- Navajo Grandma taking you to visit a Female Hogan and the explanation of what is inside and how the Navajo people have existed in these wonderful Female Hogan's forever. These are sacred, natural, and holy. This is where I grew up as a child so comforting & safe and warm with eternal familial beautiful memories. Enjoy.
Morning sister frankie. Love seeing you teach us GOOD Thing's if the tribe. Blessings to all Nations.
You are so welcome. Navajo Grandma
I've been to that Hogan in Kayenta. A few years ago my family and I ate breakfast at that Burger King then checked out the Hogan and a drunk guy came over and gave us a tour of it then asked us for money. He said he was born in a Hogan too. But your tour is much better Navajo Grandma! Thank you! I love Navajo culture!
I had to laugh that you were cordial enough to allow the drunk guy give you a tour of this place. I am happy that you came to this place and saw everything for yourself. So many do not have that opportunity and thus grandma is sharing this. Thank you for being kind and glad you had this opportunity. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Well we didn't know he was drunk until we were in the Hogan together and could smell the alcohol on him lol. *Hugs* right back at you! ❤
@@RadianceRush It is sad to say that is common place tho I prayed I could help. Alcoholism is just the same. Glad you were safe. I hope we’re happy memories. Hug. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for giving us a personal teaching about the female hogan. I live in a different part of the country so may never be able to visit live. This is as close to it as I’ll ever get. I especially appreciate the extra commentary you gave from your own knowledge and experience. May God bless you.
Never say never sweet one. Love and hugs. Gma
Blessings to Navajo Grandma
Right back at you!! Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I love you so much Grandma Navajo ❤️🙏 No , you never look weird… You always look so beautiful…. AWESOME 🤩 FEMALE HOGAN …. 10/4 ✌️❤️ 🚚
What a wonderful soul you are and so kind to grandma. I am happy to share this and that you all need to see this for yourselves one day. This may seem strange but it is awesome to sleep and live in. I still want to build one myself and have it blessed. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Love visiting the Hogan! Glad you read, to get some background. Your commentary however was outstanding! Thank you
Hi Rose, I always read to my subscribers as I write out cards so they can read a long and enjoy learning. I say in sight in mind, out of sight, out of mind. You know what I mean. Thank you for enjoying. I really loved being here and making this video. Hugs galore. Navajo Grandma
Awesome my friend

@@NavajoGrandma Thanks for the hugs and loves Grandma❤️. Keep upload your videos. Always here to support you. 🙏
Beautiful hogan home, beautiful video, beautiful Grandma! Thank you.
Thank you so much! You deserve a star on your forehead for being so kind to grandma. Thank you. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you grandma this was very beautiful ❤️
You are so welcome and happy to share. Navajo Grandma
Hi grandma thank you for sharing this video. I hope you are doing well.
Happy that you enjoyed this. It is lovely to learn about the living conditions of other cultures and glad you did. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Dear Shimasani, thank you for your teaching!! Your an amazing teacher 💝 we appreciate your videos 🙂Hugs Beautiful Grandma 🎂🕊️🔆
Thank you so much! I feel like saying, I am back in the saddle again but now the candidates want a recount. I found that I had 241 votes here and there and the election board had tallied my entire votes saying I only had 163 votes in the entire NN. So my voters texted me and they said, "make a grievance and do a recount." Except we all together need to come up with $5K. Ugh. But I will have to have a recount if mine goes through. My voters sent me the proof and I couldn't believe it. So now its not over yet. Goodness!!! Ethel Branchh thinks she was #2 and boy is there dirt flying around about everyone or the top 5 people and they are not good. I never knew some of the things I have heard and I am going to make a video of that hearsay to ruffle some feathers tomorrow. Its naming these candidates out and telling what others are saying about them and they need to fess up. Yadilah. Well Good morning its 1:50am. Gpa took us on a drive to the mountains where we both prayed for all of you my subscribers and we wept as we prayed over all of you. We love you and praying for this crazy NN. Hugs always. Gma
Glad to see your face Grandma
LOL!!! Navajo Grandma
I’m really enjoying learning about Navajo culture & lifestyle. I just love ❤️ Native American traditions. Thank you Navajo Grandma. May Creator keep you healthy 🙏🏽🤗
