The Navajo have a unique tradition. When a baby is born, it is regarded as the ultimate, precious gift and must never be abused. From the moment of birth, the child is watched over continuously by family and friends, who patiently wait for the child’s first…laugh.

“Has your baby laughed?” is common question posed to parents who have infants around the age of three months. The first laugh of a Navajo child is a very significant event. It marks the child’s final passing from the spirit world to the physical world, meaning he or she is now fully human. This milestone warrants a party, and what a party it is!

Whichever brother, sister, parent, cousin, aunt, uncle, or passing acquaintance is present at the first laugh is deemed to have caused it.  The laughter instigator then receives the honored privilege of preparing a special ceremony to welcome the child into society.

Once a baby has laughed, training in generosity begins immediately—a value held in high regard among the Navajo people. At the party, where the baby is considered the host, the parents or person responsible for the first laugh help hold the baby’s hand as he or she ceremonially gives the rock salt, food, and gifts to each guest. There are also bags of candy, money, and other presents that the child “gives” along with the food. [x]

Is this true? lol

[morninggggstar]

Yes it is true. I have had of a few relatives invite me to a A’wee Chi’deedloh "The Baby Laughed Ceremony" however I have not had the privilege to actually attended one personally. The Dine’ peoples believe that babies are of “two worlds” (Earth people & Holy people) when they are born. The first laugh signifies the babies desire to become a part of the Earth People so it is a great cause for celebration.

That’s actually called the Overview Effect- something experienced by some astronauts that makes them see that “from space, national boundaries vanish, the conflicts that divide people become less important, and the need to create a planetary society with the united will to protect this “pale blue dot” becomes both obvious and imperative”.

Lemme tell you why this scene is so iconic for some of us

You’ve probably seen many a fan of Titans freaking out this weekend over the latest episode. DickKory (Dick and Kori) did the deed for the first time and it was hot (chemistry was FANTASTIC) and glorious. 

But that’s only part of the reason so many of us, namely women of colour, have been excited about this scene. This moment in particular, where Dick is just admiring and touching Kori in such a wondrous, soft and sensual way…it’s beyond beautiful.

It’s beautiful because it’s a scene we don’t get very often onscreen with black women, especially ones with darker skin. If we’re shown as desirable at all, it’s often only in a sexual or fetishized way, only to be ignored and tossed aside once the deed is done. 

But in this scene, even though at this point the relationship between Dick and Kori is primarily based on physical attraction, has so much tenderness and sensuality in it. We RARELY see a black woman given this kind of soft desirability, this gentle and adoring treatment however brief it was. 

It gives me hope that this show will treat this relationship with the care that it deserves, especially since they took the chance of casting someone who looks like Anna when it would have been easier not to. 

I’m SO looking to seeing this relationship blossom and grow as the show progresses!

Ok so I’ve been playing for 18 years and i’m a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? I’ve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because i’m an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. I’ve seen very few professional string players who are black.

Obviously there are black string players. We just don’t see them because they “don’t look like” string players.

This person is the real deal. They were clearly trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?
