Yes.

Washington Whiteskins.

Washington Yellowskins.

Washington Blackskins.

Washington Brownskins.

Doesn't seem right to me.

I was planning to walk back home but after further reflection I feel I should focus my return on giving back to my community.

And yes, I am that man.

No.

Health epidemics, deflated economy, rampant corruption, over-dependency on outside things means we would probably be doing more harm than good.

But I do feel that way sometimes. (not the Amish part).

To me, it's about remembering how much pain and strife our ancestors went through to secure our right to continue living independently. They continued because of the culture, and how it emphasized family and relations among everyone through the clanship system. Everyone helped each other out and that is how I feel we can continue to apply the Long Walk to our lives.

In this regard, I do not believe there is any difference between a Navajo living in the Nation to one living in an urban area, as both seem to have forgotten why we have clans in the first place. We all need to make the effort, and to demonstrate to each other that it is no longer shameful to speak and express yourself in the Navajo way - traditional, Christian, or any other personal belief doesn't need to conflict.

Yá'át'ééh!
