Navajo elders believe the spoken word, especially in Navajo, is powerful, and bad words are forbidden. They believe bad thoughts and words turn into reality and inflict physical and emotional pain among families. Thought and speech are inner and outer forms and linked. They say: Bidziilgo' ni'tsinkees, "Guard yourself with strong thoughts," or Nin tse'kees yeego' bidziil doo, "May your thoughts be strong.". Traditionally, to be well spoken in the Navajo language was to be powerful and a sign of inner strength and Bik'eh Hozhoon. The correct words in the correct order in Navajo can bring a person and the world back into Hozhoon.
