I never had one, either. Grew up in Christianity. I had my first daughter last year and another baby girl who will be coming in 9 weeks. I would love for both of my daughters to have a ceremony.

Thank you so very much for sharing this most beautiful and sacred moment it brought tears in my eyes feeling your longing,and pain and love and immense joy and gratitude for your life and family. I myself could feel the longing and pain as you spoke of your past and leaving the rez and families. I was taken far away from my families when I was very little and I still don’t know any about my families I have an tribal enrollment card and a shawl but this is all I have had since I was taken away. I am older now but I’ve always wanted to know about either sides of my families. I wished that I had some kinds of traditions and stories to teach my children so I feel that you are a very very blessed sister. You have a beautiful and blessed life. Bless you dear sister 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🥰😊🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

I never had one either, neither my two older sisters. My parents couldn’t afford it, plus, my family never lived on the reservation. We lived in town. It would have been nice to have had one. This way I could do it for my six granddaughters. Wouldn’t it be funny seeing blond blue-eyed girls performing this ceremony?

Im 58y, Navajo. In my youth, Navajo boy's ceremony had sweat lodge and yucca whip, no female. Songs and prayers. More spiritual in nature than physical needs like food, endurance, and healing the physical as in the kinaalda.
