Ní’tsíí Níłtsą́ Yaahaalne’ - Hair Tells the Weather (Bilingual Navajo & English)

Science isn’t all about numbers. In 2017 the National Weather Service learned of the importance of the Navajo Tsiiyéeł and the relationship with weather. In this short, Navajo filmmaker Cherylee Francis and actors partner with the National Weather Service to explain this important connection.

This film was developed from the Navajo Weather poster, after a community member pointed out that Navajo is not originally a written language, and that aspects of the Navajo Weather poster should be available in audio-visual formats for all Navajo speakers.
