Monsters Among Us: Navajo Stories from Rocky Ridge, Arizona
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2024
- Tucked into a valley in Rocky Ridge, Arizona, the residents live quietly among the mesas herding sheep. But they are also prize-winning ropers and riders, and before them there were WWII veterans storming the beaches of Normandy. And long before that, Navajo lore says there were monsters--monsters who are still among us. Join us as we ride along with Gene Shepherd and explore petroglyphs, origin stories, and where the monsters are lurking today.

I'm grateful you edited this. Of course I want to hear the story. But he's right. There are some stories our brothers and sisters have already shared with the world. I'll give the edited version of one from way up north. A happy family lived way up north. But then one day the husband never came back. He left his wife and two children for another woman. THe wife was hurt, then sad, then angry. She changed how she looked. She tricked the other woman into a painful death. Then she turned into a bear and killed her husband. In her anger she forgot to change back. She returned home as a bear and her children were scared and turned into birds and flew away. Of course it's metaphor but the the morals (and possibly the consequences) are real- stick with family, don't abandon your family, don't betray your spouse....
Commitment can be difficult for souls that are immature. Sadly, sometimes folks fall in love with just such a person.
Re: the bear
metamorphosis, it's important not to spend life looking back in rage/self-pity... or pass those crippling
vibes to the children.
Being bigger than such pain - wounds that assail us - is a gift we give ourselves.
Paz y luz... from the heart.
Ahe' hee for your understanding & sharing your stories from up north. What area from up north are you from? Reach out to us via social media (IG / FB). Much appreciated! Ahe' hee 🤙🏾
@@mortalclown3812 Interesting, I see some crossover and parallels. Ahe' hee for sharing! 🤙🏾
The Monsters among us are the leadership of this world and the ones that follow them.
if you call them m450ns, people stop thinking of them as just musicians and entertainers and public figures.
The globalist cabal are definitely the most frightening monsters on earth!
That's so true...
I only hope more people open their eyes and see the truth
The ones in the US are polishing their jack boots, wearing red hats and flying Confederate flags.
For all her flaws, America had a light once. ✨️
My uncle Joe Crabtree was Navajo. He was a highly decorated U.S. Marine Wind Talker. Bronze star and three purple hearts.
Ahe' hee for sharing your family history. Is your uncle still with us? Ahe' hee to our cheii's for their service 🤙🏾
@@Spagoshi Thank you very much. No my uncle Joe past away around twenty years ago. Something else about my uncle Joe. They said that he was very good at football and he could run like a deer. He was a top pick for college football but he got drafted and went to war. He was a high ranking Shriner. He went around the country for decades and raised money for children's hospitals.
Copy that, what area was your uncle from?
That's some amazing info! Can you reach out to us at info@spagoshi.com
Much appreciated
@@Spagoshi Don't know. Uncle Joe and his mom moved to New Orleans from out west when he was a boy. That's how he met my aunt Rosemary and married into my family. His mom barely spoke a word of English, mostly Navajo. She had long hair down to her feet. My mom and her became close friends. My Grand mother was half Houma Indian and Cajun. I found that out when I was 19. There's alot of whites in America that don't know that they have Native American Indian/ Indigenous American blood in them. I was married to a Seminole eight years. Choctaw 10 years. She was the best one but past away.
Respect to the frst nations
Ahe' hee, much appreciated 🤙🏾 have a great weekend
Thank you for sharing.
Aoh', anytime 🤙🏾
I love the native American people, and love to sit around the campfire and listen to these ancient stories way up into the night! God bless you and thank you for sharing this with us ❤
Aoh' glad you enjoy our People sharing their stories. Ahe' hee 🤙🏾
A lot of the Navajo stories can only be told in the winter.
@@rjake6562 Agreed, which is another reason why we didn't share it on camera.
