Sheep shearing in Alamo, New Mexico
On today's adventure, we make our way down to one of the most remote and isolated Navajo Nation communities: Alamo, New Mexico. We were invited by the Alamo Chapter House President Virgil Sandoval to join them sheering sheep and enjoy their family's company. This is the first installment of our adventures in the Alamo community, so join us with some sheep sheering and experience the quiet life in the furtherest southeast corner of the Navajo Nation.

Awesome video.My family completed our sheering yesterday in Bodaway,AZ west of Tuba City.I serve as Bodaway Gap Chapter Vice-President.
Shi'Cheii, thank you for sharing. I'm from Tuba City, AZ.
Hmm 🤔 interesting where he talks about how the grandma told him how to dress the people when they past away; I assumed that's what he meant. So my question is, isn't that how the so call trickster works to benefit itself, meaning it wants you to do the opposite of what it should be?😱
Isn't that nashusha part or adopted clan with sleepingrock clan.
Nice to hear you out in that area , not THAT far from thier toward counselor bunch of nice places out thier
Farmington is well-known for being prejudice. It has always been like that. I remember back in the 70s when AIM protesed Farmington , to this day Farmington is still prejudice.
Thank you for sharing
Sheep are Stupid
So true that children are given over to the schools Glad that you had a chance and inspiration to turn that time into such a rich time of children learning the most important lessons!!
Sounds like you talking about your Navajo Nation government they are the tricksters to you all we us and you just said that we missing plants 🪴 and other important things are also missing and ancestors had way better living within our worlds 🌎 and I beginning not to believe in today's DINE VOICE and what they talk about isn't in line our relationship with great heart mother earth and I feel that today's DINE with respect ❤❤
I am so thankful that I get to watch your videos. Thank you for continuing to share with us, and thank you to Harlan for sharing his experience. Truth to ourselves, and to others. Our actions are our only possessions.
My Dad is a Retired fire cheif..Suburbs of Detroit back in the 50s,60s70,80s no technology back then. E had hard time hearing. Yearsof siren air horn
Beautiful country, brings a lot of memories, sheep work,
Flagstaff here. Would love to talk with any native about spiritual things and how I can prove the natives here are one of the 12 tribes of Yisrael. I also understand skinwalkers and other spiritual things and how to help the Navajo.
The Indigenous Tribes People have been here thousands of years before the Great Flood/Deluge. Christianity and Mainstream Academia don't teach the truth and the real history. They only teach you what they want you to know and think. We know the real history here.
You could have used the grant the chapter got. But the chapter helped themself to the money and it was taken back.😮

Wah I thought you were going sheer a whole sheep to yourself lol hahaha jkn but yeah I heard after you sheering sheep's you start smelling like sheep's too lol
For real, I did shear most of the sheep but my impromptu cameraman said my GoPro was glitching. So I stopped to trouble shoot and that night when I went to pick up my wife from the airport, the vehicle still smelled like sheep, haha. #RezLife 🤙🏾
That's what the Navajo Nation government Contractors for forty years and we didn't see anything out there know revenue that didn't show that help DINE and keep the Navajo Nation government out there it just to there own pockets not for the people DINE.
Agreed, do you have any insight on the NN government side of work? I saw some aspect of that when subcontractors would bid on NN projects, their bids were very high due to location and resources but I've never been apart of any energy related projects.
Awesome, brings back a lot of memories. Thanks for shearing....I mean sharing
Shear, anytime! I mean sure 😉 ahe' hee
Your a natural >barber and classic roper...👍😮
🙌🏾🤙🏾
Fascinating on a dozen levels. Great videography, but the impromptu captures of family dynamics, culture, and work are most compelling. Once again, great job. Ty for sharing this.
Ahe' hee we appreciate your support and checking out the video. This was our first experiment of doing a video for the viewers to watching as a fly on the wall. Heavily inspired by the long shots from Blade Runner. 🤙🏾
Dine' not Navajo

