    I agree that cancer was correlated to increased animal protein intake. I agree grass is very high in cancer fighting nitrilosides. The Hopi Indians have had cancer rates of 1 in 1000 as opposed to 1 in 4 for the typical American. Many cultures and tribes around the world are "rumored" to be cancer free. The modern way of raising livestock and poultry might cause high cancer rate. They eat plants high in nitrilosides. If they eat plants they are more health than we are.

Up until they had contacts with Pueblo and the Spanish they were hunters and gatherers, today the United States Of America has granted the land also known as A Reservation. Navajos lived in what was usually a Hogan, A Hogan is a square or conical with a distinct rectangular entrance made of wood or covered in mud, the Navajos usually had the door pointing west to welcome the sun every morning. A Hogan was a sacred place to the Navajos they respected it.