My late Grandfather's brother (my cheii) parachute into Normandy on D- Day with the 82nd Airborne "All American". He passed away in 2015. As a kid he told me about how his unit got scatter all over and they had different units banding together to fight, he told his story on a drive from Western Navajo to Cortez CO in the late 90's. In later years I remember I bringing home a CMP M1 Garand and I showed it to him. He was old but I could tell his hand remembered the rifle like as if he carried it yesterday.
That's a great story of your Cheii's brother, what is his name? The feel of a rifle is a natural instinct to most of us who grew up with them. M1 Garand is a beautiful rifle indeed. Ahe' hee for sharing your family's history. 🤙🏾
Did he jump in Sicily?
@@traho811 I don't know but he did mention Operation Market Garden only in passing at a family reunion. He didn't speak of his experience a lot.
AATW ❤
Dad was 2nd wave. Omaha Beach and said he got separated after the beach. No movie type marching in large numbers as that would be a target. He worked up to a Sargeant, even interrogated an SS, then when back he still was not 17 and was demoted to Private.
I lived among the Crows and Cheyenne for 4 years. Floyd Realbird was my best friend at the time. He invited me to a sweat bath with his tribal members, but I never went. It was below zero weather and the jumped into the Little Bighorn River after the sweat bath. I didn't think I could do it. Great people and lifelong friends.
That sounds like a great invite. Have you considered trying it one day?
@@Spagoshi Hello, Robert Here, I commented on The Crow tribe. No I now live in Helena, my friend passed away a few years ago. He was a great story teller.
@@robertfarrar9223Copy that, Thanks for sharing your story about the Crows. I have a good friend who is also a filmmaker and from the Crow tribe. We've been meaning to collaborate for the past years but time and family is always a priority that restricts us from that venture. Actually, a behind the scenes insight: when Peter Santenello and I were discussing logistics about doing an interview he said his Crow contact fell through and was in Montana trying to figure out what to do, so I called my Crow friend and asked if there is someone he could recommend and his brother came through and that's the gentleman Peter interviewed. Have a great day sir! 🤙🏾
After the body is wayy warmed up from the sweat, a dunk in the ice is not uncomfortable
I’m only hear because the Navajo code talkers keep my grandfather safe at Saipan and Okinawa. I wish I knew their names.
Wow, thanks for sharing part of yiur family's history. If their names are ever recovered or discovered, please share. Ahe' hee 🤙🏾
I'm a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma and the Choctaws were the first code talkers and fought in both world wars.
Thank you for sharing this information. My father was also in the invasion of Normandy, 29 Infantry Division, he passed away in 2010.
Amazing, what tribe is he affiliated with? Ahe' hee for his service on that day in WWII history. 🙏🏾🤙🏾
Hello, my father Frank Ibarra was born in Williams, Arizona. He was not a Native American. My father had so much respect and a special place in his heart for Nature Americans. He would say my Paisanos. 😊❤️
@@patjimenez3958 There you go, ahe' hee for sharing his story and quote 🤙🏾 he would be shi'kis to his Dine' comrades
Ahe’hee 🙏🏼
Listening closely with my heart.
Love & warm wishes from Las Vegas, NV.
There you go. It's a simple & great as that! 🤙🏾
Telling the stories and keeping the history makes sure the spirit lives forever.
Ahe' hee for your support & watching Gene's videos. That's why we do this, we gotta keep the tradition alive & preserved. Take care 🤙🏾
Thank you for bringing us into your home and life for the time and pray the beautiful children are learning all this same history you're sharing with us, keeping the way alive
Ahe' hee for watching Gene's video. The Shepherd family are a very generous family & they couldn't have been more welcoming when I arrived on their homestead. I'll pass the word to Gene, 🤙🏾
I wish I had grandparents, biological mother.. I was always hungry to learn more of the traditional ways of the Native Americans. My adopted dad's wife would tell her kids when they were younger and I would sit from a distance and listen. Her kids were never interested to learn... Sad she's gone and stories are gone..
