The speaker’s office funded this year’s barbecue.
Fire Rock Navajo Casino prepared the meal: a bottle of water, pulled pork barbecue on a brioche bun, roasted corn, pinto beans, and a fruit cup for dessert.
The lines were long, but thousands of Navajos waited for the free barbecue meal that has become a tradition in Window Rock for the annual Navajo fair.
