  • Members of the Navajo Nation will not be looking at the solar eclipse today. In Navajo culture, an eclipse is about solemnity - not spectacle.

    It's just being humble to one of the holy people that brings warmth and life to our mother earth.

    This is in-line with Hindu tradition. The eclipse is a time for prayer , meditation and offering obligations to ancestors. Hindus also are advised not to eat or drink during this period. Temples are closed during this time as well.🙏

    As a Navajo tribal member, I prefer astronomy advice from
    Neil deGrasse Tyson

      😂 the guy is not to be trusted he thinks everything was black. Even actual scientists agree not to look at the eclipse with the naked eye it may not effect you now but later down the road and I highly doubt you're Dine'.

      Yes, Neil degrass Tyson doesn't know about the cosmic events. Ask a NASA scientist even they say looking at the eclipse is bad for the eyes

    So WHY is the view of the solar eclipse avoided by the navajo nation?

      It’s quite interesting that while millions of people watch and have watched eclipses many years without adverse effects, the parson that responded to you says he got sick because he ate. Psychosomatic maybe? I lived most of my young life in Mexico and in school we saw the eclipses as class activities. The builders of pyramids in the different cultures in Mexico had an advanced knowledge of the sky and used that knowledge to know when to plant crops. Since they were not nomads they depended on having good crops to sustain their very large populations. They incorporated their knowledge when building their pyramids even. In the pyramid of Kukulkán in Chichenitza, the steps of that pyramid were designed so that every equinox the sun of the late afternoon creates the ilusión of a snake creeping down the North staircase. I recommend watching a RUclips video of that event. Unless, of course, you believe you’ll get sick by watching that.

    LOL, a federal lawsuit should be filed over that. You can't close a national park for 1 particular group of people, it doesn't work that way.
