Navajo Teachings About Male and Female 

You could do a channel and interview the elders!😊

Great idea.. 👍👍

I love that idea!

Please let us know if you decide to start a channel 😊

The cure to ignorance isn't knowledge, it's wisdom. There's so many people filled with knowledge but lacking in wisdom. What's the difference, right? Knowledge can come from a book, but wisdom can only come from experience.

Awe.. thank you.

@@wallypizza323 dang so white you gotta pretend your him.....gross

@@MiaEZ yea.. I'm pretending to be him. I got videos of me pretending to be Navajo and everything. What's gross is your racist attitude.

@@MiaEZ though what i would like to know is, what does "white" have to do with this? they could be anyone.

@@MiaEZ so white ??? So racist you have to say something nonsensical 🤣

Freedom is superb

Best of everything for you and your loved-ones

So happy for you to have returned to your roots and can have the fellowship of bloodline. Shalom Aleichem ✡️

Welcome home.

Please teach others, learn your native language protect your culture please.

Thank you so much for explaining this part, I was curious. That’s beautiful 😊

@Blythe Spirit They said nothing of politics, pls project in the appropriate ranges at least

@Blythe Spirit agreed.... so many want to believe the perverted ideas of leftism regarding gender. Like the schizophrenic who doesnt believe he is ill.

@@anonymousmeee8604 but Samoan came before leftism?

@Blythe Spirit go back to the cesspool you crawled out of

Agreed!

i'm a rock.

Our present day modern society doesn't recognize this at all.

@@margaritakleinman5701 No they don't. In fact, modern day society is trying to portray having feelings of the opposite as being exactly the same as someone who doesn't, instead of honouring them separately. Just look at transgender women competing in the female category in the Olympics for an example.

I love the comments in this thread, it really restores my hopes for humanity. I am male to female trans btw and have experienced more hate for me than acceptance and respect, so I appreciate your kind regards. Thanks. P.S I also hope that the haters pass this wonderful comment thread by. ✌🥰👍🇦🇺

They're gay, so what it's 2021 and is not unique at all anymore.

@QueerAssTiefling ✌🥰👍❤🇦🇺

And i love your teachings to learn of your culture is very wonderful thank you so much

U mean history like people are destroying? We only learn by history...

and current confused generations.

Agreed 🙏💚 it saddens me that people are teaching that being inspired by other cultures is “appropriation” or exploitation. I feel so blessed to be able to learn about different cultures and their experiences. Plus if you believe in reincarnation we could all have been various races/cultures in past lives. It’s just a space suit to get us from one dimension to another

@@thecommonsensecapricorn appropriation is not when someone sincerely and purely learns from other cultures. Appropriation is taking from other cultures in bad faith...to profit, exploit and claim as ones own or to bolster your image and disregard and deny where it came from . This can occur systemically or individually. When someone from outside a culture is pure in intention, the people of that culture will accept their interest in learning. When the intent is impure, they will be called out.

Nope. Nobody wants to hear your woke blathering.

@@illex759 decent people are tired of the likes of you. Why spread rudeness and meanness? Just keep your rude remarks to yourself and move on by. This does not make the world a better place including your part of the world.

Fern you can't speak an original sentence. Ideological possession is a serious disease plaguing humanity. You all sound the same. It's regrettable, and the silent majority, including many native Americans, have grown tired of you. Don't kid yourself; you're the new annoying southern Baptist nosy neighbor.

I was just thinking the same thing

Totally agree.

Can you please exsplai n thank you

Yes of course it's energetic. Male energy and female energy.

@@backofthedime9445 Yes you are so right in everything you said, thank you for your words. And I know what you mean about Blessed Mother, you can feel her energy around those who have devotion to her, whether male or female.

@@backofthedime9445 What a beautiful story, thank you so much for sharing that. I am very interested in the subject of the appearances of Blessed Mother throughout the world, and the messages she gives. I hadn't heard about her appearances in California City though, and I live in California (near L.A.)! Also I speak Spanish. Do you know if there's any website or other source of information about these appearances? I would love to know more about them. I have also had some amazing and beautiful experiences of Blessed Mother's presence, so I know how wonderful it is. I'm very happy to know she's been appearing somewhere close by and would love to know more. Thanks again for sharing, blessings to you!

@@backofthedime9445 Thanks for your reply and good wishes:) I grew up in the Culver City/Santa Monica area, not that far from the South Bay where you grew up. Lived for awhile in Arizona and had many Native American friends, so I'm somewhat familiar with Navajo culture and was happy to find this YT channel. Live in Long Beach area now. I will try to find out more about the appearances of Blessed Mother that you described, and once again thank you for sharing your beautiful story. Many blessings to you! M.

