Sweat Lodge(s)
We value and deem the sweat lodge a site of cultural significance and sacred space. Historically, when Diné people were forcefully removed and experienced cultural genocide during the “scorched earth” round-up, our ancestors sought healing and hózhó (being in balance with nature and the universe) through the sweat lodge. It is a place for physical, mental, and spiritual cleansing. The heat is believed to absorb and embed all the teachings shared during the sweat bath. The sweat lodge is considered the grandfather (acheii) of all the different structures made by the Navajo, as the grandfather provides most of the teachings in our culture.
Dale Tadytin Sr. Rock Hogan
Dale Tadytin’s Rock Hogan is marked with a date of July 1969. Structures, including hogans, corrals, and dams, utilizing sandstone rocks in this area of the Navajo Nation are not uncommon.
Bii’ Hóóteel (Wide Valley)
A garden and pond integral to the land, they were a source of both food and drinking water (for both the family and their livestock.) Grandma Helen Sage, the daughter of Clyde Tadytin’s older sister was born here. Clyde gave his niece her first bath from the water of Bii’ Hóóteel. As other families moved into the area, Bii’ Hóóteel became a watering hole for the community and a place of commerce and trade.
Tadytin Dam
Tó bee iiná (Water is life). In Diné culture, water is a sacred source of life and a precious part of who we are. As we are taught, there is a female and male rain, and prayers of Tó biyáázh and Tó ałtaashchíín is how Diné believe the birth of water came to be and was done to bring forth rain for water. With ancestral practices such as farming for thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans, Diné people lived in relationship with the land. The Tadytin Dam is an example of a water catchment system created to sustain our land-based way of life and tend to livestock simultaneously. The family made many such waterways, when local natural springs dried up.
Mary Tadytin Gravesite
As stewards of the lands, we continue to protect and honor our ancestors' way of life and practice harmony with Mother Earth. Our clan grandmother, the late Mary Gishie Tadytin, who birthed her children on these lands. The home she created for her children fostered a family lifestyle that included gardening and herding sheep to provide for the household. Culturally, Diné believe burial sites are not to be disturbed and left alone for spiritual reasons. Here, we honor and revere where our late great-grandparents built their homes. We preserve and leave them as they were to honor their time here.
Antelope Canyon X
Our most popular tour consists of two iconic slot canyons. These slot canyons started as a small crack in the rocks and were formed through millions of years of erosion as flood waters swept through Navajo sandstone. The water will continue to erode downward, adding to our narrow canyons with high walls. Don’t forget to look up during your tour!
BOOK A TOUR
Cardiac Canyon
A canyon full of wonder, it features intricately carved patterns adorning its walls, complemented by the graceful streams of sunlight that enhance the vibrant reds and oranges within its depths. Remember, these canyons are places of worship for the Navajo people. They deserve the same respect and reverence as holy places like chapels, temples, synagogues, etc.
BOOK A TOUR
Clyde Tadytin Cardiac Canyon Homestead
Clyde Tadytin’s (1905-73) homestead consisted of his hogan, a corral of wood and sheep near a natural spring. He would hang out sheep skins in the morning before bringing them back in for the evening. Never having a three-meal day, he would eat later in the day. Sheep were an integral part of life, with every part being used, including bedding (yaateeł), food, and wool for making beautiful blankets, sash belts, and saddle blankets. This legacy continues today with the weaving of famous Navajo rugs. Our family knows this homestead as the place Rita grew up, and she has many memories of her grandfather.
Hogan
All hogan doorways face in the eastern direction to properly greet the morning deities. Long logs and smaller pieces of wood, including bark, were secured with mud during construction and then covered in dirt. Some Navajo People constructed their hogans with stone blocks when available. There is beauty in the simplicity of the masonry work, particularly in the hogans built with bare hands.
