  • Where the highway ends and Dine' Bikeyah traditions continue. We sit down Linda Simonson and listen to her stories of growing up in Hardrock, Arizona and the teachings that are passed down to the younger generation. We also met up with Marshall Johnson who grew up riding horses, competing in rodeos and shares his knowledge of the region. There is more to the mesas and high desert landscape than people know. Join us with more great storytelling from our relatives in the Black Mesa area.

      @@Spagoshi I went to high school with Marshal. He was a couple years younger. I knew from way back in elementary that he was from the Salt clan. My older siblings knew his older brother and sister from school.
      A couple years back my family and cousins put on a Salt Clan gathering and invited people from all over the reservation and many came from all over. During the gathering they told their stories of their maternal lineages even as far back as the long walk to see how we were connected. It turns out we had the same grandmother four generations back named Asdzaan Dimaas. It was great to hear the stories that day and I think someone there started to map out a family tree.

    Your stories are beautiful. Stay blessed. Im 100% Navajo. My family history goes back to 1580. Our family's written history starts in Seboyeta, NM, when the Spanish Fransican priests documented their travel near Mt Taylor. Through much struggle with the Spanish governors, with land grants, Spanish settlements, and non conversion to Catholicism, my ancestors were forced to move to present day Tohajiilee,NM in 1750. Reference: Wikipedia, Seboyeta Navajos, Seboyeta, NM. Catholic libraries archived in Mexico City, 1580. I posted 2 DNA results on RUclips, Patterson Platero. Interestingly, no Asian or Siberian connections.

    Osiyo on the Dark Side of the Moon!
    One White Brother here of mixed heritage. What one white? The one who one. OB1. Pick another color! Gosh darn golly he must of jumped right off the screen! While that may be funny to you what I’m about to say is quite real…
    “Our conversation with the Federal Gov. to Free Native American Political Prisoner Leonard Peltier who’s been falsely imprisoned going on half a century and to honor the Indian Treaties (pre-constitutional law) forming the basis of our great nation was almost entirely redacted on national TV shortly before the insurrection because it demanded that the then President also relinquish the nuclear codes which has never been done.
    Oct. 2020 I spoke with at least around a dozen federal agents including the FBI and even the US Navy. Trump says before being elected, “We have nuclear weapons so why can’t we use them?” Nancy Pelosi confirmed to our international audience on national TV that indeed they where removing the nuclear codes with the help of the CIA and if anyone has any questions they could just call up and ask. What followed only confirms nuclear tensions where about to explode. The redaction is worth at the minimum trillion$ more than all moneys because with nuclear war lights out! Nothing! This simultaneously addressed the other largest nuclear power and all the rest without having to address any of them directly except our own.”
    This is a true story. If you alike what you see please support the Peacekeeper. Please allow me to retire and pass the torch. I should not need to utter another word. What was done never needs to be repeated. The whole story must be told with or without the redaction so what happened in Japan never happens again. The hardest work is finished and far too much already been sacrificed. We’re much too close to loosing everything. The freedom of all unjustly incarcerated sets the precedence both on the national and international scale for human rights violations leading us into this mess. If we cannot connect the bigger picture to what is happening on the human scale we’ll loose everything within the next century including the environment. “We inherit the earth from the future generations.”
    Thank You!
    Your Peacekeeper and friend
    P.S. There’ve been many like Christ or the Buddha but Krishna is a thief. Best to be, “Wanted” in Hopi Tribal Court for stealing all of space-time. During the proceedings the Peacekeeper will demonstrate just by being seen the supernatural.
    Know me (No-me). You know like, “Menominee.” “Brian” means King. Some say I’m all, “Ram.” Indeed 100% Ram (pronounced “wrong”).

    This is interesting I believe your bloodline tells you who you really are as for as taken a DNA test. The story about the Berring sea is possible for some but also originating from where you are being from the US is possible as well. I believe many tribes were split up so some can and migrated. Into different areas. Do a research on your blood dna and see where your bloodline is most present being in the US, Canada, South Asia, Alaska, and Africa. That will tell you where your people roam or migrated from. Everyone has their own history and the Dine tribe was scattered out like other tribes... Its just a suggestion because if you're bloodline is "A" meaning your own blood is "A" the study shows all "A"s are the original bloodline which you will find in Canada or US .A bloodline thats been here from time in memorial its the beginning... however if your bloodline is "B" or "B positive" your offsprings is most present in the Asia country and Ivory Coast, Thailand and Vietnam, Laos and Kenya. So their was a mixture of race in order to produce a different bloodline. I don't know what bloodline is Dine tribe but you see where um going with this ... Those people who has those bloodline I mentioned their ancestors had to migrate from one of those places or had started a family with one of those people who originated from those places. 🤔