I so appreciate that you do also appreciate Navajo culture and life style. I hope you continue to learn from Grandma. Hugs always. Navajo Grandma
Thank you sharing this Grandma. So beautiful. Hugs❤
You are so welcome. It is not plush, but true Mother Earth. Absolutely lovely to sleep in a hogan. The best sleep you will ever have. When I get my $264 Million, I plan to build a ranch house, plant all the yucca, Navajo Tea, veggies that are most important, along a stream of water, then build 3 hogans that I can invite you my subscribers to so you can have your experience our way. Then I would love to cook for you what we eat and you will find this so beautiful, calming and healthy. The end will have Navajo Tacos as that comes from the unhealthy government rations given to us. Our ancestors were vegan and ate extremely healthy foods, veggies, fruit and wild veggies. My Nali use to weep saying all of the goodness of earth was trampled by the ranchers and their cows and horses. It is true. When Navajos herd their sheep they know where the sacred plants and veggies are and always steer clear of these with respect. But they are now all gone. So sad. I pray your planning on a garden. Add volcanic ash and see how organically and healthy they will be. Better than fertilizers. A word for the gardeners of life. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Beautiful !
Thank you. Great video. Keep it alive.
Love your name!!! This is almost Off-Grid when you build one of these to live in out and way out there wherever way out is. Off-Grid. My dream. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Good evening my dear friend, I enjoyed your video so much about the hogan ! Those logs it is built from are so beautiful. They make for a sturdy , long lasting structure . The way of making the floor from the sandy / clay like soil into a lovely hard , durable surface is great! I hope to see some of these things when I visit you in the near future . 🙋♀️💮🏵💕
Well my dear Susan, guess what grandma didn't make it and good because guess what? This coming later part of October we shall be camping, sleeping under the stars and enjoying the learning experiences of the Navajo and Hopi culture. I am very excited and I think we all will totally enjoy this. Then we shall tie Sil up and won't let him go!!! LOL!!! Hugs. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma you know dear Navajo Grandma Frankie , I know you put so much work & effort into your platform and it's disappointing how it has turned out , but your message is still being heard even around the world 🌎 !! Oh my i can't wait until later October to come and camp, sleep under the stars and take in the beauty of your homeland! Most of all I can't wait to visit you and give you big hug!! Im hoping Sil can make it here at that time so much !! Wow it will be a dream come true !!
@@susanjones7086 I know time isn't quick enough and we best pray hard for Sil! I so pray that he arrives and all will be just perfectly wonderful. Awaiting happiness again!! Hugs to you. Navajo Grandma
Grandma this was beautiful thank you for sharing. ❤️
You are so welcome and thank you for watching and learning. Hugs from Navajo Grandma

Hi Grams, there are many old photos of my Gramps in and around Hogans. Monument Valley was his home his whole life. You spark very good memories of that glorious land. Giant hugs from Albania.
Wow I forgot that your family were around here. This is amazing again and Wow how wonderful to know this. Thank you for your excellent comments and all the way from Albania. Hugs across the waters to you!! Navajo Grandma
Love your videos. Lotta good information.
Hey thumbs up to Oklahoma Native Exploration. I love going there and I have so many subscribers there. But one thing...I hate the wind. Other than that the people are just fabulous!!! Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma 👍
I have never seen inside a hogan. I had no idea how exquisitely made they are! What type of wood are they built with? It is beautiful! Thank you for sharing! 🥰😊❤
Hi sweetheart, these wood are cedar and they are just beautiful. There is no real cedar but this is a family of the cedar tree. Aren't they gorgeous? I know that and they leave such a beautiful odor when it rains and you can breath such beauty and smell that is humbling. Just wonderful. Thank you and hope all is well with you sweetheart. Miss you and your kind compliments and sharing your life. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Ooo the energy ✨ love this place
It's pure earthen energy. Gma
I adore her
Well guess what Kate, "her" is me, Navajo Grandma. I hope you were talking about grandma. I am here and thank you for watching and learning. I so appreciate your watching and making comments. Hugs to you always. From Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma indeed it is you I speak of! Thankyou for your teaching and beautiful loving spirit.
