US: Don’t vote for Navajo women — they can get cross!

smh.com.au.

LOS ANGELES: The Navajo nation, the largest Native American reservation in the US, is poised to elect its first woman president in an election tainted by allegations of dirty tricks…
Mrs Lovejoy, a 46-year-old mother of three,… has fought allegations that she had been seen drunk, an explosive topic in Navajo and a charge she called ”vicious”.
She also had to contend with an ancient Navajo story about a female figure given a position of leadership who abused it by becoming angry and controlling.

Ah, folklore! Is there anything it doesn’t know?
