In this episode, Clayton talks about how the Diné (Navajo People) didn’t have clans originally after the emergence, and talks about Changing Woman and how she gifted her family different gifts to 4 Original Clans - Kinyaa'áanii (The Towering House clan), Honágháahnii (One-walks-around clan), Tódich'ii'nii (Bitter Water clan) and Hashtł'ishnii (Mud clan). Kinnyaa’ánii have the gift of leadership, Honágháahnii have the gift of healing, Tódich’ii’nii have the gift of tinkering, and Hashtł’ishnii have the gift of creativity. He talked about how these clans help our people realize their talents, and living more enriched lives.