@@katejacobsen4892 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
My moms home town. It’s cool that you have this in your channel. Last time I went there was to visit my brother the last time. Thank you. ❤
I love this place and also glad I made this video too. I felt something that I hope you brother is okay. My brother just died Sunday and I am not making videos and in the middle of planning his funeral and with family. Trying to process a sibling passing on isn't easy. Thank you for watching and hope the memories are always good. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
My brother passed away from Covid about 3 years ago. I’m so sorry to hear. My condolences to you and your family.
@@christinaleclair3306 This is the first sibling death and my elder brother heard of my brothers passing and he was in the hospital too. They had to sedate him. I went and saw him after the funeral and he just wailed. He said I can't stand it, please don't tell me anything. We sat with him and talked about anything but what we had just done. Please pray for my brother Roger. He is also not doing good. I am sure you were beside yourself having that happen to your brother too. Its still not processing in my mind and heart yet. I can't only be grateful for the time I knew him and everyone does ponder that with joy and sadness. I am home to my one bedroom and happy to sleep in my bed. Gpa and I woke up at almost 9 am. I must have been tired. Thank you for your kind words. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I will pray for you, your brother and family. Take care of yourself. Grieving can be very tough on you mind, body and soul.
@@christinaleclair3306 Thank you Christina. Its an acidic thing we do but as time passes and we serve others our service calms our hearts and comforts our thoughts. So thank you. Navajo Grandma
ya aát eéh ✌️ thank you... always good stuff to know... cultural background.. Walk in Beauty sister 🙏♾️🙏
Axhehee. Gma
Amazingly beautiful! Thank you!
Thank you too! Grandma appreciates it when I get comments like yours. It makes me smile that you learned something new and wonderful. Cultures and traditions all are different and to learn about others is a wonderful learning experience. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Nana, I pray you WIN! ❤️❤️❤️
My dear Blaze so far we had the primaries and it didn't work out for grandma. We are opting for a recount by most of the candidates. I am filing a grievance because there were not complete counts done. Dragging this forward now again. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Grams, my heart is sad because I know you would have made a big difference in many lives. The fed govt has infiltrated all Indian Nations with their money and made many Tribal Council members very rich while keeping residents of those Reservations at or near poverty levels. And I know you kmow this and want change and I'm sure that's the reason for your "count problem" they seem to have regarding the votes for you. The fed govt is evil personified and Congress does NOT do the will of the people FOR the people.
Again, if I can help, please reach out to me, I am here for you. Much love xxx
@@blaze3884 You surmised it perfectly. Now let’s move on in our lives. Pray always and let’s make happy memories. Hugs, Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Can't give up or in that easily. That's what got us in the position we are IN, and have been in. Peace Gramma, but I"m going to try and right alot of wrongs.
@@blaze3884 My dear Blaze, I honor you and your words of amazing wonder and truth!!! Go right ahead and right those wrongs and become clear and walk forward on the pollen road. Fill your life with Hozho, peace, beauty, balance and harmony. I love you. What a great example of moving forward. Hugs always from Navajo Grandma
I love it! So beautiful inside. Thank you. Hugs
It is amazing and pretty comfy. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I have stayed there. Love it feels so good 😊
This is so wonderful and you know how lovely it is. Nothing like the feel of the sacred ground and the natural beauty which permeates inside and just all that is naturally comforting. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Love your videos!
Love you too. Thank you so much. Navajo Grandma
That’s hogwash my grandmother never yelled someone get the fire! (Para phrase) I don’t know where they learned that! 😂 She was already up doing it!
