No Men Allowed... Navajo Matriarchal society and coming of age. 

Thank you for explaining about the coming of age. I wish someone had taken my coming of age worth teaching me how to be a woman who follows the ways of wisdom. People are too often fed, and clothed, entertained, and left to stumble forward in ignorance. Many are not even cared for that much. Your ways are so beautiful!

I wish there were millions more men like you in the USA. Thank you 🎉

Thank you for sharing more of your wisdom and Dineh culture with us elder Brown!

Thank you for passing on you stories and sharing your wisdom. 😷⚒

The spirit of our children is imperative.

Seems like this video is sped up. Sir let me just say this: you take all the time you need to be able to tell these stories and teachings to us.

america needs the knowledge and the wisdom of the native american people we need it.❤❤😇😇

Thank you for sharing this on my birthday 😊. 55 today. My babies still out of the nest. Praying for Resolution . Standing faithful to our Creator and His Way. His timing. You are a blessing to me.

Thank you for reminding us it’s normal to be opposite. I sometimes feel like the new world wants to wash away women.

Honor to all nations. Thanks brother, sending Goodness

I taught on the Navajo reservation for years. I remember all of these teachings, and I have such respect for the Navajo and Hopi people. Tku

Perfect night for teachings. Blessings 🙏❤

The Sacred is overlooked to our collective detriment. What do we make sacred in our lives? Worth pondering. Many dabble in spirituality, meditation, psychic skills, but without sacred intention, we are vulnerable to parasitic attack and the distorted thinking that ensues. Thank you, Wally, for explaining these things for us to sit with.❤

Thank you Grandfather Wally and Shane for another informative video.Thank you for sharing these stories and wisdom.. We really appreciate it, thank you!!

Our Seneca Iroquois is a matriarchal society, as well. We have our elders that come together to make decisions, because both sexes are important to the family/tribe/nation. Women own the longhouses (real estate) and make most of the decisions (final), but all viewpoints are important and respected, and would never consider one sex being greater than another. We all have important roles to fulfill.

Another informative narration about keeping family guided in the right direction. Thank you Wally.

The world would be a far better place if we would learn about and respect the cultures of others. Thank you for sharing what you do. ❤

Than you For you wisdom Grandfather,Mr;Willy I am happy at least to see you by the cell screen GOD BLESS AND SISTERS AND BROTHERS BYE

Amazing. What a rich, respectful, spiritual tradition. A eloquent speaker.

This is important teaching. My own family is a different culture, but in this matter, it's similar. Thank you Wally.😊

Thank you for sharing 🤗🙏🇺🇲🏆

I've been taking time to step back and watch videos from old to new here. It's a strange phenomena to be reminded of stories I've heard before in my youth, barely recollecting but a skeleton of stories not as a childhood I wanted to forget, but a childhood I wanted to remember. There is no greater feeling than to first be empty, then made whole again. Thank you.

That was great! And to think the Europeans wanted to take the Indian out of the Indian! I’m so glad you were able to retain some of the knowledge that is so important! I wish I had had a coming of age female ceremony.

This was so wonderful 💖...blessings to you and all you know

I have so much respect for Dine' after listening to your stories. You have enlightened me and have taught me information my ancestors were unable to pass on. I appreciate you sharing your beautiful culture with us all.

Thank you from my heart for these sacred teachings 🌬💕🫂🙌🏻✨️ Gives great hope for coming generations to realize the importance of family. The nurturing way to build strong women and men to raise healthy children 👏🏻 🙌🏻 🙏🏻

Ahe'ehe'e nizhoni ha'ne'...some of us were brought up with traditional stories and ceremonies and we were told to pay attention that's how you learn the songs and the prayers... It's true we are loosing our language, tradition and culture. The traditional teaches are good but we need to learn the ceremonies as well...ahe'ehe' na'aldoo.

Thank you very much.

Thank you Mr. Brown AND Shane...

Thank you for this education and knowledge shared through the ages. Was surprised by: Women = physical well being of the family. Men = spiritual well b3ing of the family. Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge and wisdom 🙂

I’m a very proud supporter, and I’m so anxious to see all the traditional teaching preserved before they are lost. However, listening to Wally’s words makes me realize that they should not share them all because it would diminish their sacred nature. Some words need to be heard by the young ONLY when they are ready and are listening with ears open and mouth shut. As for the girls. Doesn’t it seem so obvious that this country really needs to have its young women straighten up and find their center again? There is nothing more important to the human race than our mothers. When mothers stray from their path, so too does society.

