Theme: DINÉ BIKÉYAHDI NIHIŁ HAZ’Ą́ĄGI BEE NIHIDZIIL  / OUR PLACE IN THE DINÉ HOMELANDS IS OUR STRENGTH

We believe that as the land is transforming and we feel the impacts of climate change upon our homelands, it is imperative for us to strengthen our bond with the land. Diné k'ehjí, when we introduce ourselves, we always include where we are from. This act establishes our connection to the sacred mountains and to our people between them. It is upon us to continue to defend and protect our sacred homeland. It is also imperative that we continue to learn the history and stories of our homeland so we continue to honor this space.
