I Lived in the Desert with a Navajo Family Speaking Their Language

It’s extremely rare for outsiders to get to experience this very traditional and very hardcore lifestyle, and I’m so grateful to them for opening up their home to me and my friends @DaveDisci and @SeaboltSpeaks. Both we and the family were fully vaccinated for COVID before this trip, and thanks also to Babbel for sponsoring this video and I’ll be donating 100% of the sponsorship proceeds to the Rock Point Community School, which educates local kids.

Once again, thank you so much for wanting to learn to speak our language, respecting our culture and seeing a part of the reservation like no other. I look forward to seeing you once again and you’ll definitely learn more! Ahxéé’héé’ nitsáagó!

Your ability to learn languages is like a magic ticket to all these adventure rides.

You dont understand how much you inspire our own tribe, to learn our language our own culture, thank you. you are my hero. -from a kid from the navajo nation

As a Navajo, this family was legit! Lol they treated you guys to the best there is. The only thing missing was freshly roasted green chile to pair with the frybread

I don know wh I’m crying. I’m African, Zimbabwean to be exact. Indigenous American cultures have so much in common with African ones. And the system of reservations was typical in British colonies. Watching this video reminded me of visiting my grandparents home, simple, clean and in tune with nature. It’s sad that we as a generation have lost our connection with our roots and history.

I remember passing these places in Arizona. These Natives have it hard, they deserve the utmost respect

I’ve worked for some of the world’s top YouTubers for years, and on a platform where so many creators (including the ones making millions) are all too eager to steal and copy content from others, here’s a respectful young man doing original content while making the world a better place for us all.

I truly respect and appreciate your dedication and content!

Came here to listen to Navajo, ended up feeling hungry seeing all that food

[Anna_Stetik]

They may not have all the luxuries, but that looks like a lot more peaceful life than what most of us have. No drama, no noise, no congestion, no dirty air, no rushing....just them and nature - the way it was supposed to be.

I'm half Navajo, my mom speaks it fluently and I'm sad I never learned growing up. I absolutely love this!! I've been with my husband for 5 years and he's never been to the reservation.

“Feed the animals before you feed the people.” That is beautiful.

I really enjoyed your trip out to my rez. Tyrell is awesome and I'm so happy you connected with him and his family. You're were all amazing and respectful guest. I miss home and you showing your experience was so heart warming. Thank you.

Non-Navajo person: where do you live?
Navajo: keep going straight until you see a tire hanging on a post, then take a right and then take a left at the bush... 🤣🤣

[adrianpatino]

It's so crazy to see how many similarities there are between their culture and Mexican culture. You can tell the proximity of the ancient communities left them with things in common. I love my native American cousins 🇲🇽🤎

[lukasalofs]

Wow. As a european white male I feel so bad for all the Native Americans being treated like animals. You are and will forever be my favorite kind of people. I admire your respect for animals and nature and your generosity overall. Ayóó anííníshní diné bikéyah.❤️

[brettmeister]

Thank you for making our culture and the Navajo people relevant. This is huge for our community!

[isaiahbaggett]

I'm so glad you are highlighting their culture.

[destinywilson]

Hey, I showed my grandma and my aunt your videos they loved hearing you speak Navajo! My aunt laughed so much today, partly watching your video and because of my pronunciation! I have always wondered what my grandma was saying in her prayers, so I thought if you could learn I could give it a shot! My family are teaching me a few phrases, and my tongue is lazy but even so I won't give up!

[leeleejames]

Xioama has to be the most worldly, friendly, genuine person I've seen. It's amazing he embraces language so much and makes the effort to learn so extensively. His appreciation for all cultures is what we need more of. ❤️

[pewpewpechew]

I have known my whole life that Cherokee is apart of my heritage, I was always against trying to find ways the learn the language because I felt it was not my place as I'm not even half Cherokee. But seeing the joy of the Navajo people from you being so interested in their Language has sparked inspiration to learn. Thank you!
