cool stuff friday







This is an interesting video of a
traditional song translated
into the Navajo language.
When it gets to the part
where it says "Christ
he was born" It sounds
like "Christ he bit his chin."
I thought it was kinda funny.
Take a look at the crazy
long words and
accents in the
Navajo language as well.

This video show a lot of different types of drumming groups and different dances. I thought it was interesting that this is a performing arts group based in england as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evwAhagpDg0

    You're right! It DOES sound like "he bit his chin."

    And the other two videos are fun, too. It's interesting that the first is of the Miss NORTHERN Navajo Competition--obviously they must have regional competitions and then send the winners on to the national one, just like Miss America. One of the other students posted a video about the national competition, which had a good bit about the sheep slaughtering requirement...
