Native American (Navajo) Medicine Bundle.
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- In this week's Video... Navajo Historian, Wally Brown teaches about the Medicine Bundle.
The medicine bundle along with other items were important and needed to be carried.
And before pockets there were bags and pouches.
These were fashion items.
And our Diné borrowed them from other people and improved on the design.
Of course we have to include the clothing. Womens and mens. These items that are well known as "Traditional" today have a strong influence. Mostly from the wives of the military men at the prison camp.
Enjoy the video.

Thank you for this lesson Grandfather Wally. You are a National Treasure with all of the knowledge, stories, lessons and customs you share so sincerely with us all. You are appreciated. ❤
~ APRIL LIPKE
There are those that use what supposed to be natural and pure for their own power! I know this because one of my relatives was given these sacred things and uses it to curse other! Like Wally said there different influences out in th world! I always pray for these individuals and the Creator and holy ones are already aware of their doings! It’s is a beautiful but man can change it as well.
Thank you.
Anyone got the SPELLING of these words, like what the bags called,etc.
If you go to visit one of the Narions or Reservations, they don't mind helping you with these questions. I wish I knew too. I'll have to wait until I return for another visit.
This is not for you to have or make. He makes it sound simple, but it’s complicated and can kill you if you don’t know how to take care of it.
Thank You father Wally. Wisdom is passed on.
Thank you and much respect for your traditions and culture. Blessings.
Cultural absorption, it’s my new phrase. As we learn things from each other. Spanish weaving became beautiful Navajo rugs. Sharing culture enriches all our lives.
Learning from eachother is basically the human super power. One must use it carefully and responsibly, of course, but denying it is to deny what it means to be human.
Not always easy to navigate, of course, but that's also why elders and history are so important.
Not always
Yes! It is about true balance. Unwilling creates unwanted imbalances on many levels. We are all linked whether we like it or not. I have Cherokee and Nordic German Viking blood my kids grandmother was native Blackfoot Sioux. Skin color is only skin deep… we are all human and amazing to be held with our internal souls. Cultures are very diverse but in reality are truly melting together with many commonalities as humans evolve and realize who we really are. I see you.. your soul is your truth.
The mere introduction of horses on the continent quickly caused cultural adaptions. Proto horses DID exist on the American continents in ancient times but they vent extinct alongside the megafauna and was never domesticated. In Asia, northen Africa and Europe horses wasn't rideable at first causing the the need to invent the chariot until they where breeded to size and strengh to be ridable.
@@michaelpettersson4919 Your information is a bit outdated. Go look at the new research showing that Plains Natives rode horses before Europeans even arrived. Turns out that horses were not fully wiped out in North America.
I have learned so much about the Dine from this gentleman. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for your time and for teaching us. Always so interesting. You have a beautiful granddaughter! Tell her Hello! 😁
Each lesson is so appreciated.....Grandfather Wally. I feel honored to hear your words and learn what you have to teach us. It is a miracle that Native culture's have survived and are rising again because the Traditional Ways are Time tested while our modern lifestyles and disregard for the land have caused many problems of isolation, pollution and plastic.
Culture should always be shared ... for danger of being lost ... Language , ceremonies , stories ... all are related to one another and cannot be undone . Thank you, you the elder , and you , the grandson , for filming and sharing these wisdoms ! SUCH great teachings of how the (European) world once was . I'm impressed by how much (Deneh) knowledge has been preserved despite all that happened ! I hope to see more to learn .
I am very grateful to you, Grandpa Wally. You have helped me through difficult times and I highly appreciate you. I pray that you receive more blessings and all the support that you may ever need. I love and respect you. Thank you.
So very interesting, meaningful ... and more and more important as we move forward. Thank you both.
Thankyou Wally Brown, all these things you're teaching us are invaluable. You guys should think about putting together a book, preserve this knowledge in another format.
I hope they do as well
My mother had a bundle but I dont know what happen to it by my brothers after she passed away
Thank you wiceman!! Historical informations!! I feel Big rispect for your people!! Wise,good,earth loveing people!!👌👍☀️
It’s nice to hear the proper pronunciations of our Diné words
Great video great history of one of the finest cultures
Much respect, you are wise man. Thank you
I have to speak after reading some comments.
