Read the bible, that's our history. We American Indians are the tribe of Gad, from the twelve tribes of Israel. Esau is who is keeping your identity hidden from you. Read the real history books written by explorers. Not school history. That's corruption.

@@chalbinali8951 yadilá, those Mormons got you. Don't believe those lies, Jesus never came to America, your creators has always been here, diyín dine, t'ó iina, shízhé'éiliní, nahazaannadlheé, jonna'ei. Hozhóji. Bottom line. Hozhóji, not Jesus. Medicine ways will heal you not the words stripped from a book

We are not mention in the black book , Those Mormons sure brain wash some of you Dine's So call Jesus never exist on the reservation .. I believe in my medicine folks .

Amen❤❤❤

Amen❤❤❤

Being a Diné (navajo) ypur comment means a lot thank you and hopefully all our tribes will unite to defeat all the negitive energy

most medicine men have been tainted and bought to do evil. . Yenaldlooshi. or have been killed by those who worship the full moon. I kid you not. medicine men are a dying breed. most who are gifted are killed. or blackmailed to become Yenaldlooshi.

Mormons brain wash you

I feel I should follow my Traditional Dińe ways. Coming from the future, COVID-19 has come to our land, a lot of our people has fallen to it.. mostly our elders.. It woke me up from my life in the urban world, growing up in these huge cities and houses with money in my pocket.. that our people.. our traditional beliefs are going away..

NAC people are usually traditionalist too.

many navajo are taking two ways of living and putting them together ...like my mom 'cause she likes the story of jesus and medicine man way...but i like medicine man way better

If you want your tradition alive live by the bible, christianity is a man made religion, who is jesus? The word. "J" was invented util the 1600's. The white jesus is really the god of this world. Our tradition is sinning against our creator. NAC, it's close, take the idols away and you might have something. The bible is our history book that white man is deceiving you. Research our ceremonies, God is named in them, sand paintings produce our flat earth. I'll be glad open more eyes.

@@chalbinali8951 wtf lol

Two words.... COLONIZATION, GENOCIDE

Nepotism is alive on the Rez 😉👍

Colonialism is the one word that comes to mind. We suffer from identity crises. We are forgetting who we are. In this world.

Lawrence??

Wichita?

Amen Jesus ❤❤❤

Very well said.

The tribe of "Gab", Hebrew Israelites. American Indians. Research the real history yourself. Schools will never teach you the real history. Esau makes more money with his agenda.

@sCreaminOut SupremaCy yup black magic does indeed for a price that you will pay in the after life

@sCreaminOut SupremaCy nope good or bad. U are asking help from the devil which means you are drifting from Gods help. You drift away from God and to the devil it will lead to the worst consequences in the after life.

@sCreaminOut SupremaCy The angels told the men {whoever got this knowledge from them, they would have no share of the next world} You can literally purchase this world at the expense of the next. {and what an evil price they sold themselves for if they can only understood} Those who studied it became the first magicians and all magic that is existant today somehow goes back to Babylon. And there are different schools and different arts and ways within magic. {And they followed [instead] what the devils had recited during the reign of Solomon. It was not Solomon who disbelieved, but the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say, “We are a trial, so do not disbelieve [by practicing magic].” And [yet] they learn from them that by which they cause separation between a man and his wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And the people learn what harms them and does not benefit them. Whoever purchased the magic would not have in the Hereafter any share. And wretched is that for which they sold themselves, if they only knew.} (Quran 2:102) And these are God's words. I am not making this up

@sCreaminOut SupremaCy lol no im not. I was just curious about medicine men bc we were learning about them in my anthropology class and I was curious about what they meant by supernatural forces going into their body. And in the reading it said that a power that has been antagonized by disrespectful behavior towards its source may retaliate by causing the offender to become sick. "Power-caused illnesses" (kdsiti diyi' bit) are properly treated with curing ceremonials in which one or more medicine men, using chants and various items of ritual paraphernalia, attempt to neutralize the sickness-causing power with powers of their own. him. In any case, all agree that the patient is brought into intimate contact with a potent supernatural force which elevates him to a condition labeled gbdiyd' (sacred, holy). The term gddiyd' may also be translated as "potentially harmful" and, in this sense, is regularly used to describe classes of objects (including all sources of power) that are surrounded with taboos. In keeping with the semantics of g6diyd', the Western Apache explain that, besides making patients holy, power makes them potentially harmful. And it is this transformation, they explain, that is basically responsible for the cessation of verbal communica- tion during curing cerimonials. Ya so I figured that these rituals that they perform are another word for black magic. Cause thats the same process which requires calling out a supernatural force(jinn) to help you. Idk do you think these rituals are actually right and acceptable? Not my life but I hope you guys know that these spirits are definitely not good ones that you guys ask help from.

