A focused population profile of Navajo, with modern genetic matches, ancestry modeling, and a World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Navajo is included in the World Genetics modern G25 database as a reference population. This page uses that reference average to compare Navajo with other modern populations in the database.
The label should be read as a population reference name rather than a complete description of every individual, family, language, region, or community history connected with Navajo.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, the closest non-self match for Navajo is Hopi. Other nearby references include Crow, Sioux Lakota, Oji-Cree, and Kiowa-Arapaho. This gives the Navajo profile its nearest modern genetic context inside the current reference database.

The ancestral breakdown below loads the best-fitting World Genetics calculator for the Navajo average. It should be read as a model of deep ancestry components, while the closest-match table is the better guide to which modern populations are most similar in G25 space.
The heatmap gives the Navajo profile a geographic shape. Warmer areas mark regions where available modern reference populations sit closer to the Navajo average, while cooler areas represent more distant matches.
The closest non-self match in this World Genetics comparison is Hopi. Other nearby references include Crow, Sioux Lakota, Oji-Cree, and Kiowa-Arapaho.
In the current modern G25 reference set, Hopi is the closest listed match to the Navajo average after removing Navajo itself from the table.
The heatmap shows where modern reference populations are closer or farther from the Navajo G25 average, giving the closest-match results a geographic view.
