I’m a Navajo weaver who herds sheep.
Woolboy Weekend
We’re off to a new winter season of lambs and baby goats being born! I honestly prefer having them being born during the winter time, we all have our own preferences but that’s just me.
I told myself that I was going to try and record as much as I can this year for new updated contents when it comes to the animals, weaving or planting.
Winters have not been the same from what I remember growing up but that’s just part of life, we adapt to our surroundings and animals know it best. I’m excited to see what personality they will all grow into. More importantly, I’m looking forward to weaving with the sheep wool!
This video is mostly a combination of different activities that mostly consists of what goes on for my week. Sit back and enjoy the video, but please let me know what you think! Thanks in advance 😊

Pinion Picking
Переглядів 679Рік тому
Few weeks ago we heard about people pinion picking over in Utah. So we made the decision to go asap before word got out! It’s been a long time since any of us had gone pinion picking so we didn’t want to miss our chance. The morning we decided to leave, we ended up falling a little behind schedule but we went with the flow and eventually found the location and pinions.. after getting lost! Haha...
Weekend at Grandma’s
Переглядів 8 тис.Рік тому
Awhile back, I started working on a rug that I wanted to make entirely out of hand processed yarn. I wanted to challenge myself by not only shearing our sheep, but to actually use the wool to make a Navajo rug by using traditional methods. I took on the challenge but soon realized that it would be done faster with some help and advice from one of my great grandmas. So one evening I drove over a...
Navajo Cake with Grandma
Переглядів 50 тис.2 роки тому
Over the summer my great grandma kept mentioning how she wanted to make some áłkaad, which is Navajo Cake. My mother and I finally decided to make it possible for her by agreeing to do so. With the help of family & friends, we got the ingredients and brought over the necessary stuff needed to make Navajo cake. It just so happened that the day we decided to make the Navajo cake, it was a hot sum...
Northern Navajo Fair 2022
Переглядів 11 тис.2 роки тому
This year I skipped out on Navajo Nation (Window Rock) Fair but decided to attend Northern Navajo (Shiprock) Fair 👏🏼 I only went for two reasons: 1) My main reason was to watch the Ye’ii Bicheii. Due to traditional beliefs, I did not film any of it at the time. However, I was able to finally attend one after two years of not having nay. 2) My second reason of going was the Song & Dance. It’s be...
Navajo Tea Dye
Переглядів 2,7 тис.3 роки тому
Before I could completely run out, I had to dye some wool using Navajo tea, greenthread (Thelesperma). The wool is all hand sheared, hand carded, spun and washed. The red yarn I used store bought dye. The gray yarn is all natural from the sheep wool. I used a single burner to help with boiling the water. I am satisfied with the outcome! 🙌🏼 This is my first time weaving this style. It’s a diamon...
Cleaning the Wool
Переглядів 3,4 тис.4 роки тому
Understanding through trial and error with traditional approaches of the weaving process to a Navajo rug. One of the earliest steps of weaving is before actually warping the loom, but rather preparing the wool. Cleaning the wool, carding the wool, spinning and washing the wool after it’s been sheared, collected, and sorted. Here I demonstrate how I’ve removed it from the ground in order to obta...
You're grandmother is still strong! I miss my masanna ❤
I wish I could understand what she is saying…I love older people and their wisdom is so essential for all of us!
❤❤❤❤
You are very blessed to have been able to spend time with your wonderful grandparents.
I’m so thankful that I found your grandma through your channel! She makes me smile. Her voice is so sweet! Chei is sweet too.
Seems to be universal, the complaints of aches and pains 😂 and the hardships of owning livestock.
I miss my grandma... I wish she was still here. Thank you for this video
There is nothing more beautiful than cooking with the ancestors..

😮Watching your videos makes me miss home. Im currently living in UK and your videos make me miss being home back on the reservation. Your masani reminds me so much of mine. Thank you for sharing ypur videos with those who may need to see and hear our traditions. AHEHEE…
Thank you for sharing. How many big buckets did you use to pour in the ground.
Shi Masani is so cute.
Greatly miss my mom😢 everything she says is true.! Glad my kids are carrying on her teachings! I will forever be thankful! Stand strong for your kids Grandma!
Aww that’s good to hear about your kids carrying it on, that’s the only way
It was an honor to share this time with your family. Thank you. I am grateful for your generosity
I greatly appreciated this, I love you guys.
Haven't had that in decades, live in Wyoming.
This is super interesting! The ignorance we have of the way folks lived, worked, and kept stuff clean before modern plumbing and soap is so detrimental to figuring out the best way to do things sometimes, especially in an environment where maybe we should keep the water around for more important things. I got a free, unprocessed fleece from someone with Navajo Churros, so seeing the specific process that would historically be used is so awesome. It really makes me feel connected to the people who have spun before me.
I love grandmas.
You are blessed u were able to record her. You can see n hear her voice n laughter when u miss her ❤
Wow!!! I recently heard about this process, so nice to learn about it from your vlog!! Thank you for sharing!

Words are hard to find. Listening to her voice, Seeing her face I have a deep understanding Of the love That I was given a chance to see. Not to take away from this love in your life Was blessed to know the love shown by my own great-grandmother was 2 years old when history came for Wounded Knee Massacr 1890 Two of my great grand parents 1886, she was 1888, Creedy and Seminole Her cooking only one has cook that cook two of my Brother drove 100 miles 3 of us put her to the tset my thoughts sure all three can't be wrong to be honest, I hunt and I been given wild game My wife cooks as its a blessing from our creator with a loving heart, so please find kindness in my words the one you call grandmother, was a gift from Our creator, her life, is a true blessing , Once in a lifetime Pray you remember her wisdom .
❤😢
Given a change , its once in a life time. I dont know this woman as her loved ones do. can find understanding .and grateful, unsure the generation She saw in her walk on the earth. seeing she was their chance of life. For those who called her mother ,was pleassing from our creator Blessing, to so many Her spirit true gift Story of Earth Spirit Water Blood is the same as my own great grandmother, her birth 1888, her body of Mother Earth , that holds the spirit Given from on high one day return knowing she got to see her own children grow and much more Her body formed in to flesh in the water of her mothers, Blood there far more knowledge. For now Blood of ancestors still lives known as DNA to others. From the video she loved Looking around her she grateful th e way shle cares for what she Given and work hard for. If I may say with kindness May not understand as others She in once in a life time touching others lives who may see the love also.

Moved away from home … time to learn to make it myself 🥲
🙏🙏🙏🙏🖤💙💛🤍🙏🙏🙏🙏👍
110 degrees hot and have not had water running forever dang lost cattle to toxins in water from oil spillage in all Navajo land gosh
Keep coming back to this. Grandma was careful about adding ingredients, the timing & amount was important. It's the 4th of July & I'm watching my favorite vids, yours being among them. This year feels different & I needed good memories. 2023 hasn't been great & your vids remind me of better times. And you should post more!🥰
That early morning sunrise view is worth getting up for.
Always love stern teachings of shima sani and shi chei and any dine elders, love alkaad wth lotsa raisins, nizhoni ye nanitin
