I’m Navajo
The picture posted is not a skin Walker, those are call Yeibichei. We have YEIBICHEI ceremony for healing. This picture are misrepresented on this show

[Taylor-hwzz]

I cannot stand how he constantly interrupts the gentleman giving the blessing.

[stevensalinas]

I wish Native Americans were talking about THEIR legends and roots.

[allenb.]

Hey, the thumbnail/pictures are wrong. Those are Navajo yeibichai. They're holy figures in Navajo tradition.

I liked how he blessed them first asking for entrance and that No one will be harmed. He even blessed all the sacred directions too. Navajos can’t bless the north. Because that is the place of death, darkness, and evil. You also can’t sleep to the north too or else the holy people will think your dead and will try and take you. They come in your dreams sometimes too. You also can’t wear rings on your thumb and index finger because that also means death.(I’m Navajo just to clarify)

I am not native American however I find this fascinating as an American born and raised. The natives are our people and I'm proud to be born on the same soil they came from.

Never doubt these legends... There is always some truth behind it... People saw and faced something... It may not be the kind of skincrawler that we think about today... But it definitely was something...

[greatvid]

My dad speaks Navajo. It's considered a dead language. It was really cool to see him speak to some Navajo women and see how excited they got, I lot of their kids don't even speak it anymore.

"I hope you were praying with me. Because you're the people who are doing to do it. (I won't be here..haha!)" and then gives a knowing smile that the prayer was worthless. Haha!!

I like the native guy, wish I could see the whole season of this.

Scary fact: if a skinwalker screams and it sounds far away it’s actually very close to you

[ramkeransusanann]

Some things are better left alone. They never learn.

Appreciate his choice to seek "the spirits" approval before the actual digging. This practice is similar in my country ☺

I grew up learning about these superstitions in my native reserve up here in Canada. My reserve is a fly in community and we have this fishing lake called “dog skin.” About 2 hours by boat and the lake was blessed by our elders in the late 80’s so there’s tons of fish. Anyway in the evenings/dark, fish are coming in left and right, my grand parents heard a scream in the forest, middle of nowhere and this meant something bad was going to happen in our community. And surely something does happen, usually somebody dies or a massive storm comes. I’ve been fishing there since I was a kid but nothing ever really happened because we would go back before it got dark. Just thought I’d share a story taught by my grandparents from their great grand parents. 👍🏽

Those photos aren’t skin walkers 😂 please do complete thorough research next time instead of going off of what Google gives when you when you Google skinwalker

[Imlosep]

The blessing won’t work from the tribe that was cursed. A Navajo shaman need to give the blessing to ease the restless spirits .

[morrissemien]

He hugged that man an he just met him the natives were and are good people I can tell just by his actions

[gloriakeeto]

As a Navajo, I wish they stop using the pictures of our kachinas in reference to skinwalker! They r our deities who represent the natural world of earth n sky. I know some represent darkness . Darkness like nighttime, not darkness as in evil! Maybe reach out to a Navajo medicine man like Wally Brown. He has a YouTube channel called Navajo traditional teachings.

[Stolas]

As A Native American We Don't usually Talk About Stuff Like This But That's Why I never knew about this so Thank You for this✨👏

[yousefk]

The native american dude should get his own show
