As an afterthought, it looks sacred and spiritual to simply stand on this land… thus, my wish to visit before I leave this earth. Thank you, I love these videos. 🙏🏻
Hahahaha ok
You ain't leaving Earth homie! You're here 4 good!
It is a haunting place that will stay with you forever.
@@stevemeska7784 no, that is wrong
It's sad but this is the kind of appropriation that makes bad blood between our tribes . The Dine' have not been living there forever they came into the area only maybe 1000 years ago from the northern. The land they are claiming belongs to the Hopi people otherwise why are there NO ancient Navajo dwellings only Hisat Sinom(Hopi Ancestors) CLIFF HOUSES. Sad even young dine' don't know their true history.
I went there once. I drove by myself for hours and got there late in the day. It was an amazing and awesome place full of spirit. There were a couple of people there but that’s all. A guy asked if I wanted to take a tour but it was too late and I just wanted to sit there quietly. As I did, I saw a coyote moving through the land up into some rocks, moving like a shadow. I took a photo and even knowing the coyote was there I had to look hard to find it. I asked myself why I drove so many hours just to be there for such a short time but this video reminds me that I am so glad I did!!
It sounds like a great experience.
The Dine land is sacred. Even as a child I felt time stop when I entered Dine land. ❤
Interesting. Where did the time go? haha.
A place of peace & tranquility. ❤️
Back in '79, I was fortunate enough to go there and camp with my boyfriend. We saw a full October moon rise right between the 'thumbs' of the male and female 'mittens'. The beauty and energy will be clear in my mind forever. Thank you for letting us stay for that one magical night.
Thank you.
I love Monument Valley. There is something timeless about it. You can feel the greatness of creation and the vastness of time. Our human lives are so small and humble when you stand among nature that has been here for millennia. 💗
Creators ancient sentinel time eternal...Scenic peaceful serenity....thank you very much.
Peace be too all
Thank you! Love & light.

“ Everything is either male or female “
Thank you for this Beautiful teachings!
I believe it. In also many countries around the world.
Thank you Mr. Brown AND Shane...
We so loved our visit to those areas, made my heart soar with warmth to see this video. The ancestors said hello when we visited there, such a good feeling. Thank you for your knowledge and generosity in sharing.
It is easy to sense the beauty of your words and your homelands. Thank you.
I'm learning about your culture. I have always been drawn to the history of it && the stories. I loved listening to my grandmother's stories too.. I live in East Tennessee near the Appalachian trail & the Nolichucky River runs thru. It is beautiful here as well. I remember seeing where you are here in a movie when I was young. Thank you for sharing.. I love your teachings.🙏🧡
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Beautiful 🙏✌️❤️
The birds are so happy to hear the stories 😊
Beautiful! Thank you.☮️💖🎶
I have a million things to say but really all I want to say simply as always is Thank you for these videos.
im inspired to become the person I want to be lisening to Wally's knowldge of the Dine history and the information he passes along to us on the web. I wish I could visit and say thanks in person ❤
Wow! Monument valley is so beautiful.
Eye am wondering if those monuments were once large Tree Trunks like so many around the world like Diamond Head on Oahu and Devil's Tower in Wyoming with a lot of silica
They are
It's eons of erosion
Monument Valley is a very spiritual place for me. I spent 2 out of the 3 weeks I was over in the USA saying hello to all the rock and stone people that I saw. Faces in the rocks, even in the dust whirls. So many faces, all smiling. I just kept waving and smiling and saying hello. It was very special and the connection I feel to the land in Western USA is almost holy... I felt like I had come home. I do not mean that to be insulting.... This is my truth and I am speaking it xx
There is a deep genetic link between Native Americans and Europeans bc the same ancient peoples who populated Europe and Asia crossed into North America.
Many thanks, that was breathtaking
This place is amazing. The energy of this place is incredible. 🙏💙🌎
Hope you're well and safe Wally!
