Beautiful video Mahalo I was raised in Gallup….been in Hawaii a long time now

[@QuailCanyonAnthropolgy]

Had tears of joy the whole time I watched and listened. Such a dense spiritual content for this platform. Thanks for the work in creating this, and thank you for sharing it with us! Many blessings to all that read this comment! As a member of the N.A.C. by blood and by law, I approve this message! I am a half breed that grew up on the rez. The most educational part of my childhood! LOL!

I was sadden yesterday when I heard the Navajo of Arizona we're suffering with the Coronavirus. I pray they recover.

[@chalbinali8951]

Thinking about it, it's been in the plans for awhile. Why are they given obesity causing food, why were the uranium mines left open, to cause underlined conditions to the people and bring in covid that eliminates people with that conditions. Act stupid when introduced, like never tested products on humans. Reduce population to 500 millions, Satan's tricks.

[@magicpug1017]

I'm feeling really homesick right now, and this made it so much better. Thank you

[@jay-peephillips2349]

Well done Noelle this is a beautiful production touching on all the aspects of Navajo.

[@delishme2]

[@charleshorowitzphd]

Noelle thank you, thank you and thank you! I'm working with a Navajo man, trying to help him, and your beautiful video helped me to understand and touched me to tears.

[@YABOYCLETUS]

thank you for creating this video🤘

[@mtnmandeluxe5429]

Young woman of the Dine people, I tell you that im honored that you shared your view and your journey with me and us all. And i tell you this as an older white man.

4:03 entrance to The Backrooms💀💀💀💀

[@Nalu3-0]

People are starting to awaken and re learn about the native peoples of the world who have so much real knowledge for human survival and beauty. How do you combine both ‚worlds’ in your daily life? 🤗🌸 Your Songs and environment have so much life energy and beauty, when I compare it to where we live in Germany where everything like our nature is changed by people, it’s hard to feel the natural beauty. Anyway, hoping you will make another video.😊

[@louisdelmar6853]

Beautifully told!

[@viccispider4667]

Beautiful👍👍🙏great job 😃i enjoyed your voice true dine woman👏✌😃

[@roberttrout3588]

Very well done Noelle🙏 thank you for sharing this glimpse into what it is to grow up Navajo 🙏👍 I spent a year about 1985 ish working with several Navajo men in Aneth. We installed a pipeline, and they taught me many things that remain dear in my heart today 🙏 though I live a long ways away, I treasure these memories and hope to reconnect with some of these men to share what our lives have been these past 36 years. Thank you again, you are a blessing to many.

4:03 wow. There’s only been 1 time I’ve ever seen a ghost, and it looks exactly like this. That’s not a sun reflection, if it was, it would’ve moved with the camera lens. They caught something they didn’t mean to catch. Is no one noticing this?

[@scottharwell692]

i think that was a lens flair. Still it was nice.

[@cybersurfer3d837]

Scott harwell ya, I’ve lens flair before but, this just looks and seems different. Idk how to explain it, it very well could be but I have a feeling it’s not. That’s just me tho lol I’m probably just trippin

[@totsmini3105]

Truly BEAUTIFUL music and video! ~ Keep safe :):)

[@amadaacunia8613]

I can't wait to return to the rez., i love to hear the language, I miss the food, and going to Window Rock Fair. I miss butching sheep. I have no idea what has changed.

Nice video. The group singing sounds just like one that came to Stanford University two years ago. The announcer called them southern style.

[@alnear4953]

Awesome video and story.. I thought the crow hop song sounds familiar.. Northern Cree is our area..! God bless the Navajo and Arizona ! Keep the traditions going..!

[@newsforteens1265]

[@iz9941]

[@mazey2896]

This is soooo beautiful. Im doing an essay on cultural differences, in a way, our cultures are alike. Just like you, we believe in spiritual guides and earth people traditions.

[@QuailCanyonAnthropolgy]

What is your culture?🤔 Do they use Peyote in their ceremonies? Been a year since this post, but I would really like to know.

[@mazey2896]

Tryna reference this in my essay lol

[@heathert5455]

My grandfather was 1 st nation Ojibway of the Swan Creek Black River tribe and he was a survivor of the Indian school. He had crooked fingers from them being broken repeatedly by his teachers because he refused to write in English. His sisters were raped during their time in the school and, from the sounds of it, I have a suspicion that grandpa was also sexually assaulted during his time there. After he got old enough to leave the school, he left the reservation a integrated into the non-native community and eventually met and married my grandma who was the daughter of Danish immigrants. I was told that he adopted her into the tribe prior to marrying her. From my understanding, my grandpa was the rightful Cheif of the tribe and we are directly decended from the great turtle. Anyways, grandpa never taught his children or his grandchildren any of the Ojibway traditions or customs or language. Other than his name, on the rare occasion, he would not write anything down and would either have grandma or their children write things down for him. I think understand why grandpa never taught us anything... because he did not want anything to happen to us. I think that is also why he left the reservation and married my grandma... because he did not want any of his children to be taken away from him and put in that Indian School. I was told that his mother was also a survivor of the school. After grandpa died, my uncle was able to use grandpa's information and trace his lineage back to the tribe. He got in contact with the tribe and spoke with the elders. He is still figuring things out and putting the pieces together, but during that time he has become a vital part of the tribe and has devoted his time and heart to helping them out. I think that he said that he has earned 6 or 7 feathers already and, from what I understand, they want him to be chief once the tribe is re-recognized Federally. Our tribe lost Federal Recognition a few decades ago and I do not remember the reason why...I'd have to call my uncle and ask him about it again. Anyways, I'll quit rambling! I loved your video and you live in a beautiful place, it reminds me of the grand canyon oddly enough, and I find it wonderful that you were able to learn about and participate in your traditions and speak your language.

[@TheRockangel1995]

I want to learn more

[@wilfordcuty2391]

You and

[@yousaid4026]

Beautiful video, thanks for sharing. The only part I disliked is when you said a medicine man was present when you were washed and dressed for your ceremony. :/ I hope during this part of the tradition the medicine man gives prepubescent girls privacy and doesn’t literally look at them...

[@marianpayne3476]

THIS only goes to show you are a strong peope, i am very sorry what the white man has done.

[@leefrancis4565]

Remember Indian who tried the White People off land that wasn't yours

[@jocboii793]

Lot of navajos becoming drunks and doing drugs..kids now days watch to much mtv and bet tv...they try to act like they gangster... very few make it cus it gets the best of them...the parents are the back bone...raise them right and everything should be good...stick with the books kids always keep learning. Keep changing the world in a positive way!

[@foxhound9285]

Family is our strength. This is known and is why it's being destroyed. Language, identity, family, and spirituality. In this corrupt world we live in, it is not our time to shine, not yet.

Corona ist shit 🤣🤣

[@Mark-ej4uf]

Said you were washed by other women with a medicine man present. You shouldnt tell this to your audience, it has no familiarity with that medicine man. So, was found abusive. Still, I dont truly get whats going wrong on Navajo Nation.

[@noellejohn681]

This is my story and experience, and if it's not for you, that is fine. But to allude to something to be wrong with the navajo nation and assume my experience is "abusive" is not the take that you think it is.