1) teachings have not ever been shared as grandfather Wally is publicly.
2) Anything anyone is interested in making of sacred teachings would be recommended to ask with prayer from the heart and presented to an elder or grandfather Wally. EACH PIECE has powerful meaning and usually is created after being taught. This is a very personal walk spiritually. If you do not understand or know how to honor the medicine, what will you do with each sacred piece involved.
I mean no disrespect to anyone!
I encourage each person to pray and ask first. If you want to walk the path, all your personal medicines will come when it is time.
Some may disagree with my comment.
I believe Grandfather Wally is sharing for a much larger reason which has not been revealed to me yet.
As he has spoken earlier: this is a very disciplined walk every day., it is also filled with some greatest joy you could ever experience. You learn who you are and your relationship with creator first.
Blessings to all
Denise- some elders believe that time is of the essence and that's why they're opening up more and sharing these things more publicly. In a world filled with much duplicity and denial people are searching for the truth... if these things are strong and true I don't think shedding some light on them should end up being a problem. As you are probably aware the medicine sort of has a way of protecting itself as the weak and unworthy are often pushed out through metaphysical means... a ho mitakuye oyasin...pilamaya
@@redbear4027 I think that maybe they also recieved intructions that at some point în time they should speak if they saw certain signs. Like talking about prophecies and all kinds of knowledge. I keep thinking how beautiful we couldve lived if their knowledge was taken into consideration and adopted instead of being almost destroyed. Because they have teachings that many countries dont have and those missing parts are so important.
@Miyaiun Mitakuye Oyasin. I've spent enough time with Native Americans to not idealize them. I judge virtually everyone as an individual. America has broken over 400 treaties with these people, and that's wrong.
@@redbear4027 I know we are all humans subjected to error. What I was talking about was their teachings. Most " White teachings" lack the respect towards everything that was created. It is mentioned but there arent ceremonies that are for those purposes/ or they are very sporadic and only în times of need.We are not taught to walk în unity with rhe whole nature wherever we may go, not în the way that it was taught în the tribes. Before Roman empires wars and a few others and before Christianity, many "whites" still had a real closenes and appreciation to nature. But after that, well..we all know what happened. We can see what happens when you are taught that only humans have spirit and everything around you is just for you to use however you please. Yes, I know tribes în America had their wars and those în South America, some of them did real baad stuff. But în North America they had that respect for nature, they took what they needed and helped everything they could. Anywho, its a tragedy what has happened and I am glad it will never happen again because în the forth world there will be no suffering allowed. Or better said there will be no evil.
@Miyaiun I need to sing and dance more. You are speaking of the past, and you have utopian ideas. Do you know why Arawak had to leave South America? They had to completely outstripped their resources, and the population had swelled so much that they sent their children in Dugout canoes to find new land. Lucky for the children, they found Puerto Rico Jamaica Cuba Etc... I am not a utopian. I am a pragmatist. In a world that is mostly lost, I find it very difficult to connect with many human beings no matter what tribe they come from... I'll come up like this... but first, I just wanted to extend some love and hugs and good energy towards you... I listen to your thoughts, and I see your points as thoughtful and worthy. The goal of the Philosopher's is not to "win" but to get closer to the truth.
You're welcome to sit with me into the ceremony anytime. Pilamaya
My great grandma. Was the only daughter of a chief. Escaped trail of tears while passing through alma Arkansas. with help from my great grandfather[military] and others. brought to Texas. Given baptism name of Alma. In Texas. And the rest is history. I’ve heard many of these stories and a lot of this wisdom from my grandfather growing up.
He always called me something very similar to “tantu wishu” [spelling I have no idea, that’s how it sounded] as my nickname. If you know what that means. I’d love to know?
He just recently passed on. Man I miss my wise old Indian Grandpa. A lot.
❤
What tribe? Can't know what it means without narrowing down the language.