That's a bummer to hear. There is plenty of content out there on YT & podcast. We'll self promote our previous videos to help you out but there are many others who can help you as well. Let us know how we could with certain materials. Have a great evening 🤙🏾
I just love the native American people. They're very patient and very friendly, I have a friend from the papagos from South Arizona and his family are very good people
That's great to hear, we're currently laying out a plan to expand to other tribes & specifically the southern Arizona tribes. Any leads would be most helpful, ahe' hee

I am always fascinated by the stories and legends. Thank you!
I encourage you to take a trip to the Navajo Nation parks & listen to your surroundings. You feel the energy.
@3:02 “3 of my uncles were WW2 veterans…” The famous WINDTALKERS !!! VERY COOL!
Nizhoni, Ahe' hee for their service. What area are they from?
@@Spagoshi
I was quoting you, sir. If I misspoke, my apologies. I’ve long been an admirer of the Wind Talkers, I even bought the movie with Adam Beach, and when you said 3 of your Uncles were WW2 Veterans, that was what flashed through my mind. Again, I meant no disrespect or offense, and beg pardon if I offended in any way.
@@irishgrl All good & understood. Your handle states you're Irish, what area are you from? I was really into celtic culture back in my early 20's because of the parallels between Natives & Irish.
@@Spagoshi
I’m American of Irish Ancestry but my paternal great grandmother was from County Kerry. I also agree that the Irish & Native Americans have much in common. When I went to Chico State University here in Northern California, I was lucky to hear Russell Means speak. He said that the only people who fought against occupation longer than the Native Americans were the Irish. That was an amazing revelation to me & something I never considered. I have huge respect for Mr. Means.
Also, I recently read an article in the Smithsonian (though I knew of the story previously) of the generous donation certain tribes gave to the people of Ireland during the potato famine and how the Irish people returned the favor by sending money to help Native tribes during the Covid pandemic. The Irish don’t forget. Good hearts speak to each other across all divides. I wish I could sit & hear your stories, fables, etc…such wisdom we Anglos have lost touch with, and so badly need. 😞
@@irishgrl All that is such a great story. My wife is from North California & she mentioned that the system in California speaks of Natives as a past time, not modern or existing. Times have changed for sure but I'm glad we're still able to share stories with different groups. I always admired the Irish history & culture. Keep on being proud of who you are, so we can continue sharing history & stories. We've interviewed a Laguna Pueblo artist who resides in Santa Rosa. Her video is up on our channel, check it out when you can. I'm sure you're surrounded by many artist who will invite you for storytelling & sharing good times. Ahe' hee for stories & take care 🤙🏾
Wow!!
Was just asking for protection for ALL LIFE HERE....
AND...HERE your channel shows up!
🙏👣
🙌🏾 welcome to the Spagoshi community! 🤙🏾
God bless real america,it’s hurtin but will prevail.
great people culture and spirit...
Agreed, we're going through growing pains & we will prevail. Ahe' hee for your support & watching Gene's video!
Not sure about the future, letting illegals in my benefits have been cut half in my 60s, I am sure that the upcoming generations will have nothing to retire on,go ahead and laugh, I will to😮
Too much evil has been perpetrated against us all. These monsters must be removed to protect all peoples. The empire that is the federal government will fall as all empires do. It is then the good people must bring forth the truth of what they know so we can piece together the truth of our reality. I believe with all my heart that as human beings who are united in a common struggle to rebuild our for the greater good of all we can prevail and give future generations a better life than we had.
👍 my oldest aunt said when they herded sheep as a kid, when they got thirsty they would go down into the wash just beyond the road you guys drove in on and dig about a foot into the ground and wait for water to accumulate and drink from it.
💯
The aunties of those days were strong & resilient! They do not make them like that anymore! Many blessings to your family!
