Connor Chee - Sunrise (from Scenes from Dinétah) | Navajo Piano

"Sunrise" ( for solo #piano )
It is Navajo tradition to wake up before the sun rises, so you can greet him and offer a prayer with white corn pollen. It is believed that you should never let the sun "see you sleeping," but rather find you already awake and ready to take on the day. When the Holy People see that you are already prepared to face the challenges of the day, they will bless you.
