  • Hmm, wonder if my adopted Dine grandma had a good experience with her kinaalda. Wish i was truly Navajo, i'd have a kinaalda of my own.

  • your not suppose to record this... anyways i had mines in the winter...yeah it was hard running in the snow when it was icy but i had a wonderful time :)))

  • As a Navajo Woman I am very blessed to say this is what a true woman can endure at the beginning of a wonderful life!! And very thankful to my parents, grandparents, siblings and family that made it all possible for me and my 2 sisters :)

  • @cardyarlinda Don't worry, I didn't have mine till almost three years after I was supposed to. You won't be allowed to bake a cake, but I did anyway because nobody told them. xD Just remember when you have it: SLEEP BEFORE THE KINAALDA!!! Trust me: I had to learn the hard way. You basically won't be sleeping the whole 4 days. Get some sleep seriously.

  • i wish that i had mine done not in another two more years fuck it wouild be hard but no worrys my sister had hers she liked hers and it wasnt fun

  • i wish that i had mine done not in another two more years

  • Nothing is private and sacred anymore!!!!!

  • @tashamoshpit Yeah your right. nothing is anymore. thats why things arent the same.

  • i wish i had mine done :"(

    my dad wouldnt allow me to have it cuz his family doesnt believe in the traditional ways but on the other hand my moms side of the family does. there was a little head butting wen my moms side of the family heard that i couldnt have mine :/ i believe we should bring our navajo ways back. our elders would not have stood for this to be happening. we are to modernized now a days.

  • umm ok its not a honor thing or anything so umm yea.. stop trippin all i say is growing up is growing up no big deal.. im full navajo n didnt get one oh well.. dont want one cause what is it.. lol

  • Wow I can't believe this was recorded!!

  • ugh that friggn sucked when i did that...but it was all worth it :D

  • im part navajo...what is this ceremony?

  • The Kinaalda ceremony is an intricate four-day event performed to guide a young girl's ascent into womanhood. Kinaalda means "puberty ceremony", and is also the name given to the girl being celebrated. It is a time of great rejoicing for the Navajo people. Check it out at indiansummerfilms. net

  • . I was just droping by you're page to say God sent His only begotten Son, Lord Jesus Christ, to die for our sins. He loves you very much. Also, He still saves. Thank you for the add and also for you're time. It was greatly apreciated. :)

  • i dont think this should not be recorded..this is sapose to be in between the navajo culture..im about to go through mine in may...just keep this culture and language alive

  • What?!?! This is not suppose to be recorded. How could they allow this?

  • @Pavajo13 Seems like kids these days are all about media. I think it's a good thing that is preserve for the future when these days our culture dwindling at a rapid pace.

  • Im so thankful i had this ceremony done (a loooonnngg time ago! lol). But i made some mistakes as a young adult and forgave myself and went back to my traditional roots. hopefully I will be doing this for my daughter when she grows up...

  • the navajo culture is not dying but changing , changing to the modern days. we as navajo keep our culture alive inside our heart, body ,and soul. never say its dying.

  • So i watched this video, and i would like her go through an old school ceremony like i did.

    this was so modernized, and really does show that navajo culture, ceremonies, and of life is dying (not changing) but disappearing.

    :(