What a lovely practical crafted structure! 🙏🏻 Home is where ❤ is . 🙏🏻 And from one house keep to another i delight in a clean fresh floor! I getcha! 💦🧹🪴 Much love. ❤🙏🏻🇨🇦
Home is beautiful no matter where. Thank you for your comment. Navajo Grandma
So nice! Thank you!
Thank you too! And appreciate your being receptive. Gma

Very interesting thanks for sharing. 🙌
Thanks for watching! Gma
Wow! This feels like home.
Ivy you are so cute, yes it feels like home when you really live in it. Its warm and smells lovely and clean, Talk about being close to Mother Earth, sheesh you can't get closer right? So lovely. Hugs to you. Great comment!! Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Wonderful!!!!
Thank you Rita. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thank you
You're welcome Vickie. Glad you were able to watch and learn. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I really enjoy watching & learning from your vids.
I oh so wish I could move back to Az. [the northeast corner of the state] ,
Arizona is my adopted home state & of all the places I have lived in this life, Az. felt the most like home to me. [Even though I lived in the Yuma area from 96-till I was med retired in 99] And I would do just about anything to move back too.
When there is a will there is a way. Navajo Grandma
As it always you are so knowledgeable about things and I know that it is because you actually experienced that way of life. I think that you are so blessed to have had those experiences. Thank you for explaining the Hogan and may the Creator continue to bless you and your family.
Wow, thank you for watching and appreciating like I sure did as I walked thru this Female Hogan. Love and hugs to you always. Navajo Grandma
Gorgeous wood 😊 Thank you for sharing your customs!
Thank you too! Thanks for watching and hope you have subscribed. There is more. Navajo Grandma
Wonderful as always.
Thanks again! Joyce you are sweet. Thank you for watching and learning!!! Hugs as always too!!! Navajo Grandma
Thank you Grandma. My grandmother and grandfather were Dina' I don't know why they walked away from the nation. But that was in the early 1900s. I know a little bit of my culture but I am learning a lot from you. I was born two spirited.both gender Which I've learned in our culture means a lot. We were just talking about building a Hogan. It'll be more modern but it will be female. So this is definitely nice to learn. And I thank you very much for you passing down the wisdom and knowledge of our ancestors. Thank you very much.
You are very welcome and thank you for watching and learning. Yes, this is a female hogan. My male hogan is being served up soon after some other videos are done. Great that you are building a Hogan to live in and it is so wonderful!! I pray after I get a house I can have some men help build one for grandma. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Thanks cutie
Oh Matthew, where have you been??? I thought you disappeared. Hope all is well with you. Did you eventually move?? Have a great week. Navajo Grandma
"The woman were up early" 😂💕
As I'm up at 5am tending our fire.
Some things are the same in all cultures!
In my paternal grandfather's hogan, he arose, got the fire going, washed his face, shaved, grandma mixed the dough, had the potatoes peeled and the coffe and tea were on, my oatmeal was ready to be prepared. We would walk out in the cold cool morning air in the dark, right before the sun came up. Grandma had great timing. He would start praying, it was beautiful as it was cold until he started praying blessing the 4 directions and the sun peaked over and we all felt its warmth, he prayed then blessed my Bizhi and I as we partook of the Pollen. It was beautiful. I woke up this morning in a dream that was so real at that very moment when gpa was waking up, I heard him building the fire and the sound of the wind of the fire going up thru the wood stove pipes and the sparks flying out at the top, hearing my gma mixing the dough, I swear I smelt the coffee on and the Navajo Tea always made for me, etc. Then we walked out to the dark morning and heard gpa praying as the sun crested over and the sudden feeling of warmth was so real. I was home again with gpa and gma. It was so soothing and lovely. I got up so healed and refreshed. I sure miss them and they came and visited me. Thank you for allowing me to share this. Gma
@@NavajoGrandma that is amazing! Thank you for taking me there with you, by telling me the story!💕 A very blessed time is worthy of great prayer!
I'm that person, most times up before sunrise....to me it is the most beautiful time of the day, especially when it isn't too cloudy.
I also love sunset, it's the low dim lights of twilight I really love.
