Singing Shi Naasha
20 Days of the Tonalmachitl
in Tlamanalco Chuk'son
Kii'yaa'nii is singing a traditional Navajo song about returning home. The name of the song “Shi Naasha” meaning “I am walking.” This song is very powerful, our ancestors were forced on the Long walk. Our ancestors who survived walked back home and saw our powerful mountains and began to sing this song as they returned home to the Mother land. This is just a short little history on this traditional song that Kii’yaa’nii is singing.
