My name is Collin. I am 8 years old. I live in Kayenta, Arizona. I am going to be in 3rd grade. I like to read all the time. My grandpa gave me a bow and three arrows. My other hobby is stargazing. I have a second home in Shonto, Arizona. In Shonto, I help my grandmother herd the sheep and feed the clizzies and dibe yazhi, that means little goats and little lambs. We have to make milk for them and feed them because sometimes they are orphans or their mothers don't have enough milk for them. I forgot to mention that I am a Navajo Indian. My mother is of the Bitterwater clan and I am born for the Near the Water clan. My maternal clan is the Salt clan and paternal clan is Descheenie. Our clans tell us who our relatives are. Sometimes we have many mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers because of the clan system. It is really neat because in a way, we are never without a mother or father because all my mother's sisters are my mothers and all my father's brothers are my fathers. |
