Yá'át'ééh shik'éí dóó shidiné'é! 🪶 Ever wonder why Navajo introductions sound like a beautiful family tree? 🌳 Or why knowing your "4 clans" is basically your cultural GPS?

🗺️ Join us for a 2-part hands-on youth workshop to dive into the power of K'é (Kinship). This isn't your average history lesson; it’s about discovering who you are & where you come from. What’s in it for you? 🤔

❤️ Find Your Identity: Master your formal introduction (Yá'át'ééh!) & represent your family with pride
🧠 Learn WHY: The matrilineal (mom’s side!) system makes Navajo culture so unique
🤝 Connect & Vibe: Meet other Diné youth, share stories & learn from Young Elder Mentors that keep Navajo traditions alive

Whether you know all four of your clans or you're just starting to ask questions, this space is for YOU. 🫵

Come for knowledge, stay for the community & leave with a deeper connection to the Diné way of life. 🪶