You put into words exactly what I was thinking! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.

.my culture dont have 2 spirits its considered a bad thing... they didnt have a word for gay back then so they say special

Two spirits is still either a male or a female as he says. It has been twisted by modern western culture. It was a person who understood or inclinations of the other sex but was always considered male or female. How it has been stolen and misrepresented by modern people to push their own modern non binary gender agenda which is actually the exact opposite of the original meaning, is actually tragic and a real disservice to the original concept.

2 spirits was probably naturally born Hermaphrodites, there are more than two sexes.

@@timd524 Two-spirit is a modern umbrella term made by Native American/First Nations people to replace "berdache" which was an anthropological term (describing any person in "non-traditional" gender roles) and distance from the terms gay, lesbian, and trans, as they were considered offensive colonial projections. It is not culture-specific and different societies have different perspectives on gender, indigenous people are not a monolith. Two-spirit itself has been criticized for being as much a term of erasure as that which it was made to replace, leading to this whole interaction here. It was coined by one group in the 90s, so it's as much a recent invention as it is not universal. It's also important to note that it is about traditional and ceremonial roles and has little to do with sexuality or gender expression. Using yet another traditional culture to bash trans people and homosexuals isn't some enlightened take and romanticizing "savage wisdom" is hella racist.

yep. I feel that constantly and it was affirming to hear him mention.

And definitely important to pay attention to our senses .. 1st instincts about something.

Yes, we even give our vehicles and appliances male or female names.

@@jennyhohmann4384 that's true. i always say my car is a female

@@jennyhohmann4384 and hardware and plumbing!

Yes there is always something more than what is seen.

I thought numbers had genders when I was very young. Guess I was right.

I had that too quite strongly when I was a child, it helps to understand and form the world around us. But as I grew older and busier with the mundane things in life that "sense" was also somewhat forgotten for the most part. Sometimes when I'm somewhere strange or completely at ease with the world it might come back to me briefly. I hope to have that again permanently. But it's interesting as children totally unspoilt by materialism we are so in tune with nature and intuition without even realising, great to know other people also had that power.

I have some not-so-surprising news. You are actually, crazy! 😂

@@GrievingForGrace 9 was the only female among the odd numbers (a tomboy for sure), 0 was the only male even number (a refined, polite fellow).

Equality is nothing more than a concept made up by those weaker than those who are strong. There will always be somebody better than you, more successful and far better off emotionally and financially. Just as you will always be above somebody else in the world.

@@Saved-by-Grace Equal in intrinsic value and purpose. Has nothing whatever to do with social status.

@@Saved-by-Grace You're fully submerged in the social conditioning and generational mind programming of the so-called "modern man". I hope you'll manage to reclaim your sovereignty and sense of self. You're not just a pawn in a game of perpetual economic growth.

@@Saved-by-Grace Competition is not an intrinsic desire. We can be satisfied with what we have.

@@Saved-by-Grace That line of thought is true but it’s irrelevant. The only way to achieve perfect equality between everyone is for everyone to be a clone who does the exact same thing. Nobody’s trying to achieve that What people want is for nobody to be considered inherently unworthy of opportunities to become successful that other people are afforded.

Very interesting and enlightening, thanks for sharing.

@@margaritakleinman5701 u white! Why are u teaching falsehood in others culture?

@@freegamepodcast1Excuse me, but I am not "teaching falsehood in other's culture". I am not "teaching" anything at all. All I said was that the above comment was interesting, that's all.

@@freegamepodcast1 I don't think it's a falsehood - I checked it out, and it appears from looking at other online sources to be correct.

As someone who is the same as you are in that aspect I want to learn more about the Navajo.

Xan Bell, you'll find yourself & your history in the wonderful documentary called "Two Spirits," the life of Fred Martinez. This film does a deep dive into 3rd & 4th gendered "special people" & our history in the Americas.

What a lovely saying, I have written it down and pinned it on a mirror.

I totally agree with Bathsheba B that's an awesome comment. Well said. I've also taken a screenshot. ✌🥰👍🇦🇺❤❤❤❤ Edit; for what it's worth I've subscribed to your channel.

Navajo code talkers are very proud of their military history, they were key in winning WW2! People should show respect to the elders for risking their lives and the sacrifices they made! Wisdom from the wise, God created us male and female and nature is also separated in this way!

