The South American
people from Buenos Aires, Argentina believe in their own opinion the word 'Navajo' signifies what they already know about the Navajo
people & culture. On the other hand when it comes to its similarity in Spanish, how it'
s related to the word "Navajo" & Navaja (knife)."
The word "Navajo" makes them think of the
people as "First Nations" when again sounds like "navaja/cuchillo" which is knife but they don'
t think it comes from there because there are lots of
words that sound similar but aren'
t the same thing like station or stationary. So for them, (Navajo) really couldn'
t be the word (knife). They don'
t think there's a chance that Navajo Y Navaja aren'
t related. It sounds like an attempt to establish a connection or source.
