For the Navajo people, introducing yourself is about more than just telling someone your name, it's about sharing where you come from.Where you "come from" isn't just the location of where you live, but more what defines you. For the Navajo people that comes from their clans.The Navajo people's way of life revolves around kinship or K'é, which arises from familial and clan relationships. (x)
When it comes to clans in Navajo, there are a few things to keep in mind. For one, Navajo clans are exogamous, meaning members of the same clan cannot marry one another. Additionally, each clan is associated with a particular animal, plant, or geographic feature, which is considered to be that clan’s ” protector.” (x)

DARK WINDS IS BACK
Season 2 of Dark Winds just started! If you like mysteries (somewhat gritty, but not as gritty as the Philadelphia Flyers' mascot), this is a mystery show starring a primarily native cast. Tons of actual Navajo dialogue. It's on AMC (not easily streamable, but if you have a cable subscription or YouTube TV, you can record it), and you've got to get on it. I'm not very clever when it comes to gif-making or the like, so I'll just say this is exactly the type of show that I would like to see more of in terms of its use of native languages. I am so delighted it's back!
