:Chatter I guess that was a compliment......

Was he still talking about how he used to live up North?? I remember the talk from last year..... :Chatter

[redmann]

jaye begaye is a wannabe northern indian lol. chippewa cree sounded way better than thunderhouse!!!what happened there???

[Mr Bo Jangles]

jaye begaye is a wannabe northern indian lol.

....I concur. He means well I guess....he just tends to lay it on too thick.

What I hate is that KTNN, the Navajo Tribal radio station always calls on him to talk about things related to powwows, and hell.......I'm Navajo, but, dang....I heard some seriously WAY OFF stuff comin' outta his yapper more than once.

...juss makes ya wanna get up and come up side his head with a metal folding chair. GAAAAAAH!

naw....I guess we can ignore him and forgive him for his overly zealous behavior.

He obviously loves what he does very much, and does what he can to show as much respect for it.....I won't hold that against him.

..but, I still say he lays it on too thick sometimes.
LMAO!



I dunno. To me, no Northern drums really stuck out or sang anything that really caught my ear. I dunno.....it's just me and my damn ears I guess. LOL!

[Tradish_Mom]

Had a great time!

I would like to commend the NNF Powwow committee for putting up a great powwow this weekend. It seems like everything just feel into place. The weather cooperated this year (usually we are fighting in the mud) and lotsa excellend singing and dancing took place. Thanks Kaye and Cletis for working so hard to put WR back on the map.... see ya at Sky City.

[Mr Bo Jangles]

One thing I kinda took issue to was Russell Standingrocks claim that the Navajos in the Four Corners are the SAME as the DENE of Canada.

We're of the same linguistic family....Athabaskan, along with the Apaches...but, there are absolutely NO CULTURAL SIMILARITIES between the DENE and the DINE'.

If we went up there, they wouldn't understand us, and we sure as hell wouldn't understand them. Their culture is WAY different from our own. THen I had some lady in the audience trying to convince me of some hair brained story about how we're not supposed to meet those peoples from up there, how they're our relatives and stuff.

I was like..........uh huh....yeah, keep yappin' lady. Am I the only person that's aware of the delegation of Navajo medicine men and women, accompanied by the late Dr. Annie Dodge Wauneka, and various council members that went to Canada to see our supposed relatives. Comparisons we're done, cultural, linguistic etc.........they found no similarities whatsoever. Our cultures are distinct....they're a different people.....and I sure as hell don't claim them as any kind of DINE'.

[kamikaze_yazzie]

I think Chippewa Cree missed a grand entry roll call...

[redmann]

gatherings also seems to always call on him????he's not northern!he tries to hard to be northern.

dont know if they missed roll call or not, but they sounded better than that other group!just my opinion.but the powwow flowed nicely.just had a cheap mc to.
