Pour the water and broth into a slow cooker with a tsp of salt. Add the lamb shanks and cook on low for eight hours or overnight. Diné have an affinity for salt and use considerably more than a tsp.
In the morning, remove the meat from the bones, return the meat to the pot, and add all other ingredients to the cooker. Cook on low heat for 8-10 hours.
Remove the Juniper sprig during the last ½ hour of cooking.
