The sacred mountain to the west, Dook'osliid, recently went up in flames. ("
Museum Fire") About 2000 acres of the mountain burned before the rain contained the fire. Many Dine are worried about the sacred mountain burning. I think the mountain caught on fire because of all the negative energy in our society today. There is a lot of bad stuff going around, including the numerous people who continue to go missing. There is also the majority of Navajos who no longer have any real connection to anything Dine, no language, no culture. There have been other sacred mountains that have caught fire, but nobody knows that they are even sacred anymore. The flames on Dook'osliid is just a sign of our Dine declining out of existence. We are spiraling out of control and nobody seems to know how to regain control. It's a sad day.
