Lillie Pete, a former teacher and librarian on the Navajo Reservation for decades, will be explaining the Kinaalda, the four day ritual that is part of the Navajo Blessing Way Ceremony. This ceremony was first performed for Changing Woman, the Na-vajo diety who is identified with the earth as a symbol of fertility. This “right of pas-sage” is a must for every Navajo girl upon reaching puberty.
