Navajo ( Diné) Eclipse Knowledge with Albert Brent Chase

Solar eclipses are compelling astronomical events that connect us to the Sun and the Moon in powerful ways. Annular or total solar eclipses, and even partial ones, can leave lasting memories of the phenomenon as well as the people and places where we experience the celestial alignment. The 2023 annular solar eclipse will pass through Indigenous lands in the United States "four corners" region. In collaboration with Navajo (Diné) astronomers of the Indigenous Education Institute, the Exploratorium have created resources that feature solar eclipses from the Navajo worldview. Learn about the cultural significance and scientific understandings of eclipses as told by Navajo educators, astronomers, and elders.

I viewed the full solar eclipse at its height in 2017. Less than a week later I traveled to North Carolina where the eclipse energy was in its greatest intensity. I fell off my bike and shattered my elbow, injured my leg. A severe tropical storm came through which was the remnants of Hurricane Harvey and flooded that area. Now that I am aware of the sacredness of these eclipses, I will stay inside pray and meditate on April 8.

Our traditional, cultural beliefs are not a religion, it is our way of life.

[@blackthornsloe8049]

Thank you for this . Neither my husband nor i are native but we have decided to honor the time of the eclipse in this way because it just feels right to us .

[@Hybrid_Pisces]

I have so much respect for native teachings and traditions. I believe we'd all be so much better off to follow them. 🙏🧡🧡🧡

[@AM-ih7sr]

My mother was very diligent when I was expecting my first child. She will never let me go out when there was an eclipse, she will cleary say "don't put your baby in harms way" I'm old now but I still respect that.

[@bryanjuan4898]

I agree and I appreciate you sharing this information but I may have to discuss one part. We should not be holding the blame on our people for not knowing our heritage. It’s been wiped from us and we’re are still gathering the pieces of our great culture. We are all family, we need to help each other remember what is lost and hold onto it together.

[@Music.cigars.2024]

I have to say that my family has even mentioned plenty of times that the elders who actually know the true teachings won't even tell their own people the truth in fear of the people not wanting to learn or accept the truth.

[@canniaguilar3570]

@@Music.cigars.2024whatever, they are just part of a big lie but everything comes out and even if we don’t find the truth we will when we pass to the next level. I have an idea why they don’t say it because it is link to human sacrifice

I have so much admiration and respect for what you are doing because it is only through passing these stories and lessons that respect, mindfulness and try ways of ancestry can be passed down through the generations reminding people that all things are connected. Thank you for sharing your beliefs. It's super important we all remember recognize and respect ourselves, all people and all nature. Thank you again!

[@Music.cigars.2024]

Ya'at'eeh my name is Juan, my dad's father ( my grandfather) who has long passed away, was dinē/ Apache. His father was dinē and his mother was apache. I never met my great grandparents not even my grandfather. I never got the privilege of learning my own true language or meeting my blood family. My father left home way before I was even thought of. And he met my mother who is Hispanic. In Texas. So he basically left his indigenous life and didn't tell me about who I really am. I found out on my own by asking older family members relatives questions. And I got a huge amount of great information that I hope will help me find my roots. I just found all this out a few months ago and I'm already in my 30's.. I pray that I get to meet these beautiful people and the apache side also in my life time

[@cyn2612]

Wow first time i hear from a person on youtube 100% true, you are speaking the truth, there are some navajos who say you can look at the eclipses, i think they aren't navajo or traditional, like you say, they're lost, but wow mr. You have my respect for saying this much and not too much to scare ppl. Thank you, may you walk in beauty from here forward🫡

Growing up I was told about the do's and dont's in regards to the eclipse. But I didn't ever hear the full story about it. Ahe'hee for sharing the teachings and your knowledge. Also I am also born for honaghenii (sp?) and my cheii is Tabaha (sp?). How are you in relation to me by our clans? I'm curious. Thanks again. I will definitely pass this knowledge and understanding of the eclipse to my children. May the Creator continue to bless you and keep you safe. 🙏🦋

[@lavernemoreno7168]

Axheha la shi cheii, it make sense, open my thoughts, furthered my Dine Ye teachings and practices. Somehow it feel like I grieving- remembering people that passed. Yes, we have carry on their teachings, the way they spoke of life, ceremonies,prayers, offerings, so much. It is beautiful though. We are still here and sun replish with all the beautiful glory of life! What a day of teaching!!!

[@ladybirdstarseed1788]

[@Ambracita]

Hello Albert! I also agree with you and our Dine people. I actually did not know the true reason why an Eclipse was not good to be a part of. All of my friends want to go out and hang out under it. I really do not want to be around it. I always thought that I was strange. I am learning more about my Dine side as time goes on. I appreciate your video.

[@Louistso-pv1dl]

I agree that our tradition is what it is, and keep the stories alive..

I am home while my loved ones w/are not . I am hurt by this that they did not wish to listen to me. I tried to pass this to my loved ones and some of them I shared this video and the story of the frog who swallowed the moon but they still left out into the eclipse. I hurt more while I will take this day to think of my oe ones and elders and how sacred this should be held in our hearts.

Hi brother

[@user-xp4dg7nj3h]

Do you have to participate in those ceremonies my son is facing life in prison in the solar eclipse just happened and he’s in prison with all that new technology and everything this isn’t cool this isn’t OK

[@user-xp4dg7nj3h]

Is working with the medicine people something that y’all must do or is it something y’all choose to do?

[@user-xp4dg7nj3h]

It is painful right now

[@shannondawes6045]

Hi

[@user-xp4dg7nj3h]

Would you like to know what the result of all that was? I’ve been in bondage and studied and research as well as others in my family we have brought fourth medicines. I can’t even say this the times we’re in right now I know the times we’re in, but I cannot speak them. They handed us over to Russian researchers They also made a deal with someone who tried to cash out what little land we owned still they handed the papers over to someone and they implemented my grandmother into every single church all over everywhere and raised her each time it’s pretty wrong it’s really wrong what’s been done all for revenge. At least that’s how I perceive it.

[@user-xp4dg7nj3h]

[@heatherintheskywithdiamondz]

Is this teaching in regards to a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse? Sounds lunar…

[@ericmichael3643]

Dude honestly

[@leebegay9088]

I don’t think it’s not so much disrespectful, I think we as adults do not relate and retell these stories. I think we are in another world not the one we ascended to, maybe sixth or seventh world, who knows. We have so much language loss. We don’t know the consolation, the months, our extended clans, we are braiding our hair, dancing other tribes dances, we attend ceremonies in churches and teepees. If we are to keep some stories and songs we have use the today technology, we can’t just keep to ourselves. When it becomes loss we are no longer Dineh.

[@leebegay9088]

Read my reply.

[@user-xp4dg7nj3h]

in prison for this ceremony. Shouldn’t the tribal council be over this and not the jurisdiction that has benefited off of us most of our lives. I would say that the mother should be involved in such a ceremony in deciding if the child needs a coming of age ceremony, as well as when the child should receive it

[@NewMoonRapture]

The eclipse is the stone rolled away from the tomb of Christ. The Sun is symbolic for the SON, Jesus. His death, his resurrection, there was an eclipse when he was on the cross. You are part of the 12 tribes of Israel that were scattered 2000 years ago. Godbless

[@trust.no_1]

Christianity cancelled every other cultures beliefs and forced other peoples to believe in Jesus or get irrelevant.

Oh I apologize you are doing Mexican folklore. You are part nákái perhaps it b appropriate for you.
