I am Dine…maybe this ceremony was created to manifest peaceful interactions with their Dine neighbors??? The people’s of the Southwest were not always best of friends. My people used to steal sheep and wives from the Mexicans and Pueblo peoples. When the Dine were forced on the Long Walk, many of the Pueblos of the Rio Grande valley did not want the Dine near their homeland because of that bad blood. However, at the best of times the people’s shared and learned from each other.
Thank you for sharing💜🫶🏼💜 This is me 👀🧐👀 trying to zoom in on the corner where my family always sits to find them, but thank you as I don’t get to go out home often so I truly miss it. Take care! 💜🫰🏼💜
No, they are not. This song and dance was probably created to honor their Navajo neighbors, which was most likely pre-European/Colonial era. For example, there are some Pueblo tribes in New Mexico that have Comanche dances that honor the Comanche tribes that used to be in the area.
@@jameszeena832 I am Navajo fool. I don't judge any native American culture at all. I love all my brothers and sisters. What's judgemental about that comment. Haha. Stay in your lane.
The interesting aspect of this dance is how much gift giving is talking place. Baskets of gifts are being sent back and fourth to the dancers and their family are stepping forward to accept the gifts.
Hello from California. Thank you for making this video for the outside world to watch. This is just a beautiful Butterfly dance. Can you please tell me a little bit about the gifts the dances get?
Greetings from California Khai Mana. I am not a Native American, but I am interested in learning a little bit about the Native American culture. Can you help me in telling me what this dance represents? Is this part of the Navajo culture or Hopi culture? Do you happen to know if the Hopi Land is open to the public for visiting again? Thank you Khai Mana for sharing your videos.
This is Hopi and we support all natives like Navajo,Great plains and yeah and I think so cause social dances are popular for this time of year until later
Thank you very much for the information. I am willing to visit the Hopi Nation someday soon and watch some of the dances if I am allowed to visit the community.
@@gamboairagto4006Hi there and GREETINGS from HOPILAND I'm from a different village called Shungopavi and what information that was given by my relative is accurate and of goodness everything we Hopi do in our ceremonies are mainly for the rain for good crops good health and prayers for all mankind and the Navajo dances along with many different types of dances like the Apache, Paiute, Supai, Comanche and other tribes are performed by our Hopi people and children and they are also performed as a sign of peace between all the tribes and to bring everyone together in peace love and harmony throughout the whole world. So yes there is a lot to learn from each race of people who also come visit our homeland and our dances and yes the reservation is open to the public now but just be careful as COVID is still around. MAY THE GREAT SPIRIT BE WITH YOU ALWAYS MY FRIEND