@@maryamahmad9762 someone's been reading too much of the white man's pages, if you get ur information fr books that's good n all, but don't label all ppl as Evil, it makes u sound like a cult leader. If u truly knew, well I won't waste my time convincing someone who's too one-sided, but I guess ur beliefs, philosophy, whatever is better than ours-native american tradition. Hey what do we know right. But again, u seek out native American traditional ways here on KZfaq. Who are you trying to convince, in addition, u r welcome to explore true na traditions, the good way, promise you no evil. All this na trad talk should be kept secret anyway, bcuz ppl like u point fingers and shame first, without truly understanding. We as natives should learn to shut our mouths sometimes and keep our traditions secret. Bcuz ppl like Maryam A here will never understand us or our ways.

What about concerns with non Indiana and their interaction with outside influence in today's high life casino and other issues with foreign policy and also missing and indigenous and rivalry tribes and rivalry from other cultures...if such existence

Who wants money if you can help your brother or sister. Stop the greed.

Shamayam is the word translated as heaven. This word literally means "sea of fire". Shaman means literally "oil", what happens when you give animal fat, or oil to a fire? Sha=crush, ma=liquid, na=seed Seed that is crushed to liquid. Look up Jeff A Benner, if this was interesting. He has a channel, but especially awesome, a website.

Real medicine is not a career, but a lifestyle. Real medicine does not expect money.

My dad told me medicine never charged money they would only ask you to bring something that would be used for the ceremonies, etc.

I disagree. it's not a price pay like.going to Walmart. if you got the gift then they know. your shopping for items. perhaps you should go to the hospital and work there. no disrespect. medicine will know your fake and only want personal gain. bewars!

this isnt a .membership. it's a healing.

I've seen medicine men a d women with nice cars, tvs, etc... It makes me feel idk...

Hows this hollywood?

@@jakesanchez6621 one thing id say is us navajo dont hoop dance so that an is an inaccuracy that i noticed but there is some truth like some ceremony can only be practiced during certain times of year, but i think its really just a stunt

It kind of is, the song talks about a girl that is transitioning into a woman. Then we have the ceremony for her.

Shaming another person isn't Diné either...

@@yelrahc_irot oh yes have you ever heard our telling how it is to other dine!!!

Well good thing he didn’t sing a real Navajo medicine song. I think a lot of Navajos take up other tribes songs and dances because ours is much too sacred to let it be shared with everyone.

Where would they go? To the cities? To forget their culture and take on the white's people way of life? They are trying to hold onto their culture while living in a white's man society and reality. Their values are different, to them respect for the earth and land is very important, and family and tribe. Things that we hardly do. We look at them from our perspective and see what they are lacking. But they are far richer than we, because their values hold up to time and are of a spiritual kind.

癸亥 You know nothing of our ways, customs or beliefs. You sound like a typical outsider, everything you rambled about sounds like it came from your high school text books which we all know are nothing but lies and deceit. What you speak of are the White Mans world. We First Nations , American Indians, Native Americans come from

What does Dan and Husky think????

癸亥 I agree with you. I see so much potential if they would open a free market. You can still hold on to tradition and still advance. Honestly seeing my own reservation has brought nothing but drugs, alcohol and theft. No jobs, hardly any ranchers or anything left. Just mostly people popping out babies and getting high and drunk. Having this "white man bad" mentality is ridiculous already. My father refused to work for anyone outside our race and it killed his career in silversmithing. If we really want to stick to traditions then stop blaming others for our misfortune and learn to adapt and maybe get people in government who have the same values because right now the "white man" isn't running our people into the ground its our own. Living in third world conditions has to do with the Navajo Goverment. Look at all these other tribes doing things helping out their own. Maybe get some solar plants up. Not much is being done to destroy the ground nor is there chance for any type of contamination. Maybe set up a market for ranches. So much of a market but its wasted and we are ruining ourselves.

癸亥 U posted the same response to a couple Dine videos. Lol. Stay in your lane. You are clearly on the outside looking in. Therefore, you will never understand what you are misinformed about. Please take your misery elsewhere.
