Navajo
The origin of the word Navajo comes from the Spanish conquistadors who, in their travels into the North American continent, used this as a curse word because the Indigenous people would steal their horses under the cover of darkness. The slang word is loosely translated as 'underminers' or 'those who cut from under'. To the strict, true-blooded Dine' the word is akin to using the 'N-word' to defame Black Americans.