That's pretty damn amazing! When I'm back in the area, I'll have to check that out. Ahe' hee much appreciated 🤙🏾
Agreed, appreciate your support! 🤙🏾
@@Spagoshi the water table isn't as high anymore, might need an excavator to reach water 😂 💪 the water table has dropped drastically due to years of drought
@jackalope4286 I'll have to bring a larger spade to dig then, ha 🙌🏾
The partial story told by Gene about the man arguing with the women was very touching, sad and scary…. All at the same time to me…. I once was like that man also, foolishly thinking I was the only one providing, when in reality my woman was providing love, nurturing, and the well being of our children… which in reality love ❤️ is everything in life… 🙏🏽 The Monsters created due to the separation of the man and the woman… that was scary… Very! Very! Touching Video 😢🙏🏽 ⛰️
Aoh' ahe' hee for your comment. The entire story is a well told life lesson. We live in a complicated world and we overlook what is most important. We appreciate your comment. Ahe' hee 🤙🏾
Yes my dad was part Aztec like his uncles went to Else's Larain Batles Arden Forest, Forest Tiporol, and Bulge; 79th Army Infantry Division, MILK BATALIAN, K Company.
Nizhoni, ahe' hee for their service. Aztec has a rich history as well & I'm deeply fascinated by the history of the pyramids. One day, I hope to visit the ancient sites & speak to someone about the local deep lore. Ahe' hee for your support & sharing your family history 🤙🏾
❤ thank you for your kind words. Nothing weak in them at all, people try to tell me folks think kindness is weak. Do not concur. I see only living strength in your words.

the artwork on the rock faces are absolutely mesmerizing.. so sacred.. beautiful.. private, protective and stingy with them🕊🕊.. absolutely absolutely
We're glad you appreciated that part of the visual. We'll be doing a special on just the visuals of the petroglyphs we've come across during our interviews. Ahe' hee for your comment & welcome to the online Spagoshi community! 🤙🏾
@@Spagoshi 🙏🏻❣️🙏🏻
I have dinè friends and very much enjoy hearing the stories told by the elders. Thank you for your wonderful story! 😊 Much love from Utah ❤!
Great to hear & yes the storytelling from elders is always fascinating. Glad you enjoyed Gene's video, 🤙🏾 have a great week
Thank you for sharing what you could. It should be noted that the traditional stories are gaining respect through the work of researchers like Gregg Braden, Paul Wallis and Billy Carson. These ancient stories can teach us so much about our roots as human beings and lessons we should take to heart.
I'll look up the gentleman you mentioned. Thanks for sharing that info as well. Have a great week & we appreciate your support, ahe' hee 🤙🏾
🖤❤️🧡🤍 my home... Love this beautiful history!
🙌🏾 it's definitely a beautiful place & full of history, ahe' hee for your comment
Wish that I could right all the wrong that we have done to the native Americans. As a child, I always was Appalled by the stories that we were told and taught in school about what we did and how we praised ourselves for doing the things that we did! Wish we would have joined you all instead of taking what was never owers!
You are loved by those of us who see the truth through all the lies! GB❤
Ahe' hee for your thoughtful comment. We appreciate your sympathy but lets move forward & learn from the past, whether is was good or bad. 🤙🏾 Have a great day!
😮❤ Gene, you resemble my brother Norman, like a twin!🇨🇦
These are gold nuggets of wisdom. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching Gene's videos. Much appreciated, ahe' hee 🤙🏾
Those petroglyphs are in a place called Dawa Park. It was actually a three tiered village.
Gene briefly mentioned it while we were driving out there, he pointed out to the mesas west of the road about the villages that use to be there. Ahe' hee for watching Gene's video 🤙🏾
Thanks for the great interview and information that is so important for us to learn. Real historical facs are priceless!!
Ahe' hee for your comment & watching Gene's video, have a great week sir 🤙🏾
I KNOW THAT I WILL BE HATED !
But like the Australian Aboriginals !if you had have stuck together , you could have beaten them !