@@StarDreamMemories One of my dreams is to have as many subscribers come stay in a hogan overnight and experience its wonder. How I grew up. It is warm in the winter and cool in the summer. I love what you said and it is my joy as well. My early morning is peaceful and I love it. I hear gpa snoring and it makes me giggle sometimes. I hear him snore as I go thru and answer my comments. Thank you for commenting. It does bring me such joy and learning about each of you. Axhehee. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I would love that! I hope that you will make this happen! Pray I can experience this some day!🙏💕
WOW.
Cool huh, I grew up in a place like that. It was pure home. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma beautiful!
What a wonderful idea for housing in the desert environment. Such a building is much more secure than the tents used in Saudi Arabia and other areas.
I love hearing from you and comparing and also helping us to know these things. We all haven't been where you have been thus it is interesting and wonderful to discover. Hugs to your wonderful comments always. hugs. Navajo Grandma
What a great podcast Grandma! The wood in the Hogan is beautiful! Is it a pine or cedar? Really cool structure. You look wonderful. Xoxoxo ❤️
You are so right the cedar wood is so beautiful and it is so elegant to me how it has been built. I always look at the wonder of it all and as a child I use to lay and look at the building structure and just be at awe. So beautiful and it kept us warm and protected. Thank you for watching and learning. Navajo Grandma
Thank you again for your kindness and sharing. I did not know that hogan had female, do they have male hogans? I have seen eight sided shape and 5 sided hogans. All with the east entrance. Would these be male hogans?
So happy to see you again and feel your spirit. With much respect to you, Nancy
You are always in my prayers.
Thank you for those questions. Yes, the male hogan is coming up and being served after some others. Great comment!! Hugs galore. Navajo Grandma
Ahéhee'! It is lovely to have an insight into your culture and history. I have often wondered what traditional a hogan is like inside.
Also, how did the vote on the 2nd go? I sincerely hope you won. I don't quite understand your voting system as I am from Europe. If you win this vote does that mean you are in? Sorry for not understanding how it works there 😊
Thank you for posting, and take care! 🙂👍
Well my dear one we had the vote and they said I only got 163 votes in the whole NN. Then when the chapter numbers came out there was complete discrepancies and now filing a grievance. The rest of the candidates want a hand recount. $50 per chapter and there are 110. Not all of the candidates opted for a recount. We shall see. There was a lot of discrepancies and I know this is important as we do want transparency, honesty and every good virtue that doesn't seem to exist here. Sad. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I wondered this too Grandmother.
Another lovely video and what is meant to be will surely find a way...some things as you know are blessings in disguises so if one thing does not work out for us the way we would have maybe wanted it too then there may be another opportunity waiting for us in the wings.
Corruption in politics is worldwide too so even this does not surprise me.
I'm sure Great Spirit would want better than that for you as I do.
@@NavajoGrandma Ah, I see. I am very sorry to hear that. It is such a concerning situation. Fear not, however, for as long as those who wish to pursue honesty persevere, then it shall triumph. I hope all works out for you, and all of your people.
@@luigimontybasiletti851 Well we are done and the rest is up to those who are still embezzling and mismanaging & folks now again as usual are bawling that they are in a bad way. So we can move forward they will do what they will do. Sad. Navajo Grandma
@@zeropointconsciousness Well water under the bridge. Let’s move forward. Hugs from grandma
I have been inside the hogan which is at Monument Valley and was wondering how it was organized. Thank you for explaining it ! The way you are explaining the placement of all the stones/shells makes me think a hogan represents a cross (the 4 points) with the circle symbol (the hogan itself). Is there the concept of rebirth/reincarnation in Navajo culture ? Here in Nevada there are many southern Paiute petroglyphs I see across the desert which have that symbol … a cross inside a circle. I wonder if its all related.
There is a lot of symbolism in the female and male hogans. The first hogans were built by the Holy People of turquoise, white shell, jet, and abalone shell. The round hogan is symbolic of the sun and its door faces east so that the first thing that a Navajo family sees in the morning is the rising sun, Father Sun, one of the most revered of the Navajo deities. This is only the beginning of so much. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Great! thank u for the explanations.
