Metate and Mano (adentro de caja). Interesting! Makes me imagine our Hisatsinom maternal ancestors grinding the sacred corn. :) Thank you for sharing!
This is how our own grandmas used to grind the nixtamal to make the masa for tortillas in Mexico.

Lahhh you can see aj walk by the door in the beginning. Lol. Nana ben sitting in the front in his camo jacket. My tsida grinding corn with my neice and our wowos and Wowo ll'ashii's. This is probably at the booqua or cheama house. 👍👍
Don't be saying things about my wows because I love them
This is beautiful
It’s hard when you do this 😅
🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thanks for sharing. very impressed, so glad you're keeping traditions up. Only a few women are grinding now days we grind so we can continue our women duties to our ancestors. Now young ladies need to know that it's no different from daily Zumba. It's a good workout and gives you a nice tight bu
The song is great! Almost like a Hand dance song from up North....Thanks for Posting......
Is nothing sacred anymore? You should keep it to yourselves and not show it on the media
Raymond Coriz be nice! Some of Your tribal members are often seen at our summer dance sprinkling corn meal on our Kachinas. We share some of our customs but not the sacred things that make our religion mystical.
Don't worry Raymond what you say is true. Our hopi and Zuni neighbors aren't respecting their ceremonies anymore. They don't know what's sacred anymore.
the songs the medicine men are singing are Navajo/Diné songs translated into Zuni. as a Navajo/Diné, corn grinding is a social teaching. the only strict teaching is grinding the corn. Navajo matriarchs will scold you if you are grinding the corn wrong. they will also correct you in a very strict way.
Corns grinding has a music too so beautiful. Love Navajo culture.
Jeremy Ksor I was corrected by my father who is also singing, these are songs sung originally by Navajos.. I was not aware bt I stand corrected.. :)
Theresa Tsethlikai good to hear your father still singing your own language and preserve your culture. I am Montagnard jarai tribe Central highland we lost our ancestors land and our culture , the Vietnam government destroyed it us.
Jeremy Ksor we are Zuni Pueblo. The most populated pueblo tribe in all regions. We adapted to these songs from the Navajos whom have their own belief, cultures and traditions. Its jus the music we sing and inspire our own culture as well...
Just imagine that sound of the stone grinding calling our Grandmothers,Mothers,Sisters to bless us and to see how happy we are that Our ways will never change. As we say in our tongue "Nei'drah-Thank You",I'm Pueblo myself. Never let Your ways of culture disappear,this is who we are always and forever,pass it down to the next generation that way they will be on that right path with the sun.
