_Ya'at'eeh_ Love to you from Diné Nation 🕊️ It's wonderful to see my brothers and sisters still making history:)

Vajda is awesome, I had him as a professor! Hes so passionate about everything he teaches

The Ket should revive thier language and culture and make scools nursery and kindergartens with ket speaking elders

you have to get approval from the government & from institutions. you also have to prove that a large number of people speak the language. this is why it is difficult to bring back a culture & language because you need the government's aproval. this is why indigenous peoples advocate for sovereignty so that they can do more than just make their own laws.

The Ket last living shaman died in 1970

My theory goes: The nomadic Ket people are not originally from Siberia, but from Canada. Because they are practically the only Na Dene speakers from other peoples of those regions. Furthermore, the people and language are dwindling into extinction. Whereas, the Na dene speakers of Canada and American SW, thrive in population, language, and cultural traditions. I listened to the Ket Language, and as Navajo (one of 48 known Athabaskan dialects), I did not understand any words or sounds of the Ket people. Wheras, I can understand neighboring Apache dialects of American SW.

Our northern Dene or Denetah people are related to this isolated group of Dene. It is historically recorded that there were 6 or 7 tribes besides the Ket, who were exterminated by Kossack mercenaries payed by a Russian Czar. My Great Grandmother, spoke Athabaskan, she was Porcupine Caribou Gwichin/ Koyukon. She spoke Russian a dialect of Dene and English. She was named after Katherine the Great, one of the Czars. She livid in Old Crow, Canada. Indeed we had contact with Navajo and Apache, although our dialects are different. We can speak to Ket. We travelled back and forth from the Americas into Siberia, SouthEast Asia, Persia, Afghanistan. All points in between.

Great to see you here again, Edi bagsh. Thank you very much for this wonderful talk.

Very interesting! Thanks

bery kewl thanks

Interesting 😺 👍👍👍👍

How about the likeness of the two nations? Likeness of the two peoples.? Basic words, water, run, eat, sky etc.?

The tones, glottal stops, and vowel lengthening is similar to Dine bizaad or Navajo language BUt they do not sound any thing alike

Yes, he is a very bright person @ I agree/my great grandfather said we originally came from the north then our tribes sit due to choice & our trip es scattered due to wars & changes...the truth well said....👄

Holy smoke! A Na-Dene language within Russia!

in the Navajo/Diné migration story, we came from the East & walked West. we passed the Mississippi & the Great Plains. many people is said to have joined the Navajo when they walked West. when they came to the Continental Divide in the US, many groups separated from the Navajo & went their own ways. 2 large groups also went North & South. the South was known as a place that will destroy you, so the group that went South were never seen again. the North is considered a place where the dead travel. our ceremonies do not work in the North because we need the stars & constellations. the Northern group was persuaded to return, but many refused & stayed. some peoples also kept going North, & they were never seen again. the Navajo eventually found Dinétah, or Navajo lands. a prophecy says that one day, our siblings from the North & South will return & all live in Dinétah. another prophecy also says that when all Diné langauges become extinct; when you hear the world say, "Navajo is no longer around," it will be a sign of the end of times. 4 horses will wander to the highest points around around the world, & they will call to each other, signaling the end of times.

You didn't " find " Navajo land your ancestors invaded other tribes with the Apache. You constantly raided villages n fought with Comanche and other tribes that had already inhabited those lands for thousands of years before. Conveniently the government gave you land because your ancestors helped the Spanish invade multiple villages. It all stopped once pueblo revolt happened, because the villages got tired of being Spanish slaves growing cotton & crops. ALL the pueblos joined forces n drove the Spanish out along with your ancestors out of the villages.

Great video But what the professor said about the lack of similarity with other n. Asian languages is not true: the 4 tones of sul that professor demonstrated is exactly the same as modern mandarin which evolved from Manchurian court Chinese which has many Siberian characteristics

Pretty ridiculous to say that these languages, regardless that they're similar, are anything close to being the same and or related. You would need to provide more than just language to say theyre related, and there is absolutely nothing else but similarities in language, which you can also find with Asian languages, so it could be something brought in by Asia rather than a tribe in south west Turtle Island.

I hate the pronunciation of Dené. A Navajo or any other Athabaskan language speaker will give that word proper justice.