Thank you. Nature doesn't care about our silly human binaries. Anyone who wants to know how complicated sex and reproduction can get outside of the animal kingdom should look no further than fungi. Literally hundreds of sex combinations. -This is no commentary of the speaker's culture and this topic, btw. Just because I'm a western queer doesn't mean that I can't listen to another perspective... especially since my own ancestral people would likely throw me out for being who I am.

@@antifagoat6591 It's not the fungi that have literally hundreds of sex combinations. You are probably thinking of myxogastrians, which are more closely related to lobose amoeba than to fungi.

@@antifagoat6591 I am not completely sure that these teachings necessarily exclude LGBTQIA+ people. At first I thought they totally did, but listened to the end. When he got to the part about men who understand the female aspect, and women who understand the male, and that they’re special people, I took that as an opening for acceptance and understanding of the LGBTQIA+ people of the world. Of course I could be wrong, but here’s hoping. I’m also not a member of that community, so my perspective may be lacking.

@@gido9467 Having feminine qualities does not make you less of a man, having masculine qualities dois not make you less of a woman, it's so crazy to me how much backwards we've gone over the past few years, when we were trying to get rid of the stigmas and stereotypes, to now if you are either of those two you *must* be trans, while at the same time denying the existence of feminine and masculine traits, it's completely nonsensical.

@@AlquimistEd I’m sorry; I don’t really understand what you’re trying to say. I agree that having feminine traits doesn’t make you less of a man, and having masculine traits doesn’t make you less of a woman. If I am a man, but have traits that have been traditionally associated with women, then by definition they must not be exclusively feminine traits, and vice versa. Traits, clothes, interests, etc. all seem to just be a grab bag anybody can choose from, regardless of gender or sex. The people who would deny this are willfully ignoring the reality that’s right in front of them. Edit: I think my confusion came from the feeling that you were saying that I personally felt that having one trait or another could make someone more or less masculine. What I said was that I think the Navajo teachings as described in the video leave room for acceptance of lesbian, gay, trans, queer, intersex, asexual, and others who are not cisgender, heterosexual, etc.

We learned plants are male or female in science class. 8th grade. Geeze. Science class. Biology books. Our schools aren't teaching anymore.

Me too.

Why haven’t you spoken with your family? I hope it is something that will be healed in due time 💫

My adopted parents are the same way twords my brother. When he came out my mom called me and asked if I knew, I said yes, how did she not know! Told her to look back at our pics from when they 1st adopted us, and growing up. I asked if she noticed that when we played dress up my brother was always dressed as a girl. Not because we dressed him that way, but he wanted to dress that way. I said that ever since I was kid my 2 brothers and I knew he was that way. We had never thought he was different. My adopted parents are white. My brothers and I are Dakotah Sioux.

@@jeanniebosch3628 your sister is a special soul and gift to this world. I’m so sorry your parents adopted children without having the intention to love them no matter what as they individual people they are, and also introduce you both to your Sioux culture. I wish I could’ve given them a talking to. I’m sending you love and hope the best for you and your sister 🖤

@@RoaringMind flip 1980ful & myself, another LGBTQ person, are referring to our ignorant & hate-harboring family members who reject us. ** Traditional Dine', on the other hand, knew how gifted & special we were/are, they wouldn't dream of throwing us away like way too many disrespectful modern families do.

​@@kriskabinBut they wouldn't want you to deconstruct the role of the female.

I wasn't sure what I was going to get going into this (why I avoided watching so for so long), I was expecting the worst while hoping for the best. I'm glad I didn't get the puritan-based narrative I've come to expect (there's too much shame and invalidation), but instead a beautiful message

Often times, those THUMBS DOWN are made by anti-Native people trolling RU-vid and other sites. White supremacy punk bs. Ignore it !!! THUMBS UP peeps

I know it hurts but try not to let that stop you, your culture is amazing, look up books, find elders to talk to, you got this!

@@HunterLvyiXIII ❤️

Thank you guys for understanding and the kind words 🥰 you inspire me to learn more about my ancestors and I hope that this journey I'm on will bring me closer to a peaceful life

Ooh, that sounds super interesting! It sucks that you got shut down like that though. I'm personally here because I love learning about other cultures and beliefs- I want to be a historian or anthropologist.

