Navajos say that if you eat the bread ends, &#8220;Haa&#8217;didooly\u00e9\u00e9l,\u00a0your spouse will get stolen from you.&#8221; Essentially, the concept is:<\/p>\n<p>\u00c9\u00ed \u00ed\u00edn\u00edy\u00e1a&#8217;go naa&#8217;didooly\u00e9\u00e9l.<br \/>\n(If you eat it, your woman or man will get stolen)<\/p>\n<p>I also share the concept that you never get more than what you need. If a person has a piece of bread &amp; reaches for another, they say, &#8220;Dichin hwiilh\u00e9\u00e9h! Hunger will kill one!&#8221; It&#8217;s also the same concept if you get more than what you need of anything, or, &#8220;T\u00e9&#8217;\u00e9&#8217;\u00ed hwiilh\u00e9\u00e9h! Poverty will kill!&#8221; Essentially, the meaning is simple, overindulgence is not good.<\/p>\n<p>Where the concept of divorce bread comes from, I don&#8217;t know. I tried to ask several people but they don&#8217;t know. The purpose of this video is just to mention that &amp; share that little history of older Navajo belief. If you know why, post it! If you don&#8217;t want to, that&#8217;s fine too!