@@globalman2 Axhehee. Gma
I have disappeared for so long! My Covid got worse back in May and I ended up in the hospital for over 3 months. Now I'm in rehabilitation for my feet and legs. Trying to just get home. I need to catch up on your page. I have a question? Our election is in Nov. When is your election?
I have have seen so much Native art in my life and back in school. The female Hogan is the main one depicted.
Before I say election, My dear Adrienne, goodness you have been through a lot. What a beautiful picture though. That was not fun at all and we pray so hard for everyone of you subscribers and happy to hear you are doing better. Pray always and God will help you with your feet and legs. Home is so wonderful and a place of healing too. Healing hugs my dearest Adrienne. About the election we have our general election November 6th just like the rest of the US. But if we candidates have our way, we will have a re-vote due to the NN fraud we have uncovered. We shall see. Then the General election will take place probably in January or later. Insanity I tell you. The President Nez is under a Federal investigation and the 2nd runner up is up for being a pedophile..."how's that for Navajo Nation Presidential winners?" Yulk!! The Election board certified this fraudulent election. All in bed with one another. Sick. Thus this is not what you needed to hear. Sorry. So now get to healing and your rehabilitation. Praying for you sweetheart!!! Navajo Grandma
How did they keep rain from coming in the smoke hole?
Why would you do this in the rain. Think about it, do you really believe an indigenous person would build a fire in the rain without a shelter or something on top. That would go against the reason for the fire. I hope you understand. Navajo Grandma
I might have missed this, but why did the family move to the second hogan every six months with the weather change? Was one hogan better for summer and the other better for winter?
It was all seasonal wherein, the sheep are not to overgraze, or the protections for winter, the grass for sheep, horses, etc in the summer and spring, the changes in all seasons has a great effect upon the animals and foraging, etc. Just plain a plan for survival. I hope you understand. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Thank you. That explains it well.
Hey my friend! How are you? I haven't seen you for a bit. How goes the election? You still have my email address don't you? My phone ate all my information. So trying to reconnect with everyone. This was a great video! Everything you do is great, so I expect nothing less. Let me know how you are. Sending love and prayers your way! A'HO 💚
Hey you too, yes all is well. The campaign was great, had many amazing learning experiences, finding out my Navajo Nation is messed up more than I had imagined. Now I want to run from them. Blind bats is the best way to describe it. Goodness and no ears!! No heart, just pure awful seething hate. So you are a breathe of fresh air and goodness Marsha. Yes I still have your address and hope you have a home now. I did not win but now the candidates are having a recount and I filed a grievance because of the numbers they had for me were wrong. So pitiful. You would believe if these folks have such high places of employment they should be smart don't you think. They don't even know how to add. Sorry but this is so frustrating. So now I don't know where all this is going to lead the NN. The leaders chosen as one is an incumbent Nez for Prez 2.0 he calls himself cuz it would be his 2nd term. The other one Buu Nygren is what you call a pedophile. He is said to have molested a young girl who is now 12 and suffering. Hell on earth. Soo these are the two men chosen to lead our Navajo Nation. Doesn't that sound great??? I think not but this is what these Dine' people choose. Stupidity. Sorry again. They do no research, they just live on hearsay. So I best stop, I tried and I did well and I am proud of myself for putting myself out there. One of my sons said, "mom how many even do what you did and I know you love people and you have exemplified service and giving all our lives and you won as far as I am concerned you won in life." How sweet is that?? What an honor. His name is Kaleoaloha. That means the voice of love in Hawaiian. Very proud Mom. Well again it is so good to hear from you. Write and tell me about your life and whats happening girl!! I want to hear and know you are okay. You have good and sad days like us all. Love always. Eternal Hugs. Navajo Grandma
