  • Soak in the quiet beauty of To'Hajiilee, New Mexico, U.S.A., in the second installment of my interview with Marty Monte as he talks about some of the sacred sites visited by medicine men. To'Hajiilee is a small community of Navajos (Dine') located just west of Albuquerque that was federally recognized only in the 1960s. Community members are often regarded by other Dine' as outsiders due to historical falsehoods around The Long Walk, so their contributions--as well as the sacredness of To'Hajiilee--have been forgotten by most. Learn with me about some of these important geological features and enjoy the expansive vistas.

    Have you heard of the place where the air flows from the ground through holes in the rocks ? The airflow comes up in clockwise swirls .
    Another sacred place where offerings are made and songs are sung.
    Rough translation is the wind/breezes airway.
    My cheii' use to talk about our language being one but different in the subtleties of pronunciation from the north to the south , and from the east to the west.
    Great content 👍
    Keep it coming.

    This is very interesting. Also an incredibly beautiful area. I'm working on learning about Navajo people and culture. I haven't learned much about the regions or clans specifically, other than the mention of which clans were the original ones. So this is good to learn.

    [There is] a mistaken belief that [the word Indian] refers somehow to the country, India. When Columbus washed up on the beach in the Caribbean, he was not looking for a country called India. Europeans were calling that country Hindustan in 1492.... Columbus called the tribal people he met "Indio," from the Italian in dio, meaning "in God."

    Noticed alot of traditional navajos become christians and talk bad about our traditional ways and point out our own ppls flaws....☹️ calling it witchcraft, wicca even. So they take alot of their elders teaching and tell it to churches, the very traditional stories, and bad talk against their elders teaching....smh

    • @Spagoshi

      Most relatives we meet across the Diné Bikéyah are traditionalist with some christian beliefs and some have strong christian beliefs but respect the traditional ways. Most elders I've met have come to the conclusion that we should learn to live in peace and respect one another than compare who believes in what. It's been an interesting journey and I thoroughly enjoy meeting up with relatives I've never met before.
