18 Summary of Remarks by Alan Downer, Rena Martin, Timothy Begay, and Richard Begay, "Navajo Cultural Concerns and NPS Management," in Report of the Navajo Nation/Navajo Lands Area Superintendents Summit Meeting, April 16-17, 1997, 6-10; manuscript copy obtained from Capitol Reef National Park, 6-10. The authors point out that the Navajo Nation contends that distinctive Navajo material culture patterns indicate no such migrational entrance into the region occurred. The Navajo Nation points to various archeological evidence in Navajo sites, supported by cumulative tree-ring dates, which suggests an occupation dating from the early 1300s. The more popular date of Navajo entrance, approximately 1500 A.D., fails to account for the idea that for any archeological pattern to emerge, at least 200 more years of activity would have to take place. This places the emergence of Navajo culture in the early 12th century, a date more consistent with occupation of the region by ancestral Puebloan peoples.
