∙ 10y agoThe problem with the question and the answer is it uses past tense verb.
Navajos still eat today and "their" meat diet on the reservation is by gringo standards still heavy in mutton and goat which they graze on the res-lands today. Thier not too distant ancestors did not like beef at all. When the Pueblo Indians first ate beef (approx 1600) they said they didnt like it and would "rather eat horse and mullet". I have to presume the Navajos felt the same way. Sheep and goat came along with the Spaniards just like the cattle did so they stole as much as the could of what they liked and fled north and then west and into Arizona. So it has evloved. Like all gastronomy does.
