What did the Navajos have to do in the womanhood ceremony?
The Kinaaldá is a four day ceremony. They are still held. On the first morning her mother combs her hair with a traditional grass cob in the family hogan facing the door in the east and ties it in a simple pony tail with buckskin. She sings her first prayer (about 30 minutes) . She puts on traditional ceremonial clothing, a dress made of a Navajo rug sewn at the sides with a hole for the head. She puts on jewelery of turquoise and white shell and other gems. Also, moccasins and leggings. She then has her first run. She runs as far as she can to the east and then runs back to the hogan. She will do this three times a day (dawn, noon, sunset) for three days. She can only eat things made of corn and not salt for the four days. The first night of the ceremony, she will be has to sit straight up with her legs straight out in front of her for the entire night '. While she sits this way, men in her family will sing more prayers. They will sing throughout the night and into the dawn while the young woman remains seated.
Next day she starts preparing the 'alkaan which is a large cornmeal cake baked under ground. She has to grind all the corn into meal over the first two days. She is given special stirring sticks from her mother. She digs a hole four feet across and one foot deep for the cake. Men make the fire. When the batter is ready the hole is lined with corn husks and the batter is put in and covered with husks and it is cooked over night. The cake is cut from the east in circular direction. Everyone there gets little bit of the cake. The central parts of the cake are given to the most respectable members of the tribe like the girl's grandmother and the medicine man who actually organizes the Kinaalda.
Each day the women mold her body symbolically with a motion like kneading clay so she will grow tall, thin and attractive. She is turn does this to younger children.
The ceremony is lead by a hataałii ( singer, medicine man). The first kinaalda was for Changing Woman (Asdzą́ą́ Nádleehé) marking the bringing of fertility back into the world. Most of the stories and prayers have to do with that and with identifying with her.
Sunset on the third night marks a new stage in the ceremony, characterized by all-night singing and symbolic praying with corn pollen. The fourth day of the ceremony is interspersed with many more traditional Navajo songs. The girl's hair and jewelry are washed with yucca root, she runs to the East once again at sunrise, and the cake is distributed to all those that have come to perform. Between nearly every segment of the ceremony, songs are performed. In several cases, the girl leaves for a period of time as this happens. Finally, the ceremony concludes with the combing of her hair, the painting of her body with white clay, and the molding of her body outside the hogan.
A sand painting is a painting on a clay pot. This is known as fine art.
What is the Navajo translation of white men or non-Navajo peoples?
Bilaganna is white man.
It is used like Gringo or Anglo (or "gaijin" in Japanese) to mean any non Navajo (Dine"). It is said that it comes from the Spanish- "americano". There are not many words that Navajo borrows from other languages. More commonly they make up a new one. For example: chidi = car for the sound chidi chidi of early model t's. So, I'm not so sure if that is true. Most words that are borrowed sound more like them. Example: beso from peso for money.
What program does Square-Enix use to make their art?
Square Enix use numerous types of software to implicate their CGI and Game Design. Originaly, for the original Final Fantasy Games, they were written in the specific console propriety assebly code format.
Today however, is completely different as a few years ago they developed their own personal game engine called Crystal Tools (which is unavailable to the general public or other companies [Unless bought for several million pounds or more]).
When it comes to the CGI, they have used (not sure if they still do) Maya Software, which is one of the leading industry based animation software. There is also 3D Max Studio: each of which is incredibly expensive, yet well worth the purchase. For their actual concept designs and wallpapers, etc, I believe they use Photshop, Adobe After Effects and Illustrator; as these are the leading brands at the moment.
They also use a lot of DirectX within their CGI.

How do you spell my land in Navajo?
"Shikéyah" = my land or country
"Diné Bikéyah" = Navajo land
"nikéyah" = your land or country
"nihíkéyah" = our land or country
Béésh Łigaii Bikéyah" = Argentina ( silver country)
"Bitsiighaʼ Łichííʼí bikéyah"= Ireland ( red haired country)
" bi" means it's or his or theirs . kéyah means country or land but this sort of noun in Navajo must always be part of a possessive, it must belong to something in the grammar, so you can't say it on it's own. The little marks that are above some of the vowels mean it is high tone. Navajo has tones like chinese. Sort of sing it a little higher and put a little more emphasis on it. The L with a line through it is hard for English speakers. Welsh has a similar sound. It is like a "L" but you use no voice but breathe through and around the "L" tongue position like you would with a "th" sound.
How do you clean Navajo sand painting?
Cleaning a Navajo sand painting requires great care to preserve its intricate designs and cultural significance. Typically, you would avoid using water or any cleaning agents, as these can damage the artwork. Instead, gently brush the surface with a soft, dry brush to remove loose sand or dust. It's best to consult with a professional conservator who specializes in Native American art for proper care and maintenance.
Is the preacher Ernest Angley still alive?
He certainly is alive and healtier than anyone I've ever seen at his age (I believe 84 or 85). His ministry that's based in Akron Ohio keeps expanding as it sends missionaries around the world and broadcasts his program even into China. I received a miracle for my spine when he prayed for me years ago. God completely healed my damaged spine and I'm still good today. It was actually a bit unbelieveable at the time, but I certainly don't doubt anymore that God can use someone with a lot of faith like Ernest Angley to pray for others. He seems to really live what he preaches and doesn't live in luxury. Check out his website for more information: ernestangley.org
What is the Navajo word for remember?
"Ã�éjÃlniihgo" means "to remember it" or "remembrance. "Bénáshniih" means "I remember." The common root is "niih."
to remember : énáshniih
to remember a series of events or names: nibééhéshniih
Áhóót'įįdígíí bénááshnii' --- "I remembered what happened."
That was due to an old rule in baseball that doesn't exist anymore. If a game was tied after the fifth inning and it started raining and the umpires decided that play could not continue, the game was considereda no contestas far as wins and losses were concerned but not as far as a player's statistics were concerned. So whatever the player did in the game (hit a home run, made an error, struckout, etc.) would be counted towards his yearly stats. If a similar situation arose today, the game would be restarted at a later date at the point that the umpires called it.
What did the Navajo celebrate?
Navajos have religious healing and blessing ceremonies called Chantways or Sings. There are about 60 in three large categories. They are usually performed on a as need basis. They are held for blessing a house, first menstruation, a babies first laugh, many kinds of sickness or breaking taboo, contact with death, for those back from war, etc. They usually last from 1 to 4 to 9 days. The overall point is to restore Hózhǫ́ which means approximately what all these English concepts put together in to one idea: Beauty, order, harmony, peace, balance, the good, and health. Family and friends and clan relatives gather for these events. Having people come increases it's effectiveness. At the end often everyone eats together. After one there is a public dance. There are no traditional celebrations that are held every year at a certain date.
Today, as well as these celebrations or ceremonies, people go to pow wows and various regional Navajo Nation Tribal Fairs and celebrate Christmas and Thanksgiving and Veterans day parades and other US holidays. Those who are one of the many Christian denomination or traditional and christian both often celebrate in church. Those who are Native American Church followers go to the all night ceremonies.
