Excellent teacher. ❤

I learned how to weave from her and her sister Lynda at Heard. They teach weaving so well and they go above and beyond. I am so grateful. What they taught to me sticks in my mind. I’m Navajo and enrolled in their Indigenous student course. There are also myths about weaving that need to be dispelled. They teach that the traders and other colonizers are over-represented in influencing Navajo weaving and that the bloody history behind some designs and weaving itself also needs to be remembered especially by aspiring and bold weavers. There were kidnappings, enslavement, and many bargainings of Indigenous lives in Navajo weaving history. Ahéhee láa.❤❤❤

What a beautifully calm language

I substitute teach at a middle school on the East Coast. We did a reading on the Code Breakers for 6th grade English-Language Arts. I played this video for them. I live in Red Lion, PA. Pennsylvania Dutch is a spoken language and difficult in the sense that it is not a written language. Even if it is written down like for church - it is written in active voice.

Very, very interesting. We can learn many, many things from all Native. That's true.

More like a Japanese person pretending to speak German

Meanwhile, in Japan....: *notes are being taken*

The reason Navajo sounds like that is because Native Americans originated from Siberia during Pangea they travelled the land bridges and made they’re way to what we know now as Canada, America, and Mexico (That is why we have Canadian natives, native Americans, and Mayans, and Aztecs are Mexican natives) But if you notice we all carry the same facial features and deep bone structure (same as the people that actually live in Siberia today) And so Navajo is south in what was Mexican territory (which Mayans and Aztecs spoke Mixteco and various languages) and when mixed with actual Native American language adds a different sound to it Kind of like Portuguese to Spanish However I am not 100% sure that is why Navajo sounds like that but from my own experience and my own language Sioux and Assiniboine i recognized 1 word immediately and got goosebumps cause I thought I didn’t understand Navajo but we are all related so I guess not to crazy

Your sentence "The reason Navajo sounds like that is because Native Americans originated from Siberia..." is just linguistically bad. Any language sounds the way it sounds because of a number of often random phonetical changes that occur and accumulate over the years and it has little to do with how it sounded 30 000 years ago (French, for example, sounds very different from Latin that was spoken just 1 500 years ago). Moreover, your sentence sort of implies that we know how the language of the "Proto-Native-Americans" sounded like 30 000 years ago (which we don't), otherwise I just don't really understand what it means.
