Késhjéé’: The Navajo Shoe Game

/ /

Késhjéé’ is only played in the winter after the first freeze of the year has occurred. At this event, Mr. Kevin Belin will teach késhjéé’ protocols, tell historical stories, and the audience will learn to sing késhjéé’ songs and play késhjéé’.

Késhjéé’ is more than a story, it is a teaching tool for everyone.
