  • I want to know more about why they area an what was there. Purpose ...was always told they were first stared as a form or messengers for the Trail of Tears ....is this True?

  • fkn yani's man they didnt learn when nayei'naysyan'i killed their monster parents they took good magic and made it evil. when nayeinaysyani killed the yei'iis they did not learn now they controll the world, but the great spirit and holy beings will eradicate them. they are afraid of the holy people they only pray on the weak and vulnerable with carnal desires they make kids do sick things but all must return to the great spirit and there will be a perfect record of your doings. stay safe peace

  • the powers that they have were once used for good things it had the ability for someone to travel fast at a fast speed to help ppl back then but somewhere ppl just started using this ability for pure evil to take revenge out on ppl by either making them sick...it still happenes today especially on the rez.

  • even to this day they still exist but its not very appropiate for us native americans to talk about it its very disturbing the stories you hear

  • i can honestly say i have my own experience with a yaniLiving on the rez is no joke in the middle of nowhere they tend to break into your house especially at night you will know when there is one around hiding in the trees, when the dogs start barrking like crazywhen i was around 11 i had one in my room ijust awoke with a vary dark shadow by my bed it was so dark that it was pitch black you can see the difference because the room was very dark but this thing was darker then tht after tht i froze

  • Skinwalkers were also used as scouts n wartime for the navajo. since apaches are very close relatives to the navajo many of them learned the ways of the skinwalker. i heard geronimo was one. many of the soldiers that encountered geronimo couldnt shoot him because something made it very difficult. If you really want 2 find some i suggest you go searching around at night way in the back by Hogback. look in the caves i suggest. thats what ive heard. they do training down their.

  • I love this music whats the name of it?

  • Thank you very much, I found your video interesting. Thans for sharing it :-)

  • wut is the name of this song?

  • You want information, there is a book titled Navaho Witchcraft (i know, Navajo is with a j, but that how its spelled in the title) by Clyde Kluckhohn... It mostly interviews with Navajo in the 40's or so. Lots of info... I know lots about the yenaldlooshi as well if your interested.

  • I was told to never say the word, "Skinwalker", we were talking about it one night while driving down a dirt road when the car suddenly veered off into a barb wire fence. When we backed it out, the barb wire etched, 666 into the hood. True story. I'm in Oklahoma.

  • The skin walker in our peoples legends is the merge of ones body and the spirit of our guide. It doesn't have to be wolves it can be any animals. Threw meditation and medicine you learn and create a friendship between your guide or guides. You can call upon medicine of your guide in situation of need. The idea of taking the form of a animal I have no opinion on because I don't want to offend anybodys beliefs, but I will say the idea or form of the legend that movies such as twilight create is

  • Brother why do you talk badly of Obama. He has done more for our people then any president has done in along time.

  • im native american from the southwest, i know skinwalkers are everywhere there is evil my friends, look at obama for example there is many clues just need to look there and not be scared because the great spirit and the holy people will wacth you if you say prayers to them in your time of hardshit, fuck the skinwalkers they are scared and when i see them or sense them i chase them, great spirit help us all.

  • I was told a story about a skinwalker seen off old rt 66 near Gallup. While driving east at about 3AM the driver told me he saw a very odd being running on all fours but that it appeared to be human form, it was able to keep up with the vehicle going approx 70MPH. The driver stated he looked at the creature, it looked at him from under a loose skin with no eyes, then ran off into the desert. Once in Gallup he was told it was a skinwalker...weird.

  • Beautiful video. Thank You. I was told as a child, that it's a magical tool that can be used for good or for evil. But it is a mysterious practice that is the "hunter" aspect of nature that is masculine and dominant. A tribe would have to have lived with the earth and animals long enough to know how to summon their spirits and gather their strengths, to know their names to become one with them in form and in spirit. Such powerful knowledge would only be passed within the tribe.

  • You would have to be seriously unbalanced anyway to want to take part in those seriously disgusting rituals. I think that the point is to NOT to become that unbalanced in the first place.

