  • čas přidán 10. 02. 2024
  • Tucked into a valley in Rocky Ridge, Arizona, the residents live quietly among the mesas herding sheep. But they are also prize-winning ropers and riders, and before them there were WWII veterans storming the beaches of Normandy. And long before that, Navajo lore says there were monsters--monsters who are still among us. Join us as we ride along with Gene Shepherd and explore petroglyphs, origin stories, and where the monsters are lurking today.

      @@Spagoshi Don't know. Uncle Joe and his mom moved to New Orleans from out west when he was a boy. That's how he met my aunt Rosemary and married into my family. His mom barely spoke a word of English, mostly Navajo. She had long hair down to her feet. My mom and her became close friends. My Grand mother was half Houma Indian and Cajun. I found that out when I was 19. There's alot of whites in America that don't know that they have Native American Indian/ Indigenous American blood in them. I was married to a Seminole eight years. Choctaw 10 years. She was the best one but past away.

We've been meaning to collaborate for the past years but time and family is always a priority that restricts us from that venture. Actually, a behind the scenes insight: when Peter Santenello and I were discussing logistics about doing an interview he said his Crow contact fell through and was in Montana trying to figure out what to do, so I called my Crow friend and asked if there is someone he could recommend and his brother came through and that's the gentleman Peter interviewed.

    My late Grandfather's brother (my cheii) parachute into Normandy on D- Day with the 82nd Airborne "All American". He passed away in 2015. As a kid he told me about how his unit got scatter all over and they had different units banding together to fight, he told his story on a drive from Western Navajo to Cortez CO in the late 90's. In later years I remember I bringing home a CMP M1 Garand and I showed it to him. He was old but I could tell his hand remembered the rifle like as if he carried it yesterday.

    I'm grateful you edited this. Of course I want to hear the story. But he's right. There are some stories our brothers and sisters have already shared with the world. I'll give the edited version of one from way up north. A happy family lived way up north. But then one day the husband never came back. He left his wife and two children for another woman. THe wife was hurt, then sad, then angry. She changed how she looked. She tricked the other woman into a painful death. Then she turned into a bear and killed her husband. In her anger she forgot to change back. She returned home as a bear and her children were scared and turned into birds and flew away. Of course it's metaphor but the the morals (and possibly the consequences) are real- stick with family, don't abandon your family, don't betray your spouse....

      Commitment can be difficult for souls that are immature. Sadly, sometimes folks fall in love with just such a person.
      Re: the bear
      metamorphosis, it's important not to spend life looking back in rage/self-pity... or pass those crippling
      vibes to the children.

      I’m American of Irish Ancestry but my paternal great grandmother was from County Kerry. I also agree that the Irish & Native Americans have much in common. When I went to Chico State University here in Northern California, I was lucky to hear Russell Means speak. He said that the only people who fought against occupation longer than the Native Americans were the Irish. That was an amazing revelation to me & something I never considered. I have huge respect for Mr. Means.
      Also, I recently read an article in the Smithsonian (though I knew of the story previously) of the generous donation certain tribes gave to the people of Ireland during the potato famine and how the Irish people returned the favor by sending money to help Native tribes during the Covid pandemic. The Irish don’t forget. Good hearts speak to each other across all divides. I wish I could sit & hear your stories, fables, etc…such wisdom we Anglos have lost touch with, and so badly need. 😞

    Powerful way to start off my Sunday! Thank you for sharing this! I also respect that he shared that a mans role is to always be working for his family and out of the house. This is an old school teaching that emphasizes the traditional role of the man. This way is being forgotten, and as a young man I find it valuable. When he mentioned the petroglyphs, I saw your eyes light up! lol. Those stories are very powerful, some of the elder Dinè medicine men have shared them with me. What I gather is that many of the holy ones ancient teachings were perverted by some of the first men and women, they rebelled and this created monsters. It is a powerful reminder to stay on the path of Hozhó and to walk in beauty! There is a lot in the world that tries to take us off of this path!

    I listen closely when native people speak and believe that if we had listened to them long ago, we would not be in the trouble we are in now. Who do they think those monsters really are, because I think they are literally closer to the truth than most people realise. I have so often observed that what is happening here on the earth is inhuman. And then I realised that it actually is inhuman. There are monsters among us and we has all better start singing songs of protection to God, because its about to get much much worse.

    This is similar to how the giants and the titans came about. You could trace it to an argument between a man and a woman.

      Even though I believe Mormonism is a false religion, I do think Joseph smith stole secrets from the Freemasons when he spoke about the native tribes allegedly being the lost tribes of Israel. I see a lot of evidence that supports this.

      The whole story is meant for one-on-one conversation & the way to respect our elder's tradition. The issue that technology introduced is that everything should be shared, but in our tradition, there are stories & practices that are meant to be left offline. Hope you understand that explanation. Have a great week & ahe' hee for asking for insight 🤙🏾

    ☝🏻"Keep it (the stories) to yourself.., Tell it only to those who you know are worthy & will treasure & keep it safe." *Good advice for all, in any language🙏🏻 🕊️
    It is also true about God's word. In his message of The Sermon on the Mount, Jesus uses dogs and pigs, as a way to point out those who ridicule, reject and blaspheme the Gospel, once its shared or presented to them. They trample it and return ro their sinful ways. Like a "... dog that returns to eat its vomit."
    Repeatedly sharing the truth w/people who continuously scoff & ridicule; the gift of forgiveness via the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross; is like , "...casting your pearls before swine.." Pigs don't care for pearls (words of wisdom) & some people don't care for what Christ has done for them. 💔

      I grew up in Flagstaff with Navajo, Apache and Hopi friends. The stories some people tell leave things unfairly one sided or incomplete. I don't think that's right. Anything an elder has to say is important. What they have to share shouldn't be censored or edited. Just making a point and defending their culture.

      I live in Phoenix now. I'm Hispanic. I had the good experience of being raised around the native culture. I still go visit once in a while, but Flag isn't the same as it once was. I went to St Mary's and South Beaver. Both of those schools got knocked down and don't exist anymore. I grew up in a logging family and enjoyed the woods. I had friends that would take me to BBQs when I was in high school and Jr High. I loved the stories the elders shared. I miss it. But they're memories now.

    So why is it culturally sensitive to not talk about the rest of the stories? Why be stingy with them like he said? What is the fear? Do they think people won’t value the story? They won’t understand the story? And how do we learn more about it ourselves because I think there’s value learning from all cultures

    • @Spagoshi
      @Spagoshi  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Thanks for commenting & like Gene said & many other traditional Dine', sharing the story isn't meant for a broad audience. It's done specifically during the winter times, between the storyteller & those they choose to tell the story to & trust they continue the same tradition. The stories that are written in books are pretty accurate but isn't done in a traditional manner nor is it following the traditional story method, which is why we are oral storytellers & not writers. I understand everyone loves to hear the stories or learn more but it comes down to the listener to seek that information in person & fully understand why it's meant to be an oral storytelling moment. Hope that clarifies your questions. We appreciate your comment & support 🤙🏾

      You are like the many who do not understand the ways and the teachings of the Native American! Go check out what your religious people did to the Native American they took their children from the reservations and they had to live in these boarding schools where the Native American children were beaten and starved especially if they spoke their own language! The young women were raped and many of them were killed because they would not conform to the teachings of Jesus Christ !!! So tell me were those people the priests and the nuns who ran those boarding schools were they people of God!! So before you start yelling about Christ perhaps you should educate yourself about the Native Americans we were here before you and will be again! Have a nice day!!!
