Naakaii náásééł
Navajo
Etymology
From naakaii (“Mexicans”) + náásééł (“are coming as a mob”). They say that if you ask a mantis, "háádę́ę́ʼ Naakaii náásééł?" (which direction are the Mexicans coming from?), the mantis will point in the correct direction. It will not move if asked any other question.