Wow! I'm learning so much from you! I've seen dwellings in Jamestowne VA but it's not Navajo. They looked similar. I've never heard there's a way to enter and exit. Oh and it's so funny that a wife can request to sleep away from her husband! I wonder what the reasons were that they'd fight, back in the day? It's hard to imagine. I think you should tell more stories about everyday life... historically speaking. And with your life. It's so hard for me to understand how you live without electric and what white men have done to your people and reservation life. Ugh. I've probably said it before tho.... when shtf, you're going to be the person who knows how to survive! (((Hugs)))
Michelle, you are right, the same looking dome house but with thatched roof and buildings. The Navajo's lived in the sandy areas, desert. What is in the desert? Sand. Thus they mixed sand, cut or broken dried grass as a mixture to build their hogans and using the timber from far away mountains. Remember when Navajo Grandma teaches you, remember the environment what did the Native Americans in their area have to use, eat and work with? That is why when smudging stuff we have talked about, the Navajo(Dine') use Juniper and their hands to smudge. That is plentiful in the reservations in the southwest. Whereas, the Plains Indians, Sioux, Lakota, etc use White Sage and they wrap their sage etc. They use the eagle feathers to smudge with. Then you go further east the Native Americans use tobacco, why because that is what they grew and used for ceremony. We all have differences, although some swear that tobacco was used in the southwest but you also need to know the Native Americans traveled and traded too. We do not use tobacco until the recent years and I do hate when Navajos say "oh this is what our ancestors used." Hogwash!!! It was because some Native American from back east showed it to them and it looked more holy or whatever you can smoke it, well then they start to use it. Wrong wrong wrong. Correct definition isn't maintained but a lot of made up whoo haw!! Anywho too much information that most do not care to learn. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I care to learn it!!!!! I was just thinking that unless I was told differently by someone who truly knew about the customs and sacred traditions, I'd believe what the Navajo people say about tobacco! I didn't even think about the regional thing! Like where WERE you going to get tobacco from.... Amazon? 😂 There's so much we don't even give a thought to and so much of ALL of our history is a lie or carelessly mistold. Thank you for this, really! I love learning but I want it to be true or it's a waste of time. You are a treasure! I wonder if your people appreciate the wealth of information your computer brain holds? Someone needs to be documenting everything you talk about!
Dark isle Piper: Siubhail (Original) Looks 😱watch Later .Hopefully?!☦️
Okay. Gma
Ah man, I look at this video and realize how much junk and clutter I have in my life. Everything so tidily arranged, and all the stuff you need is kept. I am a little envious, being a shameless packrat. XD
Well be kind to yourself, this is our way of life. It is ours. What you were taught is you and none is wrong or right. It is life. Be kind and talk kind to yourself. You just saw what we live like and use to but we also are pack rats now too living in homes unlike our ancestors or like the way Navajo Grandma grew up. It was wonderful, simple, full of peace, beauty, balance and harmony. It is called Hozho. So create Hozho in your circumstances, do not speak down to yourself, make peace with all around you and be grateful, pray always, be humble and love and serve others. There you will find peace and beauty. Happy you were able to watch this, thank you and maybe one day come down to see who we are. I promise it is not heaven, there are crazies here like out there and maybe don't come down. Drive thru and see. Make sure you have a frybread and smell the air, see the beauty. Remember you are awesome, Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I come down when I can, which is not often, and usually only make it to Page or Gallup [I need my Turquoise fix!]
I know I'm luckier than a lot to have all this stuff, and somewhere safe to put it. It's just sometimes I think maybe it's too much, just a bit, and do I really need all this stuff? :)
*Hugs!* Thank you for reminding me!
@@LaughingCrowStudio Well now, if you feel that guilty about your silver & turquoise, you can gift Navajo Grandma with what you have to ease up your guilt. I can sure help with that. Very willing!! LOL!! No guilt here. Navajo Grandma
This is just a white person's views of our traditional hogans. Would be more interesting if there were true traditional things inside and made in the original way.
Yes and it is true but it is a taste of what it looks like. Most people will not allow you to come in and film their homes. The real places. This is better than none. Thank you. Navajo Grandma
