SIGNIFICANCE BEHIND NAVAJO TRADITIONAL CLOTHING 

Honestly this brought tears to my eyes. Growing up on the reservation in red rock NM I was raised by my mom and grandparents. My grandparents didn't speak English very well, so we learned navajo very early. Anyway, I was ignorant and was to involved with school and sports that I never took the time to listen to my grandparents:'( my grandmother was a weaver and she was amazing. None of us in the family paid attention. Now my grandparents have been gone for many years and I haven't been home and present with my Navajo culture that I feel so lost and a lot of times alone. Thank you for sharing this, even though it made me very sad. I didn't know any of what you taught but I do now. Please continue to shared your wonderful Dine teachings💛

I'm part Ojibwa first nations. My woman of over 20 years is Dine'. I love learning her culture and words. It makes her smile and I am in love with her happiness. Walk in beauty

i’m 16 and i’m not really tied with my culture but i want to learn . thank you for making this video

Greeting from Tuba City you were taught very well. Not many people know these anymore very few know what each of these mean. Thank you it was short and sweet.

Im half Navajo and sadly my mom was never there to teach me this, so i thank you.

Thank you ladies for sharing and also for reminding the women not to be wearing their Ké Ntsaaí with their regular clothing attire. Its good to be reminded of our cultural and traditional teachings and what they represent. 😊❤

Wow, that's great I have a daughter that Navajo I really respect that Navajo culture . And not just Navajo but all tribes THANK YOU

❤️ Navajo Culture/ language/people! Thank you for sharing!!

9:12 When you said this is a girl version of a shield, I automatically thought of Wonder Woman's bracelets. Except these ones look way nicer.

Thank you for creating this video. I didn’t know a lot of the things you taught in the video. You girls did a lovely job of saying both Navajo and English for each meaning or material. A suggestion, you should have another video explaining a men’s traditional outfit. Overall, thank you and good job.

Well done young ladies ahe´hee´. I wish I remembered more as a young girl when my grandma was teaching me these things. But this brings so much back thank you for keeping our Traditions alive. Your grandmas must be proud🍃

It's so beautiful to see you honoring the traditions of your ancestors and culture. Thank you for sharing!

i find it interesting the similarities between certain cultures, like with your culture, there is a significance with the umbilical cord and connecting to your parent, the sun, and also fertility, ect. We also have jewelry to symbolize all of this in ancient Nordic/Scandinavian culture. Its lovely.

Thank you for sharing this. Even an old Nebraska man can see the integrity of your beautiful heart’s, and the sweet morning dew of the pollen path,(with your help) you are walking. The beauty of the "princess" shines from with-in you. Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your culture. This was super interesting and the meanings very beautiful.

This video is beautiful!! I am from southern Arizona, so I see, smell, hear, and even get to taste Native culture culture sometimes! This video was just awe-inspiring to me! To actually hear you name the items, and then tell us in English-language too! For you to tell us the female piece, and then the male piece too! And to learn all of those representations! This is my 1st time to your channel, and I am in love. I feel like I learned so much, about things around me, that I just had no clue of! Especially the jewelry, that was my favorite part! And I love how respectful you were! About the medicine bag, and not showing everything to the public, you know? My absolute favorite part of this video was the birth to old age necklace, with the umbilical cord representation, that shows connection to your mother... That was so beautiful... I can't wait to subscribe and see more! Thank you beautiful ladies!!

A beautifully profound culture you represent. Having such protection must be a beautiful thing to feel as you see your rings, and as you feel your jewellery. I sensed a lot of good from this video.

Beautifully presented, thank you!

Thank you ladies. what lovely teachings. Being dine I was never really taught our traditions. I know things here and there. But this video helps knowing what our traditional garments represent. Awesome video.

