This weekend’s solar eclipse will gather many spectators across the U.S. However, for some cultures such as the Navajo tradition, indigenous people are encouraged to be inactive.
For a few hours, Krystal Curley and her Indigenous women's work group took over a college auditorium to share traditional Navajo practices regarding this weekend's highly anticipated solar eclipse. More than 50 people — young and old — showed up for the chance to either connect with or remember cultural protocol going back hundreds of years. They laid out books on Navajo astronomy and corn pollen used for blessings.
Our people used to gather when these eclipses started happening ... calling for the frog to come,' Nelson said. 'When the eclipse is over with, then that’s the frog being successful in chasing the grizzly bear.' Klamath Tribes officials won't be able to avoid the eclipse-driven fanfare. EclipseFest23, a festival in Klamath County roughly 20 miles from Crater Lake National Park, started Tuesday.
The story he grew up with was that a rabbit being chased by a little boy transformed into a 'little person' and offered the boy three wishes. After food and friends, the boy asked for shade. So, the little person lobbed cornmeal at the sun, covering it, and proclaimed the moon and sun have been brought together. The little person then teaches the boy a 'friendship dance.' The eclipse symbolizes that friendship.
