"Navajo were called head crushers because of their habit of executing prisoners by dropping large rocks on their heads." No one in my family ever said anything about any of us dropping rocks on people's heads. =) I think the word navajo was adapted from a Tiwa word meaning navahu˙, arroyo with cultivated fields. I can't speak for the Apaches, so there you go.
