Bah'Hozhooni = The Happy One (in Dine')

...and who could be happier than to have the wise, caring arms of your great grandmother around you in the first days of life. This is my Grandma Mae Yazzie, whose lineage I will carry through the matrilineal Dine' (Navajo) clan system. When I introduce myself in Dine' I will say that I am Zuni Edgewater (maternal grandmother's first clan), born for German (paternal grandmother's first clan).
