Traditional Navajo Recipes
Canyon De Chelle
The following recipes come from Elaya K Tsosie, a Native Navajo. She teaches Native American History at at two different New York State Colleges.

The modern Navajo eats about the same kind of thing the rest of the inhabitants of the United States eat. In times past, however, they grew just about everything they ate, except for wild game. Aside from the traditional wild fare such as deer and rabbit, they also ate bear, gophers and prairie dogs. They didn't eat snakes as this would give them bad dreams and require a medicine man for a cure.