@@MrChristianDT I believe they hid her for a reason. And my family has always been very hush hush about this topic. Now is not the time to divulge any more details than I already have given.
@@HomelessVagrant lmao okay then good luck figuring out what your grandpa said? No one was hidden for a reason that matters in this day and age. We can’t tell you what he said if we don’t know his language.
@@HomelessVagrant nobody’s coming for her bones, dude.
Beautiful life nourishing bundles!!! thank you for sharing peace be too all
Mahsi Cho, Grandfather. I suppose this explains why I took squares of cotton fabric and a tie when gathering soil from the Thunderbird's nest at Snetetse.
Ahxéhéé for sharing this knowledge to dis amasani who was raised off Dinétah and lives in Bakersfield California, trying to learn as much of my traditions as I can 💙🪶
Thanks for sharing, love the high quality!
Woven Fabric is highly regarded in my family. I've heard many stories about women singing while they weave. The song associated the number of knots in the pattern.
Thank you, because earlier tonight, I put on a necklace with a little bag to hold flashlight, whistle, and a lighter and smiled to think of what these items mean to myself and dog.
Thank you for your good words. About 40+ years back, I went to several Pueblo feast days, & I especially remember Santo Domingo Pueblo - I don’t recall it’s proper name. I remember the women and young girl ‘s dress - it was summer and I believe most were woven cotton. I hope they had wool dresses for the winter feast days. It was strange, but I felt very emotionally connected to New Mexico and the Native and Hispanic cultures of that place. I still do, but maybe that’s just a connection to the wholeness of creation, which I think was made perfectly. Thank you for reminding me of that great time.
I love your videos. Thank you so much….I made a tiny medicine bottle and gave it to my son when he went to Australia to hopefully keep him safe, attached to a little compass for the cardinal directions, and a cross to hedge his bets. Lol. It has (if I remember rightly) earth, air (it is in a bottle), blessed salt water, and ash (earth air fire water), a tiny piece of eagle feather. A tiny piece of moss from Stonehenge at sunrise solstice. If there is more, I’ve forgotten what it is. He thinks I’m crazy, but I’m used to that. :-)
@Lost pelican That sounds really beautiful. I would cherish such a thing forever-I love natural things. Is it prying to ask why the sand dune is special?
A cross is a symbol of a torture/death system. Smh
@@terryulmer969 - Yes, but before that it was the Egyptian Ankh. They say that is why Celtic crosses are round on the top. I just told said to my son, since it is all the way in the other side of the planet, we might just hedge our bets a bit. ;-)
The cross and compass might be redundant, but I wouldn't worry if someone disapproves of any item. Someone somewhere will disapprove of EVERY item you would include, so there's no sense in worrying about that noise.
Cultural appropriation much
Ah'hee'he' shii'cheii a few years back I went turkey hunting up past Crystal by where the power lines go over the mountain very odd thing happened a lightning storm came out of nowhere very quickly the clouds formed next thing you know I was in the clouds on top of the mountain the wind started blowing like 50-70 mph then the lightening and thunder lightning was striking all around me and the ground was shaking with each strike totally different feeling and sound than when lightening hits close somewhere near by because it seems up in the clouds you hear the lightening first, white flashes of bright light very incredible to know if the CREATOR or the gods wanted to end it HE can anytime anywhere there is nowhere to run or hide when I got there I said my prayers and gave my offerings I got me a what is considered a trophy turkey because of the length of its beard I gave it to a Medicine man that does that certain ceremony now I understand why it is used my Hopi grandfather would do that for people when lightning struck close but they use a turkey feather along with their prayers and few other offerings included with them
Thank you so much for your videos, sir
Wonderful information. Thank you so much for sharing. Your granddaughter is adorable.☮️💖🎶
Thank you for sharing this program of Native American traditions. I have much respect for Americas first people.
Thank you for sharing and teaching us your ways and culture. Much love and Respect.
Thank You Sir for sharing. Love and Blessings 💕
These gems Wally shares with us ,,, thank you Sir.
My father had a heart attack yesterday. He's better, but he'll have surgery tomorrow.. please pray for him. 🍁
Very interesting, thank you.