  • Through many people I was told, that they have the power to float above the ground and teleport in another area. Skinwalkers kills their closes relatives to gain greater power or offer sacrifice to the dark side.  They have the power to have their spirit to float across the place to see things they wanted to see in your homes and where you are.

  • I lived on the Navajo reservation as a teen and had a few close calls with skinwalkers. There are not to be messed with, they will learn your habits.. how you sleep, how you walk, how you scream, how fast you are, and once they have that chance. They will kill you.

  • i heard skin walkers were evil things that in their original form crawl on their elbows and that when they come in contact with a person or animal that they can shapeshift into that and also they can posses things when they lck a stare with it and they use fear to keep people from running like many other demonic things

  • AZ bitch

  • Don't fuk wit it stupid shits

  • 2:00..might actually be one. or is a pretty good picture of how one might look.

    

  • Yall may not believe me but my dad grew up in arizona and had a indiana friend and he and his friend came face to face with a skinwalker .... He has proved it to me u dont have to believe me !!!!!!

  • This video about whiteman version on skinwalker is far from the real truth.

    I am sure with a flute music in the background sound like a myth, but hell if you actually get down to the bottom of this and really see how they look is another story.

    To be really be effective Hard-core evil skinwalker, you will be require to take part

    in 6 evil disgusting rituals before you will become total possess into shapeshifter.

    To tell you this even futhere, It will take an hour of your time.

  • @hawkeye142

    Like, i was saying in my video description this is only the legend of the skinwalker, not the real history of the skinwalker. Only the speculative legend of its history. So whether you would like to educate me on it or not it doesnt matter. Just please be respectful

  • @hawkeye142 and which six rituals is that

  • @hawkeye142 Nobody gives a shit.

  • @hawkeye142 Im Navajo(Dine) My Navajo name is Bisahalani and My grandfather and m elders have always told me the stories of the skin walker and your very right there is alot more to it then this and walking around the rez in window rock Az. me and my brothers have seen her before and we got scared and ran home. there nothing to mess around with.

  • Same thing I heard from one elder too. In the olden days, it was only used to fight their enemies, then the people got careless and took it for granted, and started abusing the purpose that it was intended for. And to this day, they use it among themselves to hurt their own people.

  • I was also told that it was used for good too, and that if you practice it, it bring good luck to you, but you can't use your teachings for anything bad. NOW, Getting that type of power I couldn't deal with it.

  • Misleading title, however the slide is cool. I've got lots of skinwalker info, I've been hunting them for awhile now.

  • @raldogtm Practice what? Do tell more what your trying to convey here.

  • A navajo told me about this-I think its some guy in a suit .

  • my grandma use to tell me about her grandfrather how he use to tell her about how he shape shift in to birds crow owl and monkingbird but use it only for good he was a medicine man

  • Horror novel  see video book trailer

  • it was a good thing once, but things changeed after they came back for the long walk.. just like kids when they are little going to school, then grown up. all the see and feel from the white people they considered it a a bad thing. some thought it was a witch, other who knew it didn't like and used it for them self to get what they want.. who started this.. white people just like now. the T.V.'s and video games.. where the storys and tales??

  • Nice slideshow, my father told me that "shape-shifting" was once used as a good thing. For hunting food for our starving people. Mostly used during the Trail of Tears era. Too bad our people took it for granted, now we hear of "skinwalkers" and are scared stiff.

    Keep up the good work :)

  • @themooseisloose1982

    Thanks for the extra info. on shape-shifting. i didn`t know it was originally for good.

  • @themooseisloose1982 it wasnt only used for hunting, it was used to spy on the neighboring "enemies", like where the camp is what they are planning, to send messages to family members afar. So it was used when custer was here. A damn shame that its misused today.

  • @themooseisloose1982 trail of tears wasn't that best known for the Cherokee Tribes of the east/mid east that was forced west?

  • @themooseisloose1982 They're just very corrupt now and I wish that'd change

  • that pic at 1:25 did anybody proove if it was a hoax or what id like some info