I'm a Cherokee native & am glad I'm ABLE to interact with OTHERS here in Kern county calif. BLESSED & may BLESSED ALSO BE...
Thank you, Teacher 🙏 Beautiful video
I like to listen. It's always good to hear history. It humbles me to listen.
Stunning. On my bucket list.
me too
Beautiful place!!🤙👽🕳💯:thanks for sharing this ❤🙏
I can't help but to feel as though a part of me has lived here before. So tranquil, so balancing. so amazing, so much quiet but so much life and amazement. Maybe we just need to know where to look.
I am so grateful for your videos explaining things and speaking the Navaho - D’neh- language. The flute and storm soundtrack was a perfect match to the awesome landscape footage. Thank you ❤️🙏🏻🕊
...beautiful sight with powerful peaceful strength!...💟🌞🍀
I can feel the sacredness of this place through this video, thank you
Beautiful video Wally . Thank you again for showing us the wonderment of this spiritual place .
This is one of those sacred places that is always in my heart though I have never seen it in person. Thank you Grandfather Wally for taking us there with you. I will watch this many times.....
Amazing history from a man who’s walk a life that stories will live with an unwritten language. Blessed are those who get a chance to meet him an learn. Joe from California
Thank you from my heart 💖 Wally for your teachings 🙏🏻🙌🏻most grateful for your videos! I totally forgot that there were so many films 🎥 🎞 created in Monument Valley! So many westerns. The landscape is incredible. Thank you for filming it's beauty! 🙏🏻 💖🙌🏻
Blessings on all..for sharing this time and teachings!
Wado,Aho!
Im surprised the elders let anything or anyone from Hollywood near that beautiful place.
You think they had a choice??
You make me miss my grandfather- he told me stories all the time around the campfire about my native relatives
It so beautiful it looks fake ❤️ wish everyone would treated Mother Earth like indigenous people do. How happy she would be
❤️
Some places looks like you're on Mars.
Monument Valley is, by far, one of my most favorite places on Earth.
this was an amazing video. thank you!!! i, um, may have to watch this one a few more times ...
His artwork is superb. There is something so very profound to ancient aesthetics. Rare to see in modern times.
I would love to dance before the Creator here
Thank you for sharing this video and wonderful music
I, humbly, thank you. I feel the sacredness of the land. I feel that I know it through your teachings. May you continue to be blessed for many winters to come.
I was there four years ago. One of the most beautiful, haunting places I've ever been. The Navajo people are hospitable hosts, and their tour to see this amazing place is a must-do. I love the Grand Canyon, but Monument Valley is an incredibly special place and I can't wait to go back.
The area is so beautiful my heart feels at peace. I've never seen it in person but, I can understand why people feel connected to it.
The creator loved indigenous peoples, look at the beauty he gave us to ponder at. Self sustained.
Thank you Wally :)
Thank you so much for creating all of these videos! 🙏🏻
I'd love to see captions whenever Wally speaks Diné Bizaad
IMO, that would be helpful for many (especially young Navajo) to learn the language
Does anyone else agree?
I wish I could visit this wonderful place
It’s a magical place. Awesome.
Thank You for sharing Wally!
Thank you
So beautiful.
Thank you thank you thank you sometimes words can’t express what I have “been told” and you showed that today right on time for me. I love my home in Arizona... thank you for reminding me of some of it beauty that is currently out of reach for me. Thank you 🙏💚🕺🏽🌵 also the flute was awesome... my flutes have been playing me for 20+ years... 😅🤓
My favorite place to photograph in the world. I love my Navajo guides from Twin Warriors.
I grew up in eastern New Mexico and spent many years in Clayton, nearly on the foot of Rabbit Ear mountain. I feel a connection to the plains and the mountains and canyons there. I even climbed to the top of Rabbit Ear mountain when I was a younger man. I am truly moved by Mother Earth. I hope someday I can truly visit the Navajo Nation and learn more and make a connection with Mother Earth and the people there before I go to the next world. Thank you for this teaching.