Sorry but to much fighting amongst yourself
S ❤️🇦🇺
@antonibertolacci7030 Well hate is a strong word but your assumption is wrong there sir. We did stick together except broken treaties is what did all tribes in. You gotta love the power of ink.
@@Spagoshi
Broken treaties are just one of the MANY things that our government has done to make many Americans no longer believe anything we're told.
I love my country.
Trust my government?
NO!
They've broken our trust and lost credibility.
God save us all 🙏

Powerful way to start off my Sunday! Thank you for sharing this! I also respect that he shared that a mans role is to always be working for his family and out of the house. This is an old school teaching that emphasizes the traditional role of the man. This way is being forgotten, and as a young man I find it valuable. When he mentioned the petroglyphs, I saw your eyes light up! lol. Those stories are very powerful, some of the elder Dinè medicine men have shared them with me. What I gather is that many of the holy ones ancient teachings were perverted by some of the first men and women, they rebelled and this created monsters. It is a powerful reminder to stay on the path of Hozhó and to walk in beauty! There is a lot in the world that tries to take us off of this path!
Agreed, I never realized that these teachings were embedded in my upbringing. As I meet up with other tribes outside of Dine', there is a lot of similarities and I hope to share the bigger picture of how we are all connected. Ahe' hee for your comment and support! 🤙🏾
Gratitude 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏🙏

Thank you for your service and for sharing your story. Were there a lot of overlap in the stories or few and far between? Ahe' hee for your comment & insight 🤙🏾
@@Spagoshi actually they were very similar in some ways there were a few about the giants and people from the skies
And the underground travel. And the curses for those who go in places marked forbidden by the elders
I love hearing these stories much love from newzealand ❤ wanna vist old west Americana
Ahe' hee for watching us from down under! We hope to be in the area in the near future. Much appreciated 🤙🏾

We dig your DRI handle. Saw them at Launchpad back in 2000. Great show
Up here in the PNW, there are people who are seen as monsters, and other people who are generous, gentle, and protective. I wonder if it's that way where you are too. Some call them Sabe, and refer to them as teachers, masters, and helpful people known for their integrity.
That's an interesting insight to your region. Ahe' hee for sharing. We are hoping to be out there for a few potential interviews. Please keep in touch! info@spagoshi.com

That's pretty amazing! What area was your uncle from? Ahe' hee for sharing your family's history 🤙🏾
I’m not native, but my whole life I’ve been drawn to there way of life and traditions. In my soul I feel I must have been in another life..I’m white as can be but, I’ve never connected to our basic way of life. I wish I had a way to make better connections with these people and integrate into their ways. It’s calls to me on an almost celestial level. I’ve never been able to explain it.
Ahe’hee for your comment and your passion to be part of the culture. Your skin color doesn’t matter when you’re seeking spirituality. I encourage you to embrace who you are as you go on your spiritual journey. Remember to do your prayers to the east before the sun rises. Ahe’hee 🤙🏾
Great video, and awesome Cure hoodie!
Glad you noticed that, we saw them back in May 2023 & we blended right in with all the other middle aged fans! ha Ahe' hee for your support 🤙🏾
I don't know why but I felt a certain way about natives at a very young age 3-4, same thing regarding bonsai trees, I feel you can't fail as a person by learning and respecting Japanese and native cultures
There is a sense of enlightenment but the challenge is holding onto tradition in a modern technological world. Doesn't matter of your background, it's always important to stay connected to nature. 🤙🏾

This was a very beautiful video. Could you please spell out for me what he mentioned at the very end that still walks among Us. And I was wondering if you could tell me what your people say the legend of how the dog man came to be. I've been on a whole hearted journey for truth I'm trying to understand how some of these things have come to be. I am curious how your peoples survived such things when currently it takes a high-powered rifle to stay safe
The English section of the last part is what he is explaining. Long sleeve is for the men & it's for protection is the overall take away. As far as dog men, I think that's more of a plains tribe deal or eastern tribe deal. Are you Dine' or another tribe? Ahe' hee for your comment & being apart of the Spagoshi community
it's possible, but it's also possible it's a bunch of hogwash made up on creepypasta and society can't tell the difference any more. i don't remember any skinwalker stories from arizona before the internet, but now there are wendigos, rakes and a hundred other cryptid tropes with "many sightings". all the dog men i see attend a lodge like all the monsters.
WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE.. THIS IS TURTLE 🐢 ISLAND 🏝️
Ahe' hee for checking out Gene's video! One day, we'll be in the area. Much appreciated 🤙🏾
I listen closely when native people speak and believe that if we had listened to them long ago, we would not be in the trouble we are in now. Who do they think those monsters really are, because I think they are literally closer to the truth than most people realise. I have so often observed that what is happening here on the earth is inhuman. And then I realised that it actually is inhuman. There are monsters among us and we has all better start singing songs of protection to God, because its about to get much much worse.
Interesting point of view on that, we'll have to think about it but I agree with what you're saying. Prayers are a daily necessity and is often overlooked due to the hustle and bustle in the modern age. Resetting on the motherland does wonders but I think it's just a reconnection to mother earth. 🤙🏾
So I’m blind, and I’m listening with my voiceover, and it says there’s a blue mist around one of the men a man with a cowboy hat and a blue mist….

His story sounds like what is going on now! Basically the household starts having fights starting to put out negative energy and bad energy comes demonic force's love to feed off it. Once you get house straight learn to forgive and love, invest in children, and things change.
That type of behavior will always be around & not just a now thing. What needs to happen now is recognizing it & addressing it. Ahe' hee for sharing your insight & watching Gene's video! 🤙🏾
Thank you for sharing this Navajo folk lore. I do love reading about Ancient Native American folk mythology. 5 years ago, I had a chance to ride horses with a Navajo rider in Monument Valley area. I am glad the Monument Valley area is still left intact and hasn’t changed. Great respect for the Navajo people and their tradition. 🦅
Time stamp at 1.22 did anyone notice the yellow green orb in the picture here going hey wire in the back round? 😮
Yup, it's called a lense flare. Most commonly seen when filming towards the setting sun. 😉
@@Spagoshi so just opticals aye. Wow. I took that lense flare there as a spiritual guide over the sacred bit of land you where filming. Ha I was looking to much into it then. My badd. Thankyou for your truth bro. Respect 🫡.
@@TheRastalockz Anytime bud, there are some clips we left on the editing floor with unknown voices or sounds. Sometimes strange stuff happens in spiritual places
@@Spagoshi I suspect there’s alot of blood spilt on Native Indian lands. Along with desecration such as mining minerals and oil drilling as shown on some of your clips. With out proper prayer or homage to the ones that have come before and that have lost there life’s to evil intent. Many moderaters of the spiritual realms such as our element gods whitch surround our earth on a daily. Something that white man don’t care of because they are culture less too a large extent. Rapist and pillages to no end. Greedy and envious. I wish your lands were more protected than Reservations you still have. In possession. Without proper procedure bad entity’s tend to linger and put a shivers dwn your spine. And good spiritual entity’s tend to let you pass by with a warm fuzzy feeling from my experiences.

Okay, the Navajos weren't the only code talkers. The Choctaws were the first and fought in both world wars. Not taking anything away from what the Navajos did, but the record needs be kept straight.
You're jumping ahead with assumptions. We're starting with Dine' & we already have potentials lined up for interviews that had family who were code talkers that weren't Navajo.
Aside from that, I'm curious where you got your info on Choctaws being the first?
Ahe' for watching Gene's video and creating a conversation. 🤙🏾
@@Spagoshiit’s true. Choctaw’s were the first code talkers in the Army in WWI.

People are monsters 👹
A few are, most are not.
monsters are people. anything can be a problem, anything is finite. people in west papua are genocided for 63 years for u.s. gold mining but no one in the u.s says anything ever. who's a monster. john quincy adams was antimasonic party. who is a monster. who says these things. get out of my way if you aren't going to do it.
