Navajo term for "anthropologist"?

There's a standard joke that a Navajo nuclear family consists of a
mother, father, children, and an anthropologist. I don't know when
this started but it probably comes from around Clyde Kluckhohn's era.
Related to this, rumor has it that Navajo has a kinship term for
anthropologists, because they're exposed to so many. Can anyone
confirm or refute this? If true, what's the term?
Thanks,
James
