What is the same about chippewa and Navajo?

The Navajo and the Chipppewa (Ojibwe or Anishinaabe) don't have much in common. But the similarly named Chipewyan people who live across northern Canada do have a lot in common. They speak very similar languages Sort of like cousins. Perhaps more distant than French and Italian. They are both the Athabascan language family. The Canadian people call themselves Denésoliné which means people of the barrens. the Navajo call themselves Dine' which means people. Some simple Words are understandable with vowel shifts from one language to the other. It is thought that the Navajo and other Apache groups left northern Canada about 2000 years ago and started into the American southwest about 900-1100 AD. All the Athabascan people have genetic differences from other Native Americans and probably moved to the Americas later than the early settling but before the Inuit peoples.
