these people who lost their jobs at one thought they were so good for the other navajo. they used to show off with thier 4x4 custom trucks, with horse trailers, nice cloths, money. they did not care for anyone, only themselves. now they are crying and as the story goes the are now just like any poor navajo. what happen to to your pride, over self esteem, im too good to be a navajo mentality?
