In these couple of days, my family and I had felt a strong urge to go back to Navajoland. Even though we had only three days which is a tight schedule, we decided to take a quick trip back to Navajoland.
To me, Navajoland is very special. Once I enter the land, I feel as if I am being hugged by gentle Mother-like energy. I don’t need to make all the plan during the trip. All I need is just to feel the energy from the land and relax. The land has lots of Navajo sage that makes the entire land smells good. Gentle and calm fragrance.
My mother-in-law had lived on the Navajoland all her life. She likes to visit the city areas but always feels at home coming back to the Navajoland. She says enjoying the feel of Navajoland is a privilege for the people who live there. They can enjoy sun rise and sunset without any disturbance of the scenery. This kind of privilege used to be common for our ancestors. However, in our modern age, as our life has become convenient, most of us have moved and lived in the city where is away from the healthy nature.
My family and I had seriously started thinking about moving back to Navajoland. We don’t know exactly when, but it will happen soon.
On this trip, we visited the elementary school for our daughter. I had imagined that there are not many children in the Navajoland. So, I was surprised to know that they have 5 classes with more than 120 students on each grade. The receptionist told me there are many young Navajos coming back to the Navajoland from the city. I am happy to know that we are not the only one who have missed Navajoland so much.