Thank you Brother Wally.

It is so good to see that the things I feel are all backed up by old traditions and telling. I felt that my husband couldn’t give us protection and peace in the home so I fought him out of our home. I feared for the well-being of my daughter and I.

Thank you, Wally.

What a beautiful way of life and I participated in the changing woman with the cake. I’ll never forget it.💜

I can hear the concern in Wills voice about these sacred teachings and the hope there are enough of the Dini who will learn and understand and be able to pass on them on to the bloodline. I am not Dini, I could never be so blessed, I hope my understanding and learning of the history and sacred teaching I can do my part so they do not get lost. Semper Fi my brother.

Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you and yours.

❤ thank YOU sharing your Knowledge. ❤

It's nice to know that Some People still understand, and respect, the natural order of the Holy Ones. There is a strong current against such people, everywhere, a move to rub us out. They will not succeed. Selah....

I love when you share the knowledge you have with us, but even more so when you share only up to what is right and good and show us where the boundaries are and where further knowledge is only for those that can use it!

Many people in modern society believe the falsehood that men & women are the same. Every old society has ceremonies, responsibilities etc some of which were mens, other's womens . Separation of responsibilities is not putting one above the other.

Love you guys. As always I find myself enriched. Thank You 🙏

Thank you for passing along the ways of our Native inhabitants. I often think how different our country would be if we hadn't eradicated any and all the traditions and culture of your people. I believe our country would be much better off!

Beautiful culture, beautiful ceremony's, wise teachings and value's . Warm and loving people. Blessings. Good life. Much respect.

The traditional Chickasaw and Choctaw measure heritage through the matrilineal line. So if, for example, a European person, or, a non-tribal person defined by the U.S. as "Mulatto" or "Negro" has descendants by a tribal person with a blood quantum, their descendants would have been considered culturally full blood. The "Negro" and "Mulatto" and "White" men, were fathers of Native children. Social equality doesn't always mean everyone has the same role. There was a different role for tribal members with a blood quantum than for other people of color and Europeans who were married to them. Likewise, equality between male and female doesn't always mean the same roles. The ceremonies, knowledge, etc. are different for male and female roles. And I appreciate you so much for bringing that to everyone's attention.

thank you so much!!

Thank u so much, l love the Wisdom that u have

Love to you! Thank you so much for informing us all!

Thank you for sharing these videos

Thank you very much for sharing ! 🌄

👍🙏>>>💚~~~Thank You!

It is not secret it is sacred! Love this defintion and it is so true some things are like that, sacred not secret.

Stay strong. Thank you for allowing me to be there.

Thank you Sir

This man impresses me more and more each time he speaks. Then again... I guess I am not as much impressed by him as I am appreciative - and perhaps biasly so - for the information that God has put on his heart to share. It is always very positive in nature and context and I find a certain 'oneness' with him and am proud to call him my friend. I say there is a 'bias' knly because I always seem to agree with the perspective of his people, their ways, and as such I feel to somehow be - even if only in spirit - a part of his 'clan'. I think I understand more about myself and why a native american here that is local to me once compared me to 'Lake'. May God bless this man with a very very long life as his teachings are important.

Greetins Brother thanks for the info

Thank you

Thanks!

Thank you for sharing your sacred knowledge. When I saw the image of changing woman it moved me to tears because on a soul level I knew that being again thank you from an ancient soul in the uk 🇬🇧 since I turned 50 have dreams and visions of a huge matriarch mammoth and also of an ancient soul who lost all her clan she tells me in Dreamtime that she is an ancient ancestor of mine and she is the one that guided me to listen to your peoples teachings as they are very similar to what is lost to modern Britain today thank you ❤

Thank You. Shine On!✨✨✨

Thank you🚀

🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼After hearing a portion of vast navajo culture, my thought, that this is a supportive outlook! 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧🙉✨✨✨

Very interesting teaching, always very interesting. 😮 68yrs old ,live in Ohio

😊TY for the VIDEO 🤗PEACE ❤

Thank you ...🙏🏽

This is so interesting & these things should be passed to the generations definitely. It’s all makes perfect sense.

I love watching these videos.

Thank you for clarifying the male side. As a boy, I heard of it in boarding school. One of the boys had his ceremony.

