Ya’at’eeh, Here is a throwback for your Friday. Last week we ground corn at our language nest. In the video you can see our caretakers passing on a bit of our culture to our young ones. Songs were sung, and tradition was passed on to our young Diné bizaad speakers. The process of grinding corn happens often at our nest, and children are taught how to grind corn for their morning offering.This is only a glimpse of what we do at Saad K’idilyé to ensure our Diné culture passes onto our next generation. Happy Friday! Ahéhee’
Here’s a throwback to our 2024 Winter Solstice Gala that took place at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center. We had comedy, music, dinner, and a silent auction throughout the night. It was one to remember, and this year we are looking to do it again.![]()
