Navajo Teachings: The Truth About Turquoise

The legends say... turquoise is meant to remind us of our existence in the Blue World.
The Blue World is the second in the teachings of the four worlds. It has a few different names.
The Second World, The Blue World, The Spirit World, and The World With No Surface.
Turquoise is said to offer protection.
To identify to the Holy People, the Five-Fingered beings who know where they come from.
Navajo Historian, Wally Brown, uses his necklace to teach about the symbolism of turquoise.
Wally has had his necklace for decades. It was given to him as payment for some presentations he gave long ago.

    Sounds like my Grandpas story. We are also disconnected from the tribe. And it has taken over half a decade to find information on my Grandfathers parents. His biological father is unknown, his mother though died when he was 9 and he was adopted by a white lady. Sadly we grew up with no tribal knowledge or relations, and lived in a white suburb so we didnt look like anyone. My hope is to get my Grandfather his tribal citizenship before he passes away. He is now 82.

    I have a Din’e cousin who was adopted by my Caucasian aunt and uncle sometime in the 1950s or a bit earlier. They were told, and the rest of my family was told, that he was an “orphan”. They lived out in Phoenix, and most of my family lives in Ohio, so I only got to meet Rusty a few times when they came east to visit my grandparents. I am certain knowing what I know now that the “orphan” thing was a lie and that he was removed from his real parents and given to white parents, as is true for so many Din’e. I don’t know this for an absolute fact, but the odds are that this is exactly what must have happened. I have lost touch totally with that part of my family (that aunt was my eldest aunt and my mom was the next to youngest), and I hope that Rusty is OK. There’s no real way to find Rusty, who would be in his 70s now, because there are a lot of men in Arizona named Rusty Frey. I wish him peace, health, and happiness and a return to his true culture.

    We have three hundred acres out in the bush up in the mountains in Australia. We only took a very small portion for ourselves & our animals all rescues & continue to do wildlife rescue rehab & release mostly kangaroo, wallaroo & wallaby. We consider ourselves honoured to have the opportunity to be stewards of this land. We take nothing give much & have encouraged & suppoirted wildlife by bringing water up the mountainside from the river that runs along the foot of the land. The birdsong is amazing the animals that come out of the bush make us feel like we are living Animal Kingdom episodes. Animals they say are near extinct most certainly are not & all come trapsing through here. lol We see them all & know a few personally at this point. There is a big old Alpha male wallaroo who will take a slice of wholemeal bread right from my hand. In the drought & fires we fed & watered everyone that came out of the bush for assistance & boy did they ever. And we provided. We have never introduced any poisons & are strictly organic. Just biding our time doing what we do in life remotely online as so many do today, minding nature & letting nature mind us. We have very few neighbours but two are nature preserves with no hunting & the other two are farmers & hunters who do kill the wildlife.At least betweenus we offer 2200 contiguous acres of natural terrain with water features, grazing & no trapping or hunting. That's enough to keep a good amount of the wildlife happy without having to go onto traveled roads or near hunters, ranchers or farmers.

The truth of the one god is not exclusively christian, and your bible is about as unique a religious text as all the other unique religious texts. Cease to be a fool discussing the nature of god with those that are not Him, meet their true grace and weep for the damage you've brought to their creation. You disrespect God by professing a man made book can tell you more about god's will than simply watching god's will enact itself upon the world. We have not been the shepherds we were called to be and we are paying greatly for it.

    What he says at the end resonates with me, "The turquoise was not yours, but... it was put into your care." I feel like this about all things in the material world, whether living or inanimate. I look out for the plants and animals in my yard in the same way I care for my car or my tools.

    Years ago 70 years ago. My uncle bought from a trading post a actual real necklace. Big tumbled 6 strands of tumbled sizes were like quarters size but the small beads that hung down was 6 strands of round small beads with white ivory looking beads in between. red ones on the top. It was pawned to the shop and my uncle had to sign a pledge to give back if the owner came back for them. The bone between the turquoise were the fingers of the grand father. Took my uncle almost the rest of his life to find the family. Once he knew what it was, he just wanted to get it back to who owned it. I was 7 or 8 said that should be worth a lot of money. My Uncle was so cool he bent down and said. There are things on this earth worth more than money. I didn't get it a kid remember. He looked down at me and said this is their religion, That's more than money. I am 74 Uncle CN is gone. not forgotten. Thanks teacher.

    My wife is Mongolian and our daughter half Mongolian and it’s fascinating that turquoise and coral have a special significance for them too, in their case I understand that the turquoise is sacred to Father Sky and the coral to Mother Earth. It’s a horse culture (still) and my wife told me her grandmother said that one should not disturb the earth or dig it. Nowadays, mining is going on all over the place, but I remember being on a project and meeting the young Mayor of Tov Aimag ( a central province) a very modern young man. I was with an older Mongolian woman colleague and we were looking at illegal artisanal gold mining. At the end of the conversation the Mayor said the the same thing about his Grandmother’s teaching that my wife remembers from hers. We need this reverence towards our Earth now more than ever

    When I was a child, my great grandmother gave me my first piece of turquoise, a very old little ring. She told me some native people out west believed it was sacred, which I took to heart. I’ve worn turquoise ever since. I’m very disabled now by severe pain. I keep some next to my bed for comfort and peace when the pain becomes very bad. It’s good to learn this from you, as it gives me deeper understanding. Mines wound the earth. The first time is saw the mine in Bisbee, Az, I cried my young heart out for the suffering I felt from that wound.

