WHAT THE HELL!? and spade795: navajos dont make shzz better! they copy and yu guys expose to much stuff!

@billieder I don't know much about Diné culture but from what I do know this would make sense that they would have a dance to honor the harvest. To say it has died out during the time of European influence on the culture is no supprise so it's very possible, that's why I put a lot of belief in your post. I imagine the dance may have been bought or gifted from the Pueblos which is why people are noticing a lot of Pueblo influence? Sorry if I offend anyone, just sharing my thoughts.

well maybe you have not got the privilege to be thanked in Most people's casual tongues. um yeah they will all say thank you the popular way everywhere, but in most homes across Dinetah, in there comfortable languages, people speak a lil different...
-
Naw, you got your facts wrong. The beardance does not use a live actual bear, its just a celebration and gathering to honor the bear spirits by dancing, singing, and food. An us Northerners us the gaan way as well. so if you don't know what were about, don't be telling me what i should believe.

@kinlichini23 What is a Gaan dance? thats Apache! and Bear Dance? Navajo fear bears and thus we dont deal with them or try to imitate them!...they are dangerous and strong medicine..........only certain initiated people can utiliize their power in certain ceremonies.....you got ur facts all wrong........
-
@kinlichini23 we have SUBTLE differences in our language....what you have listed sound more like Apache....Ive been ALL over the reservation...NEVER have i heard "thank you" said in any other way EXCEPT Ahe'hee!
-
Oh yes, Beautiful dance, My grandmother use to tell me about those dances, they dont have them anymore up here, The Mormons tried to erase our ways and traditions, but the schools are now teaching these dances to our youth again. They are also teaching the ways of the Gaan and bear dances our people lost long ago...
-
ex, saying thank you In Navajo in 3 different ways...
Northern-Ahoo, Aheheeh
Central-Ahehe
Western-agonozho,Ashguale,
eastern-athehee
Southern-ahehhe, aahshonok
C, all Navajo are not the same, so deal stop hating and move on...

Real Dine people dont hate other tribes. Real Dine people love all creations from the holy ones. I am Navajo, but my clan is from the Zia pueblo, I am also part Ute, so i Bear dance with my relatives spring to fall. I am also N.A.C., which doesn't belong to any tribe. Not all Dine people are the same. Northern and southern Navajos have slightly different languages & ceremony's, like these corn dancers. try to compare A Colorado River Indian tribes Navajo to a Ramah Navajo, there different!
-
Sheesh, who are all these people arguing about who they think tribes should be or have... no tribe is perfect, there are many tribes with the same or different beautiful songs and dances. The Dine Nation is one of the biggest in the U.S., and they have many Different Navajos with Different traditions. Some are part Pueblo, Ute, Apache, And Hopi, and they carry on their traditions on Dinetah. Us Northern Dine have alot of Ute, Jicarilla & we are taught to love all our relations,

Navajo Harvest Dance? Looks mor like something a BYU graduate dreamed up. Costumes look like a combination of Apache and Hopi, the singers also look like they are from different tribes. Have never seen a Dine' drum like that, and I have participated in a lot of Dine' ceremonies.

No matter where it came from, Navajos made it better! Thats what makes us a great holy nation. We bring out more medicine from it.
