SAME. I immediately was like EXCUSE ME?!

But they want to cut them down and sell them once they are big enough to really suck up a good dose of carbon each year.

I read it as she was the first navajo woman, which really led to other questions

I mean, the same could just be reworded then, no? Maybe “First-Ever Woman Speaker” to avoid the phrase “First Woman” and the use of female.

That I want America to do better? Yes.

Navajo politics in the past… 😬 I’ve never been bothered to look into it but I know it’s been rife with some corruption most notably embezzlement. Now I feel a lot of this new blood has been decent but I just couldn’t say because obviously I know nothing. With what opinions you hold, they’ve been pretty strict with COVID restrictions but that may be due to a pretty morbid start for the Navajo nation in the beginning stage. Also, it’s a dry Nation and I’ve never been fond of that kind of governance. :( …I don’t know about other tribes either but I’m just speaking from experience. Sorry I’m high but what I’m saying is as a Navajo person myself I don’t want them ruling the country no thank you 🤣 let’s please just leave it to educated people which would totally include Native Americans by golly I’ve met some incredible NA college graduates.

And yet trees are nearly free.

Or they wanna carve a bunch of peoples faces in the side of a mountain.

Is that allowed?

You're right, and I appreciate sharing your thoughts. I should be more careful with cultural context. Thank you.

Like some demigod with eternal life that has outlived all other Navajo women.

I was under the impression that Náhleeh and Dilbaa simply meant feminine man and masculine woman respectively, men and women who are gender-nonconforming. Is this incorrect?

Before her the speakers were all oddly white women.

Interesting that you should “ask.” First Woman, though not this specific first woman, was at first solely a spiritual being. She and First Man sort of made themselves bodies and then made themselves human.

Can somebody tell me about the first woman myth in Navajo mythology

Yeah, that does actually (surprisingly). How did woman become the primary gender, and what are the other 4? o.o

...How are the mods? If I'm gonna get burned, let me know now so I can have the cream ready.
