I found you on UTube and I am so glad to hear your view on Navajo Traditional ceremony with your doctoral studies and practice. I am Navajo myself and raised by grandparents, uncles and father who were medicine man. I found your presentation very interesting and I also am a sand painter.
Kia Ora😇 Our beliefs are the same. We bury our placenta, it is a source of life so back to papatuanuku - mother earth. Our mountains are sacred also. Before colonisation our medicine man - tohunga were of great importance, same level as the chief of that tribe. We are high believers in Manaakitanga - which is giving, kindness, sharing, community. One word means many things. in our healings, it is vital to remain present. We sing while the person is getting healed. As soon as we get emotional, we have invited what is being healed out and into ourselves. I tend to focus on trees or listening to my environment to remove or stop the thinking. I'm still learning, as I grew up Pakeha. Our language, our practises were beaten out of my grand parents but slowly I learn things from intuition and then find out the maori meaning to what I am doing. Which to me, means it is my tupuna - ancestors giving me insights. It is truly inspiring hearing other indigenous believes, protocols and they match up with ours. Arohanui🥰
so . I'm learning Tibetan.. and Dinehotzi... I speak several European languages... to me Tibetan and Navajo sound very similar... and Navajo would work better as a written language using the Tibetan script
She asks a few times, why the white man culture doesn't follow the Native way since the beginning....as it actually goes along with all good modern science in the end....The reason "why" the white culture, has never seen the Nature as being "Sacred", is because they never have had the same respect for it..and are motivated mainly, sadly, only by greed ...money......so , they feel "respect"....is a joke.....and not needed...and can be done away with...like mining the Earth...destroying the Earth, to find uranium , to make big money making weapons of mas destruction, to blow up the EARTH with..OR to power up power plants to run big industries with...polluting water , land, air..... etc..... But , the fact is, ..."Respect", is key, core central, to the basic understanding of living in harmony with our selves (healing) and all Nature.. ALL Life , All Creation..."All healing , starts from within.."....a quote from Rolling Thunder , Medicine Man.....RT talked a lot about the lack of respect being the main reason that is the cause for all problems in the modern world, dominated by the white man, the cause of all poverty , sickness, wars, etc, and "war" , he said, "is the worst pollution man has ever created."....He was right...
They are mixture of Caucasian, Asians and Mexicans they are not Autocthtonous indigenous American they are from the Bering Strait. The so called African American are your Autocthtomois Indigemous of this land in America
Native Americans looks very very Asian. No doubt that they have Asian ancestry from thousands of years back and first Indigenes inhabitants came through West from Asia.
@@latetodagame1892 I would like to talk about it. I am tremendous indigenous people lover & admire. Had privilege to work with few 100% native Americans and had female co-worker friend. Love them all. So much, I got badge: “Elizabeth Indian” (made for me because of this by someone who is maybe 50% related but according to story grandparents were 100% native). I wanted to specifically study Native American history in college but the classes were in the midd of the day and I was working student. Never had a chance. I think anthropologist determined that thousands of years ago the first settlers in current USA were people who came from the Asian continent through Alaska/Canada. Would love to hear from Indigenous Americans themselves the history of origin. I am fascinated with it. My childhood hero & ❤️ love was Cochise.

I'm teaching The Scalpel and the Silver Bear this year as a prelude to Silko's Ceremony. This talk has been very helpful to my students. Thank you.
I really enjoyed Dr. Lori Arviso Alvord's Lecture. It was a very interesting presentation. Thank you Dr. Alvord.
This was so moving. Thank you for sharing so much of your culture.
I truly enjoyed this presentation. I can resignate with so many of the teachings. Thank you both for sharing ☺

“Indians” ?
The term American Indian is still in use in the US.
