Arizona and Tibet happen to be geographically positioned on opposite sides of the earth. The Hopi word for sun is the Tibetian word for moon, and the Tibetian word for sun is the Hopi word for moon. Both cultures claim (independent of one another) that their practices keep the Earth from falling out of balance and into calamity. ... May your own work keep the Earth from falling out of balance and into calamity.
This song is very similar to a diné song during the yeibichei ceremony. It also includes the jester feeling and everyone laughs in the hogan. Very beautiful dance perhaps we share songs with our hopi brothers 💜
I didn't think filming these events were allowed?..but thanks. my world just got better. In that I saw this. I just hope posting this film has not crossed a tabboo.
When they dance between the men and their partners, they’ve acting jealous. Their female partner is no good! So they’re protecting their loved one. These ladies come from their father’s clan. No one is good enough for their favorite grandchild! And the aunties give them gifts during the dancing. They show their support. So, to be really active in their dances and ceremonies, you really do need two clans! Your mother and father’s sides. If a non Indian marries in, it’s hard on the child. You carry your mother’s clan. A girl can carry it on. But if the child only has a father’s clan, only so much that child can do. It’s kind of similar over at Navajo, Laguna and Cochiti. That’s how they talked to us when we were younger. I don’t know if they really emphasize that anymore. But, you see, once you understand how people are related there, you can understand a lot of what is going on. You really do need to be actively involved to get support from your relatives. If a lot of your aunties get between you and your dance partner, you don’t have to worry about who’s cooking for your wedding!
