    S6, E6, Pt2: Stanford Lake & Ancestral Stories of the Navajo, Part 2
    Apr 18 2024
    When I started Native ChocTalk, my goal was to support others in preserving their Native American ancestral stories. Some of us heard our families telling the accounts of those who came before us, but without preservation, many of those stories are now dust in the wind. I’m proud of my guest and friend, Stanford Lake (Diné) who agreed to share some Navajo history and ancestral stories with us, and I think you will also enjoy! In the final part of this series, Stanford shares about: • His late shicheii (his grandpa), Ned Cly, of the Kinyaa’aanii clan, who was born behind the “Three Sisters” Ned was also recruited a few times to be in John Wayne movie sets! • Bahe Bessie Parrish, his shimásání (grandma), who was a traditional medicine woman • The Long Walk - a dark time in Navajo history • His 3x great grandfather, Chief Hashkéníinii who led his people to safety • The origination of frybread • The Navajo’s 4-clan system • Some inspiration for all you runners out there Stanford would like to promote the following organizations – check them out!

You won’t regret it – it’s a gift you give to your family and your descendants. God bless!