    Anything that can’t be grown has to be mined. Our quality of life-houses, churches, electricity, products such as baking soda, toothpaste, pencils, computers, cars, bikes, smart phones, glasses, medical equipment, all come from mining. Mining companies in the US are now required to have an environmental service division that deals with reclamation of the land utilized for mining. It often looks better and serves the community. Windmills, electric cars, solar panels etc all require mining materials. So unless everyone wants to just go back and live like cavemen, appreciate what we have and get from this ancient art that’s constantly evolving for safety and better practices.

I'm like the value is the action he took, the flag is just confirmation... I wonder why my mother named me Geronimo, there's so many questions, I feel at home in New Mexico, and the four corners... It's like everything is alive, the sky, the mountains the quiet...

There are more environmentally friendly ways to procure our resources though, like lab growing gems and using nuclear power for our electricity.

As an aside my parents many years ago moved to the northeast and were adopted by a tribe there in Maine. I am not sure what my father did in helping the Tribe but as a gesture of appreciation the chief had prepared, smudged and presented to my parents 2 eagle feathers the wing feather to my father and the tail feather to my mother.

The man turned and walked back into the building, and Rod just stood there, watching the Doves fly throughout the city. After the Vision Quest had ended, Rod's Grandfather asked him what he'd seen, Rod told him everything. His Grandfather told him that at some point in his life he will have to journey to New York City. That he will meet a very important Spiritual Man there. Then and only then will he find True Peace. He told him it will happen, it can't be stopped, it's his life's purpose. It's his "Vision Quest".

    @B D During the time that I knew him, I was the one who needed help, I was pretty lost in a sense. He was just trying to help me figure things out better, to get a different perspective, to find my purpose. He was a pretty quiet guy, a person of few words, but very sincere. He didn't have any drug or alcohol problems either. He was a Navajo, he was very much in control of himself. I believe everything happens for a reason, everything happens according to plan, "The Plan". It just wasn't in the cards so to speak, but I still think it would have been an incredible experience, and I was honored to have been invited by him to actually meet his Grandfather, a Navajo Medicine Man. And I am still honored. God has given us all everything we need for life. It's all right here, right in front of our faces. This entire planet is our Garden. It's literally our "medicine chest". God is speaking to us all, continuously, through "all" of Nature. We are "one" with Nature. Nature is "one" with God. We are "all" One... God... Nature... Us... If we "listen", we can hear. "He" is speaking all the time. Jesus said in Luke 17:20 "the Kingdom of God does not come with your careful observation... The Kingdom of God is "within" you". Acts 17:28 says "for in Him, we live, and move, and have our being". We are all "in Him" and the Kingdom of God is "within" Us. But the "key" to it all is Psalm 46:10 " Be still and know that I am God". To be still. To be quiet. To listen... To go "within". God is in "His Kingdom" and that Kingdom is "within". When we're quiet, when we're still, when we're listening, we're Meditating. To meditate is to go "within" To meditate is to "be still". A Vision Quest is a way to go "within", to be still, to listen, to bypass some of the distractions that keep us from "seeing" and "hearing" the truth. To know "who" we truly are is one of the greatest "Gifts" we can ever receive from Him.

    I appreciate the notion of not taking what mother earth does not give up freely, and something being put into your care and not owned. It reminds me of the attitude I have for hiking of tread lightly. If I want to collect a stone as a reminder of a place I've been, I try to collect only small ones from a place that doesn't disturb anything out of respect. I really appreciate these videos, I'm hopefully moving out to the US to be with my fiancée and it's important I know more about the land I'm on and it's history.

    Yes I learned blue is sacred and a protective color, but had mostly forgotten the rest thank you. I just learned there were some blue people in Kentucky long ago. Remoteness and inbreeding kept them blue for a while but gradually they vanished. Some of the hindu gods are blue, and they consider their legends historical fact. These may be the Blue People spoken of. If so they are an advanced species and Star People. They may have been more involved back when Saturn was our sun. You can research this theory.

I have worn the chunky one a lot and did tonight. The fine one I have only worn a coupe of times. Tonight I made a decision to give the fine one away to my daughter. It’s her birthday coming up and it tells me it is hers.

    If you know the history of the British Isles, Norway invaded the islands long after the Celts were established. So the old Norse way influenced what we have today in Ireland and England. We have blended yet both can be very different. I'm third generation Irish in America from my mother and my father is Irish and Norwegian. I follow some traditional heritage I was taught and what ever servived the Christian raids. Still I'm a simple woman with her own means. But with how long the bloodlines are most modern people can claim a plethora of heritage. Still, be proud of who you are because only you can do what you can. My sincere apologies that this 40+ year old has confused you. I think cracking open a history book or a video from KZread can clear thing up for you on the history part and how the people can be the same yet different in culture. But as for your voodoo and Islam comment, they are different, but the Celtic and Norse people are not as different. But I do have two parents you know and I do take after both sides, my apologies. scandinaviafacts.com/vikings-vs-celts-whats-the-difference/

    True. There is a karmic lesson to learn from native conquest that is the mother goddess is in control of affairs on her earth and favors trade which if you live in a vacuum does not lend itself to the best potential of trade. Trade is gods commerce allowing currency as seeds to be exchanged for goods. Once man introduces his image on the currency it belongs to man and not god. The gold and silver are mine says the Lord. Haggai 2:8. Living in a vacuum also diminishes your world view considerably and then you wouldn’t even know if a tsunami is brewing off the shores of your nations borders.
