Before us there was a large pond 144 00:17:45,761 --> 00:17:50,789 surrounded by beech trees as we dreamed. Nobody seemed to live there. 145 00:18:04,841 --> 00:18:08,197 My mother was very happy to have found such a wonderful place 146 00:18:08,841 --> 00:18:12,231 and said that when my father found out would come back to us. 147 00:18:12,961 --> 00:18:16,795 He wanted me to go and tell him but Gray Singer said that the city of 148 00:18:17,041 --> 00:18:21,831 white man was no place for children, that as soon as he built a sheepfold 149 00:18:22,041 --> 00:18:25,033 and a hut he would go himself to look for my father. 150 00:18:27,161 --> 00:18:33,191 My mother and I loved that, We were going to be a family again. 151 00:19:08,481 --> 00:19:11,598 Three days later my grandfather left to the white man's city 152 00:19:11,801 --> 00:19:13,120 to look for my father. 153 00:19:18,681 --> 00:19:22,469 I decided to inspect the surroundings looking for a possible neighbor, 154 00:19:23,321 --> 00:19:27,951 but it was strange: there was not the slightest trace of human presence. 155 00:19:28,561 --> 00:19:31,200 Since we arrived we had not seen to no one there. 156 00:20:09,521 --> 00:20:13,116 That rock above the peak It aroused great curiosity in me. 157 00:20:13,681 --> 00:20:15,672 How could he stay up there? 158 00:20:21,001 --> 00:20:24,516 Then it dawned on me: It was a coyote trap. 159 00:20:26,841 --> 00:20:30,470 We don't kill the Navajos but, Luckily, they kill themselves, 160 00:20:30,761 --> 00:20:33,673 falling into our traps when They roam our cattle. 161 00:20:48,441 --> 00:20:52,434 On the walls there were strange paintings made a long time ago 162 00:20:52,681 --> 00:20:54,433 that our people arrived here. 163 00:20:55,761 --> 00:20:58,594 Each of those paintings told a story. 164 00:21:25,761 --> 00:21:28,673 I didn't tell my mother anything about those rocks that had fallen 165 00:21:28,841 --> 00:21:30,479 because I didn't want to scare her. 166 00:21:32,521 --> 00:21:35,672 But she told my sisters who had had a nightmare 167 00:21:35,841 --> 00:21:41,438 the night before. In the nightmare, Gray Singer fell off his horse and 168 00:21:41,681 --> 00:21:44,434 then an avalanche of stones fell on him. 169 00:21:45,961 --> 00:21:48,077 All that gave me very bad thorn. 170 00:21:48,401 --> 00:21:51,313 Gray Singer had left a long time and he didn't come back. 171 00:21:53,081 --> 00:21:54,355 Something must have happened to him. 172 00:21:55,481 --> 00:22:00,396 Since then everything started to get worse, It was cold and we barely had to eat. 173 00:22:07,521 --> 00:22:11,275 Then the pond dried up, some sheep were very weak 174 00:22:11,681 --> 00:22:13,194 and shortly after they died. 175 00:22:22,321 --> 00:22:24,881 Nobody showed up there during all that time. 176 00:22:25,481 --> 00:22:29,315 I was wondering what it would have been by Gray Singer, perhaps the nightmare 177 00:22:29,601 --> 00:22:33,276 had come true and Gray Singer I was too old to resist 178 00:22:33,521 --> 00:22:34,715 such a long trip. 179 00:22:36,041 --> 00:22:40,717 I was wondering what my father would do and If he would ever think of us. 180 00:22:43,601 --> 00:22:47,196 Then, after a long time, My grandfather returned with some food, 181 00:22:48,921 --> 00:22:50,877 but my father did not come with him. 182 00:23:14,921 --> 00:23:19,517 Gray Singer brought bad news: my father, the hunter, was not going to return. 183 00:23:20,001 --> 00:23:22,959 Now

drunk on the whiskey of the white man and they arrested him and 186 00:23:34,601 --> 00:23:36,353 They locked him up in prison. 187 00:23:37,601 --> 00:23:40,513 He didn't even care What had become of his family. 188 00:23:42,401 --> 00:23:47,270 I didn't want to believe it but after hearing That hated the white man even more. 189 00:23:48,601 --> 00:23:53,755 My mother was brave. we will not return to pronounce his name, he said. 190 00:23:54,121 --> 00:23:57,397 We must work to survive to winter and take care of the sheep 191 00:23:57,841 --> 00:24:02,756 for them to multiply, we must forget about him and look forward. 