The Institute for Diné Culture, Philosophy & Government, LLC is proud and excited to present the 15th Annual Yikáii Yizhchį́ Virtual Presentation for 2021. Due to the current pandemic, the Institute is presenting this year’s “conference” through a series of eight video presentations. All series of video presentation topics originate from strict Diné cultural and holistic healing perspectives. Video presenters include: Avery Denny and Wilson Aronilth Jr.

We wanted to focus this year’s virtual presentation on the pandemic. However, you will see that this year’s conference had to change from the past year’s traditional, in-person method and structure to accommodate and adapt this year's conference in this video format.

This year’s virtual presentation will center on Naałniih in Diné history and Naałniih today: COVID-19. Using Diné Holistic healing versus modern medicine and an analysis of both.

The origin of the Diné traditional healing chant ways: treatment process and different healing chant ways. (Hatáál) Familiarizing oneself with The Emergence Story and the different worlds, in accordance with the Diné Creation Story, and the consequences of the Separation of Genders, which created imbalance.

The origin of Tachééh, Késhj'éé', and Kinaaldá. The story of Asdzą́ą́ Nádleehí (Changing Woman), the Twin Warriors, the slaying of Naayéé' (Monsters/Evil), and the discussion of different treatments after COVID-19.

Discussion of how different Naałniih/Naayéé' (Virus/Monsters/Evil) in Ni'haltsoi (Yellow World) and Ni’halgai’ (White World). Learn how the birth of Changing Woman and her twin sons came into existence to destroy all evil/monsters ravaging the people.

The birth of Changing Woman and the birth to the Twin Warriors restored balance and order.

Learn how the evil monsters/viruses almost destroyed our people in Ni’halgai (White World). Explanation of how different types of viruses tried to control Diné traditional responsibility, relating to Diné moral laws (judgment in right and wrong) and how evil monsters controlled the Diné judgment, good and bad, and creating confusion (Hate was formed).
