SHIMÁ (MY MOTHER) REMINDED US ALL TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE PERSEVERANCE OF OUR ANCESTORS CONSISTENTLY\, DAILY. SHIMA WAS A WOMAN WHO WAS A RESEMBLANCE OF MY STRONG WILLED SHIMÁSANI (MY GRANDMOTHER). MY MOTHER AND GRANDMOTHER WERE TWO OF KIND; WOMEN WHO WERE RAISED TO BE WISE BEYOND THEIR YEARS AND TO BE TOUGH AS NAILS THROUGHOUT THEIR LIFE. THE NAVAJO FAMILY SYSTEM IS A SOCIETY BASED ON A STRONG MATRIARCH. WHEN YOU ARE BORN YOU ARE IDENTIFIED FIRST BY YOUR MATERNAL CLAN THAT IS WHO YOU ARE THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE.

SHE WOULD EMPHASIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR NAVAJO LANGUAGE AND TAUGHT US TO CONTINUE TO LEARN IT AND USE IT DAILY. SHE WOULD INSTILL IN US TO BECOME RESILIENT\, INDEPENDENT\, STRONG WILLED\, HARD WORKING\, HUMBLE AND PROUD NAVAJO PEOPLE. \nTHE ADAKAI CHILDREN WILL NEVER FORGET WHERE AND HOW WE HAVE GROWN UP IN A WORLD OF COLORFUL CULTURE AND SPEAKING DINEH BIZAAD AS OUR FIRST SPOKEN LANGUAGE AND A MENTALITY OF FAMILY FIRST: SAGE AND YUCCA PLANTS WERE PLENTIFUL\, WE HAD NO RUNNING WATER-OUR FAMILY HAULED WATER EVERY WEEK\, WE HAD HUGE FAMILY GATHERINGS\, EVERY NOW AND THEN ACHII (A NAVAJO DELICACY AND AN ACQUIRED TASTE)\, TORTILLAS WITH EVERY MEAL\, OCCASIONALLY FRIED BREAD\, GREEN CHILI STEW\, TAMALES-GREEN CHILI-RED CHILI\, WOOD HAULING IN THE WINTER\, PINON PICKING IN THE SUMMERS\, GROWING OUR OWN FOOD AND GATHERING THE FALL HARVEST-CORN-SQUASH-BEANS-WATERMELONS-PUMPKINS\, UNFORGIVING WINTERS WITH THE WOOD BURNING STOVE TO WARM OUR SMALL FAMILY HOME\, MUDDY RESERVATION ROADS THAT LEFT MUD RACKS FOR DAYS\, HAND ME DOWN CLOTHES\, AND OF COURSE RAISING LIVESTOCK AND THE BUTCHERING WE DID FOR OUR FAMILY SUSTENANCE\, AND LASTLY THE SILVER JEWELRY WORK OUR FATHER DID IN HIS LAST YEARS AS INCOME FOR HIS FAMILY.
