Her Land, Her Love

By: Evangeline Parsons Yazzie

Narrated by: Evangeline Parsons Yazzie

Ninaanibaa's heart belonged to Hashké Yił Naabaah (The Warrior Who Fights with Anger). She loved him for protecting his awéé' (babies), K'é (kinship), Naabeehó (Navajo people) and Dinétah (land).

Hashké Yił Naabaah is summoned on a pursuit to restore peace and harmony to Dinétah. Nínááníbaa' gently places her hand over her heart and wonders if her own heart is prepared to never feel love again. She stops to think about life without love, the kind of love that her husband showers upon her. Leaving their sacred land is a painful decision forced upon them, but Hashké Yił Naabaah and Nínááníbaa always relied on their love, prayers, and kinship in overcoming hardship, loneliness, and suffering. Will they escape the shackles of war and reunite with their children within the four sacred mountains of Dinétah?