Good girls 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Sheeps 🐑 are probably relived from all that wool on their backs…. 😂 … They are ready for the Summer Heat… Watch out for them ticks…. Great 👍🏽 Video ❤ Thanks! 🙏🏽 For Sharing!
Very good like watching your video..thanks so much..
Agreed, Mr Sandoval washed away the ticks with apple cider vinegar and the sheep were all checking each other out after the wools was sheared off, ha
@@Spagoshi 😆 🐑 🐑 🤙🏽
💈 Those electric sheep shears are a whole lot faster than the old fashioned hand shears. Just like in us humans, a sheep's skin has pores that produce oils to hydrate the surface of the body. These oils, called lanolin, have a deep moisturizing effect on human skin and hair. It locks existing moisture into the skin and absorbs additional moisture from the air around it. Lanolin, also called wool fat, wool yolk, wool wax, sheep grease, or wool grease, is a wax secreted by the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals. Lanolin used by humans comes from domestic sheep breeds that are raised specifically for their wool.
Great and interesting fact Chuck! Ahe' hee for sharing and much appreciate your on-going support 🤙🏾 have a great day sir
@@Spagoshi 🥰
I am a subscriber and love your videos, I learn a lot about Navajo culture and traditions.
Much appreciated 🙏🏾 glad you enjoy our videos and the stories our relatives share 🤙🏾
Yaaeetah oh shi heart lol so I guess we're aren't related then lol hahaha 😂🤣 jkn but yeah it's nice to see a beautiful lady like her do whatever makes her feel happier
You only live once, you gotta do what is your drive and passion. Ahe' hee for watching Raeanna's series 🤙🏾
I want to thank you, Rose for your service to our country , saving lives of our men and women in the operating rooms of Vietnam. Your story matters!
Ahe' hee for the kinds words. We'll pass the word. Take care
The dude the does the chizz for cheii Loren Anthony he was the singer for blood line...they jam good..third degree kick ass bac then too... Also a band Dying Tribe was popular too...grown up days man thus brings bac alota memories..fresh outa high school and would go to these shows..
Yessir, it was a great scene back then, I'm way out of the loop and don't really know who's playing these days aside Downplay, Blissins and Signal 99. 🤙🏾
So he lost his trigger finger. That was a good thing. He can't fight their stupid war they created to kill off the people on both sides of a conflict (also created by them) all the while they are getting rich and fat from our blood. Now they are beginning it again. This an endless cycle of death, destruction, and degradation they have us locked into. If good people don't find their courage and conviction to stand up and stop them they will continue to create conflict and chaos to keep us all fighting each other and not them and stay in power. Their biggest fear is the people of this world finding this out. That's when we stop fighting each other and start fighting them. How many of them are there?
👋😎🙏👍💪💙💯🦅
Thank you so much for sharing your lives with me.
Ahe' hee, glad you enjoyed Raeanna's series
I remember The Alamo, where the sheep love a good cut.
Everyday Sunday!
Be very proud, the stories of the American Indians gave me heart and to keep fighting for the truth surrounded by tricks. This is a small example of the fight: ua-cam.com/video/lUV65sV8nu0/v-deo.html
When we are very young and in school and we do not learn about Virtues we fall to vice because we are blind.
There are also giants, grandfathers of whichever animal clan, many up here
Ahe' hee for your input. What area do you reside? I've had offline discussions similar to your comment.
I have so much respect for the family that generously shared this. Respect and gratitude.
Agreed, they are very welcoming and felt like I was hanging out with family that I haven't seen in a long time.
It was great hearing Grandma speak. You should add Arnold Clifford to your list of interviews. 👍👍
He's on the radar, stay tuned!
Your stories are beautiful. Stay blessed. Im 100% Navajo. My family history goes back to 1580. Our family's written history starts in Seboyeta, NM, when the Spanish Fransican priests documented their travel near Mt Taylor. Through much struggle with the Spanish governors, with land grants, Spanish settlements, and non conversion to Catholicism, my ancestors were forced to move to present day Tohajiilee,NM in 1750. Reference: Wikipedia, Seboyeta Navajos, Seboyeta, NM. Catholic libraries archived in Mexico City, 1580. I posted 2 DNA results on UA-cam, Patterson Platero. Interestingly, no Asian or Siberian connections.
Ahe' hee for sharing insight to your lineage. Have you watched our To'hajiilee video with the medicine man Marty? He shared the history of To'hajiilee and Seboyeta. I really enjoyed his stories and learning the history of To'hajiilee.
Yoooo! Hiya, neighbors!
Are you from the Alamo area?
@@Spagoshi My family is from the Tierra Amarilla area!
@@OGimouse1 copy that, I'll be in that area this season, I have a hunt in Unit 51 🤙🏾
100% I am with you on this, many people take things for granted and wonder why they do not work as good. Respect for you young lady, you are a great medicine woman.
Dang if those materials existed when my grandma use to sheet she would be happy. I remember sometimes that they would be upset because the scissors weren’t sharpened.
Haha, agreed. I still remember the sound of the sheers and always wondered if all sheers were made the same way. The electronic ones does the job and the vibration does a number on your hands, ha
