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.

    💈 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.

    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?

    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.
