Notes:

If you see the image to the right, this means that my pictures will be temporarily disabled for a month. I'm only allowed a certain amounts of downloads from the PhotoBucket server a month. I can pay to have my bandwidth increased to accomodate, but I like free. So, if you see the pic to the right, the image will be disabled for a month from the date I exceeded my bandwidth. Sorry about that. A million apologies!

English Phrase: Congratulations Graduate!

he slang variant of congratulations, which is "Ahéhee' Na'nídéél" (Thanks to the favor falling your way!).

English Phrase: Gathering of Nations Pow-Wow!
I'm not aware of a specific name for Gathering of Nations in Navajo. It may exist and I may just not know it.

So the wording I used is "Bitsi' Yishtizhii Ahíihaidi," which means "Where the Native Americans are Gathering!" I could have used the Navajo term for Pow-Wow Dancer (Ats'os Yee Na'azhishí) in the wording but I just decided it to word it close to the English version.

The Gathering of Nations Pow-Wow occurs on the last week of April. To learn more about the Gathering of Nations, click here!