I've been seeking this knowledge for so long and I am grateful to you both for sharing it with me. I humbly send you my love and strength. Tlazohcamati Cenca my sisters. ❤️🔥💚🌳💙💧🙏🏽

Love your disclaimer, thank you for respecting our elders' knowledge beforehand.

very interesting, very beautiful culture, thanks for sharing

Thank you for making this video. I was not raised traditional but learning it as I go forward. I’ve always wanted to know what my jewelry means when wearing them, even a sash-belt. Now I know, I’ll pass these teachings on. You grandparents and parents have taught you well. 💜

Thank you ladies for this knowledge of Dineh outfits. I am a Dineh from chicago and I don't know much about my people. I take every chance to learn from elder and youth like the two of you ladies. Again Thank you.

I appreciate your knowledge of your culture and traditions. It's heavy and deep with power and beauty.

Thank you. I did enjoy this. I love hearing about culture and the meaning of things. Very well done.

Wonderful to see you girls so young and so knowing of your traditions, the craft skills are beautiful and full of meaning. Well done, Bring your traditions forward into the new generations 😊

This is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing. Today is Indigenous People Day! Which is everyday really.

Spiritual explanation of a Navaho Woman’s Dress!

Beautiful! So interesting! Thank you for your teachings. 🥰🤗

Thanks Squash Blossom Duo, love your Navajo traditions. I personally have Apache & Yaqui blood but was not raised traditional, so I wish I grew up learning the traditions and being able to walk in them.

Thank you for sharing. I am very grateful and really helpful that you put the written words on the screen.

I wish I knew some teachings. Keep sharing your traditional knowledge. We need to know our teachings and values. Good job!

Always had a deep love for American Indian culture. Thank You for sharing a small taste of your AMAZING traditional ways. " BEAUTIFUL," BRIGHT, YOUNG NAVAJO woman. The Turquoise jewelry is INSANE. Has it been handed down from your beloved family?. I must get out to Arizona @ surroundings. Always walked a Red Road

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. May God continue to guide your steps to continue sharing knowledge.

Thank you for sharing your beautiful traditions I am so looking forward to more of your videos.

Thank you ladies, that was very enlightening. The Navajo culture, is a beautiful culture. We spent three days at Monument Valley, and it was a beautiful and spiritual place.

Thank you both so much, really appreciate you creating this for now and the future.

Thank you for sharing I wish more would share so I could learn more about my people I am half native Apache.

Really great to hear you explain the symbolism. Thanks so much

You make me so Proud to be me!! Love your channel!! 💯❤ for the both of you ladies ❣👑❤🌹 I'm crying ☺tears. 🤗😍

Thanks for explaining your family teaching you to be Navajo. I learned from my Cheyenne Grandparents to listen/learn.

You ladies are beautiful... I admire your culture and loved how every part of your custom to the ornaments have a meaning... love the teachings... please kindly tell us more... thank you.

Very interesting. I'm Mississippi Choctaw and I always wanted to know more about the traditional rug dress and jewelry. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work.

Thank you ladies for sharing your teachings and reminding our Dineh traditional ways. Aho yaah. Beautiful. Niihoznii

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Different eyes see different things. It's good to see more.

Thanks for sharing your teachings. Even though you're teachings are different from how I was taught I can't say your teachings are wrong. It's good to know how other people are taught. But we all teach K'e and Hozho' which is core to being Dine'! Blessings!!

Lovely and very well done video. Came for the jewelry but learned a lot more. Thank you for taking the time to film and share.

So beautiful and really interesting to hear the meaning of each piece. I also love hearing you speak Navajo. Thank you. Would love to hear more about "female rain", I don't know what that means.

As long as we young Natives follow traditions. That's all the elders really appreciate it

Wow this video is so appeciated. I have always admired the beauty of your Dine rug dresses, weavings, and jewelry. When I see images of Diné women young and old, you radiate such Beauty. To hear what each aspect of your clothing means adds so much to my appreciation of what it means to walk in Beauty surrounded by the earth, stars, and mountains, corn. I love learning about the richmess of your culture, art and stories 🙏🙏🙏and thanks to your videos, I am learning many words. Ahéhee!!!🙏🙏 🌅🕸🤍💙💛🖤 Hózhǫ́!!!! 💝 Aloha from Hawaii. I visited some sacred mountains on the NaPali coast here on Kauaʼi yesterday and thought of your sacred mountains while I was there.