192 00:24:20,561 --> 00:24:25,157 My grandfather said he felt very tired and somewhat sick because of the long journey, 193 00:24:25,401 --> 00:24:29,713 but as soon as he recovered we had to leave there because 194 00:24:29,961 --> 00:24:33,954 I had heard that many years ago some men ambushed 195 00:24:34,161 --> 00:24:37,949 a Navajo family that lived there and the spirits of the dead 196 00:24:38,201 --> 00:24:40,112 They were still wandering around the place. 197 00:24:42,281 --> 00:24:44,476 That's why we had so bad luck 198 00:24:45,121 --> 00:24:48,591 That's why my fears did not cease not even during the day. 199 00:24:53,201 --> 00:24:56,193 But our grandfather never arrived to recover completely. 200 00:24:56,601 --> 00:25:01,117 We put his best clothes on him and We take us to a lonely and secluded place, 201 00:25:01,561 --> 00:25:04,519 leaving him food and water for 4 days. 202 00:25:06,721 --> 00:25:11,397 This is how the Navajo rites provide: If someone dies near your loved ones, 203 00:25:11,681 --> 00:25:14,434 They can't stay there, not even a day. 204 00:25:15,361 --> 00:25:18,990 It's hard, but we would also have What to do if my little sister, 205 00:25:19,241 --> 00:25:21,436 that she was very sick, He died too. 206 00:25:38,961 --> 00:25:42,920 Gray Singer took his leave and said that we would not kill his horse, 207 00:25:43,481 --> 00:25:47,394 because it is the custom of the Navajos who are going to die give up their horse 208 00:25:47,561 --> 00:25:50,314 someone who can set it up until the animal dies. 209 00:25:51,681 --> 00:25:55,117 Gray Singer wanted the horse It was for me because I was young 210 00:25:55,281 --> 00:25:56,999 and he had his whole life ahead of him. 211 00:25:58,761 --> 00:26:02,674 Gray Singer Didn't Care About Dying because he would also be young again. 212 00:26:03,801 --> 00:26:06,076 Nothing dies, he told us. 213 00:26:06,481 --> 00:26:09,871 The body is only lent to us during our stay on earth, 214 00:26:10,201 --> 00:26:15,639 then he unites with her and the spirits They guide us to the land where we come from. 215 00:26:16,161 --> 00:26:20,279 Finally, he told me: "Always continue the path of light and never let 216 00:26:20,521 --> 00:26:24,992 bad thoughts dominate you", and asked us to move away. 217 00:26:43,601 --> 00:26:49,870 I didn't look back, it was our custom, but we were going to miss him. 218 00:26:50,121 --> 00:26:52,760 He had been a real grandfather for us. 219 00:27:06,561 --> 00:27:11,954 It did not arrive after four days, at dawn of the second my grandfather lay lifeless, 220 00:27:12,241 --> 00:27:14,596 down there, without having touched his food. 221 00:27:29,881 --> 00:27:35,160 The vultures prowled in the sky, I didn't want to separate myself from Gray Singer. 222 00:27:59,401 --> 00:28:02,677 My mother told me to go to the village nearest to look for someone 223 00:28:02,881 --> 00:28:04,314 to bury my grandfather. 224 00:28:05,041 --> 00:28:08,954 We couldn't touch the corpse because we respect our dead, 225 00:28:10,001 --> 00:28:13,676 but we didn't want the coyotes They ate Gray Singer. 226 00:28:16,801 --> 00:28:22,273 I rode as fast as I could without stop thinking how I wished I had my 227 00:28:22,601 --> 00:28:27,675 own horse before the pile of stones, but I had not wanted to achieve it this way. 228 00:29:14,721 --> 00:29:17,554 Found a policeman with a man of our tribe. 229 00:29:18,961 --> 00:29:24,035 The policeman wanted to know my name and where I lived, then asked my age. 230 00:29:26,561 --> 00:29:30,918 I lied to him but he repeated the question 4 times, so I couldn't lie to him anymore 231 00:29:31,161 --> 00:29:36,189 because if not the lie would come back to me on all 4 sides and it would catch me. 232 00:29:37,121 --> 00:29:40,511 Then he said I should go with him to the white man's school. 233 00:29:40,961 --> 00:29:43,998 And how much did I tell him that my grandfather he had just died he told me that 234 00:29:44,201 --> 00:29:47,591 I would send one of the missionaries with a horse and what he would tell him 235 00:29:47,841 --> 00:29:52,471 to my