I’m almost in the same kind of boat like you, but I never went to the tribe that ancestors came from. Mainly because I live like 2 states away from it and I have no money to go there, but also out of the fear of rejection. I’m also “white skin” from what people like to call it. I would like to some day go up their and learn more about the tribe. Though I probably never will because of the fear of my skin color. I understand why Native Americans are mad at the “white skin” people from the past, but that doesn’t give them the right to be mean to the present “white skin” people, unless they are being racist then I perfectly understand. I have come from first hand experience. Let’s just say me and my family had to stay on a reservation with my grandmother because we had nowhere to live and my grandmother was kind enough to let us live with her until we got back on our feet. And let’s say they didn’t like us one bit just because of the color of our skin. At the time I never understand why they picked on us because I was only a kid back then. But as I got older I understand why they picked on us, but still didn’t give them any right to pick on our family just because of our skin color. I never would of done that to them. But I guess things happen for a reason, I suppose. So now if I am ever near a Native American person or even driving in a tribe. I just always feel guilty and severely nervous. Like they are going to do something to me. But I know they won’t, but thoughts like that always go threw my head like that, I’m also not blaming them for that for the way I feel. It’s just how my emotions react, and it also doesn’t help I easily paranoid and have high level anxiety. Sorry for the long comment, I just needed to get this off my chest. If you are reading this thank you for time. Have a wonderful day or night!!☀️🌕

All truth comes from the same source.

Native Americans are long past decendants of Russians. They crossed over the bearing straights to North America from Russia. Maybe those teaching are that old.

As well as the existence of hermaphroditic plants that produce both seed and flower. 👍

And while female worker bees are infertile, they’re still considered female because they carry the same DNA as the queen. They simply never received the royal treatment. Drones on the other hand only have one thing on their mind.

So true!

Sun is male, Moon is female.

@@Thyalwaysseek That's interesting how divided people are when labeling sun and moon as feminine or masculine. In German, the moon is male and the sun is female, while in Spanish the opposite is true. What does stay consistent is the fact that sun and moon are a pair, and for some reason we see them like opposites.

@@wege8409 I have studied cross culture Mythology, Theology, Esoteric Knowledge and the Sacred Sciences for the past decade and they all connect the Sun with male and the Moon with female.

@@Thyalwaysseek The Lithuanians, the Latvians, the Finns, the Cherokee and in Germanic mythology there have been references to sun goddesses. You're right though, according to Wikipedia it does tend toward sun gods and moon goddesses.

@@wege8409 Yes I know there are a few exceptions to the rule but I do think this is due to a misinterpretation of the Eddas and Myths. The large majority of cultures and the Esoteric Teachings have the Sun as male and Moon as female. This is not just random it's because the Sun relates to attributes of the male (physical strength, vitality) and the Moon relates to attributes of the female (emotional, cycles of fertility).

Cause they ain’t feminist

Because thats how things should be from the start. Earthly people understand, that being in balance, you need masculine and feminine energy to be equal and in sync. Not separeted.

@Sharkie I agree with you 💯

Where did he mention lgbtqia???

Ricki Hosein He spoke of men that understood and felt as women, and women who understood and felt as men. He spoke of them being special and it being considered a gift. I'm sure you heard the same thing I did, though you may have interpreted differently. Before "Christianity" began to infect Native America tribes, gays and lesbians were revered. This was because they believed they embodied the two spirits, both male and female.

Very interesting. Can those words be translated to English?

@@margaritakleinman5701 Asdzáán and Hastíín are equivalent to cis women and men. The Nádlee and the Dilbaa, are trans women and men; they are specifically the Changing Ones in Diné oral history. More than 150 distinct First Nations all across the North and Southern continents historically recognized gender diverse and intersex bodies in various ways for untold millennia, until the brutal invasion of missionaries and other colonizers in 1492 onwards. Nowadays in intertribal relations, they are collectively honored as their Two-Spirit relatives. The Diné people are among those respective First Nation for they have the Nádlee and Dilbaa in their mother tongue. In fact, there was Hastiin Klah (1867-1937) who was a Nádlee. Hastiin Klah was renowned for their knowledge in the traditional craft of weaving and for creating a unique sandpainting technique that is still practiced today by many Diné artisans.

@@BaraJFDA Thank you so much for all this information, it is so interesting and valuable. I used to live in Arizona, had Dine friends and became familiar with some of the culture, but had never heard about Nadlee and Dilbaa. Would Nadlee be equivalent to trans woman, and Dilbaa the trans man? It's so interesting that in these native cultures, such people are esteemed and valued, whereas our modern society doesn't try to understand them and sees them in a negative way. Thanks again for your reply.

People like to say that trans people are a new trend in their arguments, but things like this prove that we've been around for centuries. It's great to learn that so many cultures recognize and support trans people

What is CIS ?

I agree. We’re headed into a direction of no meaning at all.
