Will Foster is not your typical Elvis Presley impersonator. The Tuba City, Arizona, resident, likes to sing in Navajo, loves frybread and his favorite canine is a sheep dog, not a hound dog.
"I like to imagine what it would be like if Elvis was Navajo," Foster tells The Gallup Independent.
Foster caught the Elvis bug after meeting the King at an antique store in 1974. He soon began performing in hopes of bringing some of the magic to the Navajo Nation.
Foster isn't the only Elvis impersonator on the reservation though. Rex Redhair is also known as the Navajo Elvis.