I love this series! Straight up my alley! Your culture is very beautiful! And I respect it a lot!

This is real eye opening now I can understand their importance the next time I wear them.

FAIR PLAY TO BOTH YOU GIRLS, THANKS A MILLION!

OH MY GOODNESS! YOUR PEOPLES CULTURES SO BEAUTIFUL! I love your videos SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!💓💟💝💗💞❣️💕💖❤️💚💜💜💛🖤!!!

Another great video you have made, thank you for helping out the next generation of young ladies who need teachings, guidance & self awareness. We as men have to realize the importance of respecting all ladies for they might be our grandmother, mother, sister, auntie or our cousin's.(Clans) Thanking all you Dine Ladies for carrying all these teachings & giving us LIFE.

This is really beautiful! Good job ladies! You are being taught very well🙏🏽

Amazing! Thank you for creating this video!

Thank you for that ladies I didn’t know the things you shared.

Thanks for sharing what you know ladies🙏🏻

By far the most innovative vlog you have posted, I am impressed by the knowledge you two young ladies have posted, Thank you, I have only read on the significance of the clothing style and jewelry, it makes more sense know by watching your video. Thank you again.

Hi 👋showing sum luv 💕from Manitoba Canada

such a nice video it's so interesting how every part of your clothing mean something/the spiritual side is also very refreshing/Thank you for this video it's girls like you who make sure that our teachings and way of life is not forgotten because after the old ones are gone you will be there!!

Yes! Keep this content coming ladies, awesome job as always thank you!

Wonderful to learn these things from you. Thank you so much

Not Diné but it's interesting to see the difference between your teachings and what my little sisters are taught.

Thank you ladies!

Woooow... I’m so impressed buy you guys.👍🏻..... what a beautiful video.... I’m still memorized by the beauty...🌹🌹🌹

Squash blossom greetings from new York your clothing is very beatuiful and spiritual

I learned a lot of things. Thank you for making this video.

The silver and blue are from where we come from and where we are going. It’s the journey of the spirit. The blue or turquoise is from the blue world or the second world. The silver is the fourth world. We are in the yellow or the third world, so this jewelry is also representing where we are coming from and where we are going on the journey through the worlds as a spirit. That’s how I know it anyways. Like different teachings are like different clans and different families. It’s similar but small differences and they are all good, so thank you for sharing.

Good job ladies keep up the good content. Lots of good info keep making videos 👍🏾👍🏾

Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

I Love this information and very beautiful jewerly from you people,I apprecciate that so much, congratulation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was beautiful thank you for sharing. 🖤

Thank you for sharing! I enjoyed learning the significance behind each piece... So beautiful & inspiring! If only everyone could wear their clothing & jewelry with such meaning & mindfulness, I think the world would be a better place! Kind advice; no need to apologize about no "into or outro"... I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't mention it! Us women are always apologizing... even saying "I'm sorry" without thinking. I'm so over that haha!!! We are warriors, no need to apologize unless you stepped on someone's foot

You deserve all the Praise! It was a great and detailed explanation. I watched your presentation with great interest. Your Creation Story Dine Bahane is amazing! I recommend it heartily to all your watchers as well. The Native Americans are very valuable to the Land and to the Planet! Maybe movie producers will make these traditional stories into Movies. Please post more Presentations! Greetings from Austin Texas. I hope to visit the Dine! Peace Sisters!

Thank you for sharing. ❤

Truly a blessing to know our ways, thank you for sharing 💕 Should set up a PO Box (: would love to send gifts for thanking you beautiful sisters for sharing

Hello beautiful young ladies, Thank you kindly for presenting this video to us. I have long wanted to know the meaning your manner of dress, hairstyles and significance of your jewelry. I have long collected Navajo jewelry and received some from my dear aunt. My turquoise is more prized to me than any other jewelry I own. Many blessings!!
