It is customary to introduce yourself in Navajo with your clans which mine are Tábąąhí (Water’s Edge/Among the Waters) - My Mothers side, Táchii’nii (Red Running Into the-Water) My Father's side, Bit’ahnii — (Within His Cover) Paternal Grandmother, and Hashk’ąąn Hadzohí (Yucca Fruit Strung Out/Banana) Paternal Grandfather. I grew up in a small community called Iyanbito which is located on the Navajo Reservation in New Mexico.
