Changing Woman Protects Her Sons

March 27, 2013 by
One day, when the monster Yé’iitsoh came to visit her, changing woman quickly hid the boys.
Yé’iitsoh had seen little footprints around changing women’s hogan, he and he was very curious.
He asked, “Where are the little children who made these tracks?”

Changing Woman Protects Her SonsOh it was I who made these little footprints, “lied changing woman.”  “I was lonely and long for some children, so I made footprints with my fists like this.” She pressed her fist into the sand to demonstrate. “Then I added the total imprints with my fingers like this.”

They stand tall, ready to defend their People, the Diné, from all enemies.

Given the gift of the Eagle Feather to surmount their challenges and weapons of the Sun Bearer, these young boys became strong defenders and leaders of their People.