Thank you for this priceless video!
Nature is beautiful but can be scary at times if you don't know how to behave and survive...
I wonder how Diné people could survive in such harsh conditions. It blows my mind...No running water, no fertile soil to plant crops...Living on large, desolate land...You also need roof over your head....Hard to comprehend. Knowing that the government in those days pushed Native Americans to live in such places is....just beyond words can describe...
I bow down to all Diné people.
You are incredible. I pray that your language and culture will forever survive to shine bright.
To show human heart and strength.
❤ ❤ ❤

Спасибо вам что вы делитесь своей историей, культурой. 👍 💓
Foot prints dating back 23,000 years have been discovered in New Mexico. So much history we don't know.
Beautiful place wish i could see it.
Thanku for sharing such richness, a photo of which adorns my wall above other treasures from yours & others nearby homelands 🙏🏼🧡🌈
A shaman was asked:
What is poison?
- Everything beyond your needs is poison.
That can mean power, laziness, food, ego, ambition, vanity, fear, anger and something else.
What is fear?
- It ist the non-acceptance of uncertainty. When we accept uncertainty, it becomes an adventure.
What is jealousy?
- It is the non-acceptance of good in other people. When we accept this good, it becomes an inspiration.
What is anger?
- It is the non-acceptance of what lies out of our control. When we accept this, it becomes tolerance.
What is hate?
- It is the non-acceptance of other people, how they are. When we accept them without condition, it becomes love.
Love so much ❤️ thank you
Thank you for this teaching, and thank you for this beautiful video and audio. Sacred place.
For some reason East of Flagstaff and Winslow Arizona region resonates with me. The stars in the night and the earth landscape.
I love your videos. There is so much wisdom and knowledge.
Greetings Wally,thank-you for speaking and sharing your knowledge.your manners and teachings are very heart warming and comforting. I visited this area in 1995 with a friend of mine and stayed in a hogan dwelling facing monument valley. Truly a spiritual experience. We were welcomed by a navajo family and stayed for three nights. We apparently the first white females allowed to stay in one of these sa red dwellings as permission had only been passed recently by the families medicine man. We also had the opportunity to witness a cleansing ceremony for the families eldest son whom was joining the forces. We were lulled to sleep that evening with the sounds of drumming and male voices chanting,truly an amazing experience. The next morning we were invited into the teepee to speak and share a meal with the family and all of their relatives, we were made to feel very welcome. During our stay we also enjoyed many opportunities to speak with the families grandfather elder,his story telling and wisdom resonates with me even to this day. Grandfather was a wind talker during ww2 his experiences and knowledge kept me always hanging on his every word. I will treasure my time spent in the valley and carry that family in my heart and thoughts with highest regard,I consider them my family. I hope to one day return again.
Thank you so much this is beautiful.
They are the stumps of ancient giant trees
I enjoyed the sounds of the birds. And the Kokopelli.
Thank you so much for these videos... stay well
Thank you sir. I have been there. Amazing
splendid landscape
Ooo I see this in my heat am home .....💫🦅
I love this area. Because of the unusual geographical formations and how they were formed by the forces of nature. Amazing beautiful place. I'm not a fan of the the old movies. However, I am a huge fan of nature and Mother Earth. Thank you for the video.
Thanks
Just visited this area bought awesome hand made jewelery very special place..
I was very fortunate to have a very good new friend invite me on a backpacking trip back in September 2019. He had just helped me get into backpacking and had already had arrangements made to backpack to Keet Seel out of Navajo National Monument. I was not aware of Keet Seel or Betatakin before this invite, and had never experienced the surrounding area either. It is an incredible area. I'm so thankful for that very rare experience and the really challenging hike. A very nice young ranger lady in her first year at Keet Seel guided us around the complex. Keltyana (sp?) was her name. I would love to get back out to that area. I now try to explain to others why referring to such places as "ruins" is not correct. These places are still of use, and are significant.
Love is sacred
