What does a Noruz Haft Sin on the Navajo Nation look like?
💐Norooz| Nowruz | Noruz Pirooz💐
.
It's the Persian New Year and the beginning of Spring 🌱☘ This special holiday happens precisely at the vernal equinox. (By the way, many countries celebrate today, so I want to wish everyone a Happy New Day)
.
Friends and families alike have been celebrating for centuries dating back to the ancient Mesopotamian civilization and the Persian Empire.
.
Around this time families go into deep cleaning mode, and the Wednesday before Noruz, those who are able jump over bonfires for good health, and set up the Haft Sin. This is a table dedicated to represent good things for the new year items that start with Persian letter "س":
🌱Sabzeh (سبزه): Sprouting /Grass: the symbol of rebirth and growth (green grass or Sabzi, wheat/lentil sprouts) - I substituted with basil on the rez

🍎Seeb (سیب): Apple: the symbol of beauty.
🧄Seer (سیر): Garlic: the symbol of health and medicine.
💐Sonbol (سنبل): Hyacinth: the symbol of spring's arrival.
🪙Sekkeh (سکه): Coin: the symbol of wealth and prosperity.
🏺Somagh (سماق): Sumac: the color of sunrise
.
And the staples:
🥚Tokhm-e Morg Rangi (تخممرغ رنگی): Eggs: the symbol of fertility.
🔍Ayina (آینه): Mirror: the symbol of self-reflection.
🔥Shem'a (شمع): Candle: the symbol of enlightenment.

"I believe Native youth should engage in land protection work with Bears Ears because it is our responsibility as the next generation to defend the lands our ancestors and relatives have fought for, lived on, and loved since time immemorial. These have always been our sacred lands— those to which we have traced our creation, our songs, our stories, our families.
.
As a Diné woman, I, along with countless others, retain ancestral ties to the Bears Ears area. When I visited, the power and history in the landscape was evident, and the Summer Gathering provided the perfect opportunity to center and immerse myself in the enduring beauty of Bears Ears alongside fellow Indigenous peoples and allies.
.
I encourage all Indigenous youth, not just those that can trace ancestry to the monument, to get involved in protecting these sacred lands through advocacy, storytelling, elevating the voices of those who inhabit the area, supporting grassroots organizations and Indigenous-led campaigns to protect and preserve, and educating their local communities across the country about the importance of defending Indigenous and ancestral lands."

Singer/songwriter Raye Zaragoza, of Akimel O'otham descent, sings her original song: "Driving to Standing Rock". Raye Zaragoza is a Akimel O'otham/Mexican/Taiwanese singer-songwriter who was born and raised in Manhattan, New York.
.
Her obsession with music started as an infant listening to her father’s Mariachi music and at the age of five that obsession magnified into begging for Jewel’s “Pieces of You” album for Christmas. Raye moved out of her family’s home and began writing songs as a way to cope with insomnia. She has been voraciously writing songs ever since.

Nowhere else in the world will you be able to see all-female contestants hoop dance for the people, for the prize money, and for the title; this is the place. Hoop dancing is a form of storytelling through dance. An Indigenous hoop dancer uses hoops to create shapes as they move to the drum. The hoops represent animals, symbols and designs and are sometimes put together to make spheres (basic knowledge for some but new for some visiting this video for the first time). The 2019 competition tomorrow and the winners announced same day, oh the suspense!!

A descendent of the Tarahumara people, Artson (Tarahumara) recognized the connection between hip-hop and indigenous culture. “Graffiti is like the ancient petroglyphs, DJing and breakin’ are like the fire and the circle we used to dance around, and the MCs are the chanters telling the modern-day story,”. his unique style takes Hip Hop to a new level with the indigenous flute to beatbox and fuse the two worlds together.
