Navajo Traditionalist in a Modern World - Tina Gray

[@D2uned]

This is a story close to home for me. My wife and I changed roles to support each other and our children while trying to get both of us through college. We had no encouragement, support, or financial help from our families. I admire Tina for what she has done and for living in both worlds. Great story Nick!

[@Spagoshi]

Tina is a very strong Dine' woman who is one of many Dine' that is resilient, compassionate and very friendly. Ahe' hee David for your nice comment

We would like to hear more about your stories on the long walk. Contact us at [e-mail] and we can make it happen. Ahe' hee

[@pattisorensen5645]

It's interesting how there are similar stories of strong women in many cultures who had a good female role model. I'm so glad you found your strength to create beauty in your life and the lives of others. Breaking generational traumas is so important. I am so surprised to learn of many Nations who have a history of violence against women.

Yes she is! Thank you for watching.

Do folks at the reservations host / welcome 🌾 those from outside for a stay? Asking for me / my parents & Summer ; my puppy 🐾 I always wanted to visit but don't know any folks who are willing to host 🌼🌻 we are in Midwest cold ❄️ currently

[@Spagoshi]

What area are you looking to stay on the rez? Once you decide on a location, reach out to a chapter house of that area and give them a call, they may know a family who is open to that. Make sure you bring cedar or tobacco as a thank you before shares stories with you and your family. It's an act of traditional generosity.

You can see enforced colonisation here in Tina Grey. Sad.

[@Spagoshi]

Where? Must be the Steelers coffee cup?

[@melvinbahe6429]

There's no tradition no more they say they do ,nope

[@Spagoshi]

Can you elaborate on this?

[@melvinbahe6429]

@@Spagoshi where in traditional or our way come being gay

[@Spagoshi]

@@melvinbahe6429 it's not so much being gay but born with the two spirits. It's been part of our history and has been told through passed down oral history that after a young child or baby loses their parents, a two spirit tribal member steps up and helps fill that void by playing both roles for the sake of the child.
