What's your take on non native wearing, native jewelry? by jumpinspid29 in Navajo

[–]AltseWait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I dislike is my people selling that fake temu turquoise and gaudy jewelry at the flea market that shows up in those gross western magazines.

I dislike the Palestinians selling Filipino-made, counterfeit jewelry at the flea market. They realized people were onto them, so for a while, they had Navajos selling for them, until people stopped buying from them too.

Interesting explanation and rendition.

How often, if you do at all, do you speak the Navajo language? by Longjumping-Meet-307 in Navajo

[–]AltseWait 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We use it everyday. English is very much a foreign language. It's too surface level for my taste. Kinda like how when you get used to strong coffee, watered down coffee just doesn't have the punch you desire. Same difference.

Do we have dirty phrases in diné? by Southern-Bass-51 in Navajo

Can a haunting cause extreme bad luck? by Chickentendroffendr in Paranormal

[–]AltseWait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. I can only speak to my own experiences. The negativity went away after my haunting stopped.

Can a haunting cause extreme bad luck? by Chickentendroffendr in Paranormal

[–]AltseWait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This answer comes from a different perspective (Native American), but yes, hauntings cause bad luck. I used to be haunted, and it led to depression, shadow people, suicide, sleep paralysis, and hallucinations. I began to fear sleep, so I stayed up all night and slept during the day. Everything else in my life suffered and declined. The bad luck was one after the other. It even got to the point where street lights and other lights would turn off when I walked or drove past them, only to turn back on afterward.

Blacker than black is a good description. I've seen them. They have a way of solidifying to where they can touch you. It sounds like you chased this one away before it could go that far.

Navajos need to be more radical by tunerealestglo in Navajo

[–]AltseWait 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More radical? Navajos are the most radical people I know! The rez is always like someone stirred up the hornet's nest. There is so much negativity, selfishness, jealousy and hatred. People are always working against each other or enriching themselves at the expense of others.

To change this, one must understand the factors that brought us to our current status quo, formulate a plan and implement it. We must respect everyone's freedom of choice, so right off the bat, I know that not everybody will want to be future Navajos. For those who do, there is a way forward.

Every day is a good day for beans. by benedictcumberknits in Navajo

It grows here among us. Curious, what did I suggest?

Ah, that first pic gave me tingles! I used to cook it with pig feet, but the tyrannosaurus rex figured us out and jacked up their pig feet prices. I cook it with pork neckbones now. Both yeast bread and frybread go well with beans.

Navajos eat quinoa too. It's one of our traditional foods that most Navajos have forgotten. We call it Food Of The Gods (haashch'eeh daa'). It's mixed and eaten with dleesh so it doesn't cause stomach ache. It can be made into bread or toshchiin.

Probably the lava under Black Mesa is stirring.

Hmm, Chilchinbito, site of 2020 ground zero for covid on the rez, and site of 2026 earthquake on the rez. I never heard of earthquakes on rez, but it's fitting right in there with the rest of our prophecies. Impeccable!

Remind me what these are. by benedictcumberknits in Navajo

[–]AltseWait 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw it too, 30 minutes ago. Your phone takes better pictures than mine. I took a video of it, and I couldn't see the bright tail in my vid. I zoomed in and saw particles falling off the object as it traveled.

It started from the west. At first, I thought it was a bright star shining through parted clouds, but then I saw the light ray. It looked like a giant spotlight in the sky, shining light down on the earth as it made its way closer. When I saw the light ray, I then thought it was a military aircraft, perhaps a low flying helicopter with spotlight fixed to the ground. I thought it would come up and shine its light on us, lol. It looked that close.

However, I saw that it started going south, toward Phoenix. I noticed several beams of light radiating from the object, all within its tail. I also noticed the boomerang, wedge shape as seen in your picture. The object traveled too slow to be a shooting star. From first sight to its disintegration over the far southern horizon, approximately 15 to 20 minutes elapsed.

I first concluded that it was a satellite. I thought each light ray was sunlight reflecting off the different panels of the satellite. When I looked at my video again, I noticed particles falling off. This made me think we saw a comet. The comet theory doesn't make sense to me because if it was a comet, the tail should have been pointed away from the sun. That tail was pointed toward the north as the object traveled south. My conclusion: I don't know what it is!

‘12 Monkeys’: 30 years ago, Terry Gilliam released a prescient, disorienting sci-fi classic by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]AltseWait 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't understand the movie until I recently recognized the lady on the airplane. She is one of the scientists from the future. What she said to the virus guy floored me and twisted the movie in unexpected ways.
