      I just saw your video on Peter's channel. Did you guys ever figure out how to fly as US Nationals? You don't need a Real ID to fly. Get yourselves US National passports. Not US citizen passports. They look the same, but you can do more with it!

    I enjoy the stories that you collect and share of our people, our neighbors, I guess too often that we overlook.
    I think she enjoyed that someone gave her some time.

      Agreed, we are all guilty of overlooking those who are closest to us. But we're glad you enjoyed Ella's video and I'm sure there a plenty of elders out there who don't mind someone making a stop and listening to them tell stories. Ahe' hee for your support!

    Awesome NIZHONI NIZHONI story of an elder from Greasewood , just like me visiting my parents and late mom in-law just talking all Navajo thru our weekend when we visit them. Just like my dad, she has so many memories and stories of other elders that lived there…THANKS for sharing

      Get him to come to you and hear your story. That’s what he’s looking for. I told him my spouse was retired vet and that the Navajo don’t really do anything for the young vets, they did ask to interview us but we declined.

    Wow I barely know my own language, and can speak simples words and pronounce them properly. But here the first like 2 mins I’m actually understanding her. Yeah she says some English here and there like numbers. But I’m understanding her. Aww kind of a bitter sweet story. Specially because she met her spouse who was military and they were bf and gf then became married. I wish someone could do romance movies that are real like this.