My grandmother, my dad's mom, was full blooded Chippewa from Michigan. She was born on an Indian reservation in the early 1900s. Her parents died when she was 9 years old. She was responsible for her brothers and sisters, I don't know what happened to all of them. Somehow, she moved to Massachusetts, and not much was talked about her life. My mother contacted the department of Indian Affairs Washington for more information about her, for my dad. They gave her Michigan indian affairs, and they said all the records were burnt up, and there was no records. My grandmother died when I was little, and my dad never really got over it. She was a private person and my dad was respectful of his mom, and didn't pry into her life. She got a kidney infection and it killed her. All she needed was penicillin. The doctor just medicated her for pain, and she kept working. Imagine, she only needed penicillin and she would have been healed. She was only 55 years old, in the early 60s.
So much suffering. My Daughter is part of California Tribe. Calm and peaceful people will help you heal.🕊️

Thank you, Grandfather Wally, for sharing about your traditional ways and knowledge. I appreciate learning from you. Love and gratitude.
Thank you for sharing your deep knowledge and experience, undervalued and irreplaceable ❤
I agree 👍💯
So simple yet so impacting. Always refreshing to hear you speak, thank you from the bottom of my heart for keeping love alive through tradition. ❤️❤️❤️
thank you, Sir
Wow! That's awesome! I love your teachings, thank you, Nizhoni
❤ thanks for sharing 😊🙏
This Colonizer took it from our Black Aboriginal ancestors of this Land Mass. Smh
Great presentation. The Medicine Bag is one that people misunderstand. The word “medicine” leads to misunderstanding. Thank you.
Your granddaughter is a cutie!
Hello Sir, You remind me of my grandfather. He was not Navajo, although our family has blood lines from the Patawomeck tribe of Virginia. Sadly the tribe was almost wiped out entirely, yet the blood remains. I wish I could hear the tales and wisdom from my ancestors, yet I feel as though they speak through you. May the creator bless you and yours.
Nizhoni: I have a question?
Need to understand so I can let go.
Had a some what ceremony. I believe incomplete.
My companion was giving 2Eagle Feathers. He's 72. I was given 1.
He kept all of them. I do not live with him.
Yet told if anyone take it it's not good.
So I just let him keep it. Was this right for me to do. I am Mescalero Apache he is Navajo.
If you want I can send you calsit cristils from the old UTE Indian trail where it cross the Badgers creek in Fremont county Colorado
I've tried medical shrooms a few times to try and help my seizures and neurological issues but don't think they are for me sadly. Loved them but it's a no go. Gonna try and be as natural as I can cause I just end up in hospital when I don't, straight feel like a native American sometimes 😂
Great info like always. Do you think Indigenous people went without full clothes a lot before european contact? It would be so amazing to hear a story in your Native language. You have a great humor. I appreciate your telling of fiber cultivation
The definition of "appropriate clad" are effected by culture. There are places in the world where topless women are just fine but she better cover up her legs or she be considered scandalous.
I stand testimony to the rattle snake has gone straight movers but don't move Time and time of un-time testimony victor freeman 🙏 amen
Great channel! Thank you for sharing!
What is the meaning and purpose of the rock crystal? I had a crystal with its roots still attached appear in my possessions and I've been searching for an answer to why for a long time. It definitely has medicine to it, but I feel like everything I've read in regards to spiritual properties is too New Age. The scientific aspects alone tell me that there's something more.
I would love to see a video on how to make a proper medicine bag. It's one thing knowing what goes into it. Sometimes, how you make it is essential.
Thank you Mr. Wally.
Would Love some more longer videos like this, thanks for sharing

Thank you! :)
So ... How would a woman's cosmetic line fit in that little bag¿¿¿ lol ...jk 🤣🤣🤣
Woah! A stripper clip of 8mm mauser was about the last thing i expected to come out of that bag. That was from around 1941 germany, when copper was in shortage so they made them of solid steel. Its crazy to think the mg42(hitlers buzzsaw) could shoot about 5 stripper clips worth of 8mm every second!