Yah ah tey and thanks 🙏👍✌️🙏💯

So beautiful!

magnificent. ...

Thanks teacher🌞🙏🧘✍️

Wow! This is the video I have been waiting for! I have watched a lot of what you have shared! If I had money I would give you a million at least!!! As a lifetime educator of children I am greatful for you, as you mentioned Navajo women are not inclined to share. It appears to me that a kindergarten rainbow art project would bee enlightening for many people! Adding teaching tools (of our own imagination) to your store. I have looked for a contact button on your page, I will send info snail mail to your PO box. I am in flag...

great wisdom xxx needed

Thanks Much love an respect fron Germany

THank you

Thank you, Grandpa❤❤❤

We have so much to learn in western culture about spiritual teachings. Divorce for instance is much simpler and respectful than family court is today. And these coming of age ceremonies should be a part of our teachings to young people and their absence is why we see so much disrespect and rebellion toward our elders.

My Nali died before I was born. I never had a woman's ceremony .

i was taught that during the Kinaaldá (the female puberty), everybody who taught & who were important to the girl, were invited to attend specific parts of the ceremony. however, it was very rare for men to mould & participate fully in a Kinaaldá. the people who were invited gave their blessings to the girl as she progressed in the ceremony. that is why elders say you are not supposed to do bad things & naughty things during a Kinaaldá, because that is what you will be giving to a female for her puberty ceremony. there were times when some families had no females or matriarch to mould & bless a female for her Kinaaldá, so they did what they had to do to survive. our zází (ancestors) survived for a reason, & we should never forget that.

Hello Papa 💙 thank you

There is a lot of deferment to the uncle or grandfather in the raising of the children that is not well understood outside of the Navajo's. The best description of the owning of the children by the mother would be matrilineal and not matriartical. The uncles and chays on the motherside of the family still have a lot of say regarding to the family. Matrilineal gives a lot of voice to women in Navajo Society. Decision in war and peace were still made by head men as in the Navajo council or Naachʼid when the question of war came that Narabona lead. Peace after the long walk was given to Barboncito who spoke for the people with General Sherman that led to the Navajo being allowed to return home. Naachʼid would be an interesting area of discussion.

Thank you grandfather ❤

❤❤

Very interesting

That makes sense. Each person will be treated as an individual and may be private

It's very hard for the white man in me to remain humble thank you for all these lessons

Great

STICK to Your Ways Youth Keep On the Red Road Ya Have Very Knowledgeable Elder So Listen And Learn Verbal Knowledge Is How We Have Kept Are Culture Alive So Remember Who U R and Never Lose Yourself.

thank you for that ,, we whites need something like that to guide our young ones ,,, they are mostly lost ,,

I find all this fascinating and so many good practices..... I'm very concerned that it sounds like women do the all the real physical daily work? Cooking, cleaning, clothing, keep the home running etc etc. While the men do the emotional /spiritual work? I can't figure out what that translates to in terms of daily contributions

The mother fights off physical offenses of any kind but their inner world, their mental essence that cannot be held, touched, seen is protected too. Amazing, simply amazing. That recognition of that dimension as separate from the outer observed phenomena is wonderful. Understanding where one views their self from in reality is such a glorious state. It's invisible to so many taking the form of ideology in service to whatever comes into ones experience being directed towards said ideology.We seem to mis identify with the current perceived mood or conglomeration of thoughts and ideas. It's all mental abstraction and the actual realization of the present moment and ones own presence there aside from the current thoughts, mood, emotions or whatever leads to profound changes in ones life immediately by some measure. It's like ping pong. A predicament indeed. This miss perception has led to atrocities of which is beyond this moments consideration but leaves one subject to manipulation under the banner of something outside themselves. This is a tragedy. I would seek to amend that by having people turn onward, the realest spot known. Go deeper. Meditate. Please forgive me, I digress. You're awareness of these realities is heartwarming. Thank you for opening up to us in this way. Your virtue is supreme it appears. One never knows the heart of another. It's malevolent when deception is in one's heart. Heresy is a road to a dark mind. Let that outer world take a back seat to the inner world that is no less than you and me, you can't hold it you can't touch it and you can't see it.

Yes, because the state of their tribal position now denotes how successful matriarchal society has done for them.

As far as I know, the men ceremony is held less these days than the female ceremony. It is definitely true about leaving the saddle outdoors but I think it is more about infidelity issues than spiritual neglect.