Pray to Jesus for protection.
We appreciate you sharing your personal views & what I've noticed is the blending of biblical beliefs paralleled with traditional beliefs. Are you Dine'? Thanks for your comment 🤙🏾
10:12 WTF😢
What happened at that marker aside the video ending?
Why censor history?
Traditionally these stories are meant to share one on one, oral history being pass down from one generation to another. Out of respect for our own culture, we abided to that tradition by not sharing to a mass. If you're wanting to learn about the history, reach out to us info@spagoshi.com or PM us via Social Media. What Gene shared was winter stories which will end beginning of March & start again in the Navajo new year: October. Does that makes sense? Ahe' hee for checking out Gene's video 🤙🏾

This is similar to how the giants and the titans came about. You could trace it to an argument between a man and a woman. They part ways, fallen angel gods appear to the upset woman and promise her everything in return for relations. The man either dies working to death or is seduced by a fallen angel goddess. Both produce monsters.
May God help us

A lot of my conversations with the elders happen offline & numerous times, we've come to the conclusion that the Bible has parallels to tribal beliefs. The giants is what fascinates me the most. The unbalance at home will pave your path to trouble but a balanced home will keep you on track. 🤙🏾
@@Spagoshi research Eastern Orthodox Christianity ☦️ read from the lives of the desert fathers and the lives of the early saints. Many of them fought giants, faced cryptids ie: dogmen, sirens, reptilians, dragons, etc. also look into the Book of Enoch.
Even though I believe Mormonism is a false religion, I do think Joseph smith stole secrets from the Freemasons when he spoke about the native tribes allegedly being the lost tribes of Israel. I see a lot of evidence that supports this.
I hope to one day be able to sit with an elder from a tribe near me which is mostly Apache and some Navajo and Hopi. We haven’t even begun to uncover the truth of this earth.
May God bless, protect us, and bring us peace 🙏🏻☦️🕊️

It is also true about God's word. In his message of The Sermon on the Mount, Jesus uses dogs and pigs, as a way to point out those who ridicule, reject and blaspheme the Gospel, once its shared or presented to them. They trample it and return ro their sinful ways. Like a "... dog that returns to eat its vomit."
Repeatedly sharing the truth w/people who continuously scoff & ridicule; the gift of forgiveness via the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross; is like , "...casting your pearls before swine.." Pigs don't care for pearls (words of wisdom) & some people don't care for what Christ has done for them. 💔
Matt. 7:6, Proverbs 26:11, 2 Peter 2:22
To read the history of the first nations and the crimes that were perpetrated to decimate and "educate" them - applauded and approved by the then government - is not only heartbreaking. It is deeply appalling. Their pain and grief should haunt everyone
It's a good thing that our people persevered so we can tell our stories & succeed in the modern world. Which is why we decided to create this channel, to highlight the success & diversity while holding onto traditions. Ahe' hee for your comment & insight! 🤙🏾
Tell the story’s like it is! Don’t be Woke, that’s what is Wrong with the world today!!! Tell it like it should be and is!!!!!
It's the wrong time of the season. What is woke?What's your favorite winter story? Thanks for watching. Gene's video? Ahe' hee 🤙🏾
It was wonderful but ......cultural sensitivity ?!!!
Why not share the whole beautiful story ???!!!😢😊
Smiley face... wrong button !!!
The whole story is meant for one-on-one conversation & the way to respect our elder's tradition. The issue that technology introduced is that everything should be shared, but in our tradition, there are stories & practices that are meant to be left offline. Hope you understand that explanation. Have a great week & ahe' hee for asking for insight 🤙🏾
Wouldn't you think the interviewer would do his research and have some knowledge of the people and the land then just sit there and say yeah ok
Good observation but during our editing process, I remove 90% of my dialogue to give the entire platform to our interviewees.
