Miss Navajo

This article talks about Miss Navajo documents (nevermind that they quote Michael Moore, this is probably actually a real documentary and not an article of political propaganda) a very unique "beauty" pageant "where tradition reigns, contestants are required to speak their native language, make fry bread and butcher a sheep."

Now, I don't know why PBS (who aired it recently) is loving this...well...I do...but what traditional culture would not LOVE such a thing? C'mon...who could not envision a Slav beauty pageant in which the contestants must be able to say an Akathist or two in Slavonic, bake Prosphora, and slaughter a lamb?

Butcher a sheep! Now THAT'S a quality to be appreciated in a woman! Tradition reigns....LOVE IT.
