[Em] My name is Red Milla, [F] Cody, [C] and I am of the [F] Red Ochre Cheek [C] Clan, [G] also known as the Red
Bottom People Clan.
[Am] Ya-t'eh.
[C] Ya [F]-t'eh.
Joe [C] and Justin.
Can you tell [F] us more about that word?
[G] How do you pronounce that?
You say [C] ya-ah.
Ya-ah.
Ya-ah.
T'eh.
[Am] T'eh.
Ya [C]-t'eh.
Ya [F]-t'eh.
Ya-t [C]'eh.
And that's a [F] greeting.
It's just our way [C] of [G] saying it is good.
It's beautiful.
[Am] So we were making food [C] the other night.
Can you [F] tell us a little bit about [C] what we were making and what [F] the history is behind that [G] food?
So we had some mati [C]'i, which was intestines wrapped around the sheep fat, and [Em] we had corn,
which is a [F] very essential part of [C] our culture.
We [F] had tikka adeze, [C] which I learned from my grandma to [G] make the tortillas over [Am] the open
[C] fire on the grill.
[F] The fire [C] is, you know, we perceive [F] the fire as our [G] grandpa or grandma.
[C] So she-he-won.
[Am] [C] Uh-oh.
[F] [C] We view [F] in the D'nes [C] society [G] ourselves equal with nature, with [Am] everything that we [C] coexist
with in this [F] world, from the sun, [C] him, mother earth, [F] to yad-he-he-hit-ra, [G] father sky, [C] you
know, to these beautiful rocks here.
There's [D] life.
You know, we have to [D] be respectful, and [C] we've lost a lot of that respect, you know, in our
society [Em] because we are constantly [F] taking, taking, taking, [C] taking from the earth.
[F] My grandmother was [C] an amazing [G] woman, and I learned a lot from her.
She [Am] really stressed and [C] emphasized to me the [F] importance of k'eh.
[C] And k [F]'eh is kinship.
[G] K'eh is community.
[C] So it's never just me.
My grandmother [Am] taught me, you don't just say [C] me, me, me, me, [F] me.
You [C] think for all [F] your people.
Even when I [C] said yad-he, I [G] acknowledged yad, the [Am] father sky, [C] ah, [F] na'asan [C] hima, mother earth,
[F] [G] all that is here.
[C] A part of our culture has always involved [D] taking enough [C] but also putting back.
So we have to remember that we have to be respectful [Em] even to each other, [F] to each other.
Growing up [C] as a Dineh, [F] N'ahyetheh, [C] Dineh, meaning Navajo, [G] N'ahyetheh, African American,
was very [Am] difficult because I was [C] different and [F] because of the color of my skin, [C] obviously.
But [F] my grandma would tell [G] me, you know, binti ya [C] daht, kehe ya dineh, stanen leh, let him [Am] talk.
You are a [C] Navajo woman, and [F] be proud of who you are.
[C] The holy people made us [F] who we are, and we had [C] no choice in our making.
[G] And k'eh kinship does not discriminate.
[Am] It's about [C] the wholeness, it's about [F] the community, it's [C] about the strength that [F] lies in that.
[G] Being there and supporting each [C] other and loving each other and helping each other.
[Am] And also we have, we [C] believe in our Dineh [F] philosophy of walking in [C] beauty, to [F] strive
towards [Dm] walking in beauty [C] before you, behind you, [F] below you, [D] above you, [C] and through the
words that you share with those you come in contact with.
