Experience the powerful journey of the Diné people with "Shí Naashá" from my new album "Across the Desert: The Long Walk Home." This orchestral rendition of the traditional song, featuring the incredible talents of Kelsey Begay and Tex Chee, captures the spirit of resilience and homecoming.
After 4 years of imprisonment at Fort Sumner by the US Government, the Diné people were released to return home with the Treaty of 1868. Walking over 350 miles through the unforgiving desert, the people rejoiced when they saw our sacred mountain of the south, Tsoodził. Knowing they were finally near the ancestral homelands, the Diné people sang this song “Shí Naashá” which translates to “I’m going/walking” (to freedom/our homeland)
Special thanks to Kelsey, Parker, and Harper Begay; Tex Chee; and Mary Beth Crandall for bringing this music and video to fruition

❤ #Hózhó The words in “Shí Naashá” express the joy of the Diné to be returning to their homeland. While many other Navajo songs cannot be interpreted easily, almost every syllable in “Shí Naashá” is translatable. shí = I naashá = walk biké = path I follow hózhǫ́ = beauty way lá = (emphasizing what was said before) ahala = freedom (the sense of joy walking towards freedom) ghą = in the way of naashá = walk Shí naashá (I am going/walking around), is a song, composed in 1868 to commemorate the release of the Diné from internment at Fort Sumner. The lyrics express the elation they experienced upon their return to their homeland. Ahala ahalago naashá ghą Shí naashá ghą, shí naashá ghą, Shí naashá lágo hózhǫ’ la. Shí naashá ghą, shí naashá ghą, Shí naashá, ladee hózhǫ’ǫ’ lá. I am going in freedom I am going, I am going, I am going in beauty. I am going, I am going, I am going, beauty is all around me. Walking in Beauty Closing Prayer from the Navajo Way Blessing Ceremony In beauty I walk With beauty before me I walk With beauty behind me I walk With beauty above me I walk With beauty around me I walk It has become beauty again Hózhóogo naasháa doo. Shitsijí’ hózhóogo naasháa doo. Shikéédéé hózhóogo naasháa doo. Shideigi hózhóogo naasháa doo. T’áá altso shinaagóó hózhóogo naasháa doo. Hózhó náhásdlíí’. Hózhó náhásdlíí’. Hózhó náhásdlíí’. Hózhó náhásdlíí’ Today I will walk out, today everything negative will leave me I will be as I was before, I will have a cool breeze over my body. I will have a light body, I will be happy forever, nothing will hinder me. I walk with beauty before me. I walk with beauty behind me. I walk with beauty below me. I walk with beauty above me. I walk with beauty around me. My words will be beautiful. In beauty all day long may I walk. Through the returning seasons, may I walk. On the trail marked with pollen may I walk. With dew about my feet, may I walk. With beauty before me may I walk. With beauty behind me may I walk. With beauty below me may I walk. With beauty above me may I walk. With beauty all around me may I walk. In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, lively, may I walk. In old age wandering on a trail of beauty, living again, may I walk. My words will be beautiful…