Jesus is the only one you should be praying to for protection.
eat at joe's
You are like the many who do not understand the ways and the teachings of the Native American! Go check out what your religious people did to the Native American they took their children from the reservations and they had to live in these boarding schools where the Native American children were beaten and starved especially if they spoke their own language! The young women were raped and many of them were killed because they would not conform to the teachings of Jesus Christ !!! So tell me were those people the priests and the nuns who ran those boarding schools were they people of God!! So before you start yelling about Christ perhaps you should educate yourself about the Native Americans we were here before you and will be again! Have a nice day!!!
How do we learn anything when the story is censored? What a waste of time
Have you made an effort in their past to reach out to anyone who's willing to share the stories with you?
@Spagoshi
I grew up in Flagstaff with Navajo, Apache and Hopi friends. The stories some people tell leave things unfairly one sided or incomplete. I don't think that's right. Anything an elder has to say is important. What they have to share shouldn't be censored or edited. Just making a point and defending their culture.
What tribe are you from? Do you still reside in Flag?
@Spagoshi
I live in Phoenix now. I'm Hispanic. I had the good experience of being raised around the native culture. I still go visit once in a while, but Flag isn't the same as it once was. I went to St Mary's and South Beaver. Both of those schools got knocked down and don't exist anymore. I grew up in a logging family and enjoyed the woods. I had friends that would take me to BBQs when I was in high school and Jr High. I loved the stories the elders shared. I miss it. But they're memories now.
@@DVEX1000 we understand the stories are missed, but we’re trying to figure out how to share these stories without disrespecting our culture. Yah ah teh nakai brother 🤙🏾
Smokin some good shit in that peace pipe.
So why is it culturally sensitive to not talk about the rest of the stories? Why be stingy with them like he said? What is the fear? Do they think people won’t value the story? They won’t understand the story? And how do we learn more about it ourselves because I think there’s value learning from all cultures
Thanks for commenting & like Gene said & many other traditional Dine', sharing the story isn't meant for a broad audience. It's done specifically during the winter times, between the storyteller & those they choose to tell the story to & trust they continue the same tradition. The stories that are written in books are pretty accurate but isn't done in a traditional manner nor is it following the traditional story method, which is why we are oral storytellers & not writers. I understand everyone loves to hear the stories or learn more but it comes down to the listener to seek that information in person & fully understand why it's meant to be an oral storytelling moment. Hope that clarifies your questions. We appreciate your comment & support 🤙🏾
@@Spagoshi Thank you. It sounds like quite an honor to be included in the telling. Thank you
@@This-Is-My-Little-Corner Yes it is, which is why we respect our traditions and don't want to stir up any problems within our community. We are on IG & FB, if you have any additional questions, reach out to us there. Ahe' hee 🤙🏾
Content is culturally sensitive? To whom ???
Did you catch the last section of the video of why we don't share certain stories to a wide audience? It's part of our culture of how the storytelling is conducted and what time of the year.
@@Spagoshi culture or no culture it's a story if you don't like it dont watch it but leave that choice for me please not someone else .
@arnulfob3454 So your entitlement overrides us Dine' as a whole?
@@Spagoshi pretty much !
you can't handle it. if you could handle it, you'd find it all around you and you wouldn't need to ask here.
if you need help finding it, let me show you. it's easy, and fast.
When you edit out content, you are editing out TRUTH, and you are guilty of lieing, because not telling all, is just like lieing, and the people who are butt hurt from listening to the truth are not worth speaking to.
Sir, I respect our elders & our traditional values. We don't serve your entitlement.
Let me add to our storyline, there is great wisdom in your history, your history is not written down, it is spoken, do not change it, or sencer it, to make it more political correct, these are the lies of the woke, communist/ socialist left, it is a religion of cancel culture, throw that cellphone in the trash and listen to your elders, and embrace your past, your people, it's up to you to keep your culture alive, stop listening to whiteys lies.
if people could handle truth, they wouldn't need life.