Thank you
You mean they didn't wear spandex back then? ;)
It's always great to hear you

I see a lot of small bags going into the larger bags. Are you supposed to always keep the smaller sized bags- like the kind one would wear around the neck- hidden from sight, even when not being worn?
Thank you for your wisdom from your people, Tracie
🙏
Thank you for this.
Great video. Your wisdom is needed in these current times. Thank you so much.
That was super cool thank you for sharing that.
So what is usually the difference between a male arrowpoint and a female arrowpoint, besides the obvious (male making one and a female making one). Is the male Arrowpoint more for big game and female made for small game??? Is there a difference when looking at them??? Much respect to all our mother's and grandmother's!!!! You are the givers of life!!!
Thank you grandfather!!!!!
my great uncle use to make and sell these. I miss my culture.
Thank you for this lesson. It’s so great to learn. I read a book by called The Medicine Bag by Don Jose Ruiz and I think you should write one too. 😊 Knowledge is powerful ❤
Black, red and white.....colors if the Goddess. 🤗
I made a medicine bag for my godchildren’ s father when he went to The first Gulf War. . He was a bomb tech…he and his unit believed it protected them. Of all the u it’s there at that time, they had no casualties. Years I gave one to my elder son when he went to Iraq. He came back physically safe. The horrors he saw…as result of action by the US…are another matter. I am meditating on making him a second one, for healing. I have no formal training as a healer…but I seem to have some small gift fir it. My most beloved grandmother was half Chickasaw. She knew very little of her culture but taught what little she could, mostly about loving nature. My father, her son, taught me as well…to love all living things and the importance of honor. He also taught me to fight, but that’s another story.
🙏🏽💚🌎

Turquoise is a sacred piece of the sky you can hold in your hand.
Thank you for sharing your heart's truth with all of us.
My gr-gr-gr grandma was Mohawk.
You put me in mind of Seneca tribes leader, Oren Lyons.
I'm sure you know of him.
He's dedicated to rectifying the damage we've all wrought on the earth
Maybe you & he & others could work together.
I'm afraid the dominos are picking up speed now.
Bless you.
They arent the worlds jesus. Well actually they kinda are in a way haha funny all other peoples consider americas "the promiseland"
Where do you get a bracelet like that?
Thank you Mr. Brown and Shane...
Sunday is for Wisdom With Walley.
This is very informative. As an outsider writing something involving Dinè culture, I find myself a bit lost on what if anything would be okay to incorporate. I'm aware that these kinds of videos give Dinè people a way to communicate with each other. I'm fortunate to be able to observe. But I worry a lot about what's okay for me to write. Like I worry a lot a lot.
Would love to have seen some of the traditional cloths especially the woven woman's dress you talked about ✨🌻✨
Tonka! So interesting! Fascinating! Love your posts so much. Enlightening ✨💕🌏💕✨☀️✨
I could use that bundle.
Long live all Na-Dené and Amerindian nations!! All of our nations north and south over the Americas have so much in common!! Greetings from a Native descendant in Brasil.
Greetings from an indoafrolatin descendant born in Paraguay..who is also learning very important
knowledge for mankind..!
Aguyjevete..!
Extremely informative and highly interesting, as usual. You are my mentor. Ahehee
Wise one, THANK YOU for your teachings. It's knowledge that is priceless and timeless. 🕊🤍🌎
Thank you Papa
Good Evening to All🤗
Thank you so much!
Very interesting. Thank you.
What is exactly "Medicine Bundle"? Please, explain the exact term, because English term "medicine" doesn't seem to reflect that properly.
Thank you for sharing!
Hello Grandfather
I see you have a Black Medicine bag..
I was attacked by different tribal member asking me why my bag was black.
I told him it was my Medicine bag.
He told me only
Evil people wear black Medicine bag...
I told him
That was not true...
He was ready to fight me a grown man
I walked away and ignored him
Because i know how
Spiritual i am
But your Medicine bag
Seeing and hearing your teaching
Gave me such peace of mind
And i thank you for you teaching ❤️
Blessings Always
