Native American (Navajo) History From Monument Valley

In this week's video we stop at Monument Valley.
Made famous by the many movies that have been filmed here... But to many of our Diné, it is home.

Navajo Historian, Wally Brown, teaches a little about the area and how it gets its name.

Also, enjoy some sights and sounds from the area.

As an afterthought, it looks sacred and spiritual to simply stand on this land… thus, my wish to visit before I leave this earth. Thank you, I love these videos. 🙏🏻

I went there once. I drove by myself for hours and got there late in the day. It was an amazing and awesome place full of spirit. There were a couple of people there but that’s all. A guy asked if I wanted to take a tour but it was too late and I just wanted to sit there quietly. As I did, I saw a coyote moving through the land up into some rocks, moving like a shadow. I took a photo and even knowing the coyote was there I had to look hard to find it. I asked myself why I drove so many hours just to be there for such a short time but this video reminds me that I am so glad I did!!

I love Monument Valley. There is something timeless about it. You can feel the greatness of creation and the vastness of time. Our human lives are so small and humble when you stand among nature that has been here for millennia. 💗

Back in '79, I was fortunate enough to go there and camp with my boyfriend. We saw a full October moon rise right between the 'thumbs' of the male and female 'mittens'. The beauty and energy will be clear in my mind forever. Thank you for letting us stay for that one magical night.

I'm learning about your culture. I have always been drawn to the history of it && the stories. I loved listening to my grandmother's stories too.. I live in East Tennessee near the Appalachian trail & the Nolichucky River runs thru. It is beautiful here as well. I remember seeing where you are here in a movie when I was young. Thank you for sharing.. I love your teachings.🙏🧡

I am so grateful for your videos explaining things and speaking the Navaho - D’neh- language. The flute and storm soundtrack was a perfect match to the awesome landscape footage. Thank you ❤️🙏🏻🕊
