    Building a modern home or living in a manufactured home is not the same to staying in an old Hogan with a warm fire. That is home.❤️🙏

      Wow! I have been in one only one time many years ago. But it was so beautiful and so well thought out, that I still remember it! ❤
      The one I saw was down a couple of steps, maybe around 3 feet in the ground.

      As I listened to this man and then reading your comment, I thought about what goes into making a hogan and what goes into a modern house. You have ALL 4 ELEMENTS in a Hogan- Earth, fire, wind and water. All things needed to sustain life and are in harmony with each other. What goes into a modern house? Unnatural things like drywall, paint, fiberglass, metal... All things that can cause toxicity to the human body... 🙁 I'm really rethinking modern housing and the good it does us...

    Thank you Grandfather Wally for giving us this experience of this incredibly beautiful hogan that is inspired by our bird friends and Mother Earth. I love the smooth juniper tree trunks and it makes sense that the top is like a nest. I wish the modern culture would learn to find ideas from nature like this. I have always been attracted to Dine art, baskets, weaving, clothing and jewelry because you really feel the prayerful intentions that is put into everything. It is important that we remember all these ways.

    So very interesting. The hogon is so recognizable in my region as a pit dwelling. A traditional dwelling dug out and logs placed over head forming both a dome and roof as well as the way in and out and the smoke hole. Our winters can get mighty cold -40° ! These dwellings such that the people were warm all winter. Very interesting to me how hundreds of miles apart people use the same techniques for similar reasons!

    Everything about a hogan tells us that it's the most ideal dwelling for life to flourish. All 4 elements are needed to make a hogan- Earth, Wind, Fire and Water. Modern homes have unnatural parts to them- Drywall, paint that has chemicals in it, fiberglass, and metal. I want looking for this type of enlightenment today, but it found its way to me and has altered my modern way of thinking. I honestly could live in a hogan and feel at complete peace.

You've spoken about the Anasazi in past episodes, it would be interesting to learn about Diné relationships with other groups in the southwest, such as the Yavapai, for example as they were regarded (if I'm correct) as a more war-like people. With whom did the Diné have good or otherwise relationships with and what were their methods of diplomacy? Thank you, Wally.
