Population: 2000 | work = Census 2000 Brief| url = http://www.census.gov/prod/2002pubs/c2kbr01-15.pdf | date = 2002-02-01 |accessdate = 2007-03-10}}</ref>
The name Navajo may have originated from the English, <ref>Hoezee, S. and C. Meehan: , page 5. Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1996</ref> who possibly took the name from the Tewa language's original word, "navahu" meaning ‘fields adjoining an arroyo.’<ref>"Navajo" ''New Oxford American Dicionary'' Apple Computer, 2005.</ref> The '''[[Navajo Nation|Navajo Nation's]]''' reservation encompasses the [[Four Corners (United States)|Four Corners region]] of northern Arizona, southern Utah, and northern New Mexico, over 16 million acres (65,000 km²). The word ''Navajo'' also refers to the '''[[Navajo language]]'''.
