纳瓦霍人
纳瓦霍（Navajo、Diné）是美国西南部的一支原住民族，为北美洲地区现存最大的美洲原住民族群，人口估计约有30万人。“纳瓦霍”族名由西班牙人所起，族人则自称为“Diné'”，即纳瓦霍语“人”之意。

纳瓦霍族也拥有现今美国面积最大的印第安保留地，部族政府称为纳瓦霍国，横跨亚利桑那，新墨西哥和犹他三州，面积7万平方公里。部族政府拥有地方自治权，首府设在亚利桑那州温多罗克（Window Rock）镇。
语言
纳瓦霍族群有自己的语言纳瓦霍语，没有文字，只能口口相传，其构成相当复杂，外族人几乎无人能了解。因此，在太平洋战争中曾用于作为密码进行明码呼叫用，以让日本军无法破解美方密码，至二战结束时也没有被破解。
