Késhjéé’: The Navajo Shoe Game
Europe and North America / / Albuquerque
University of New Mexico
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’ or the Shoe Game originated due to the
disagreement of how long the day or night should last. The
first game ended in a draw and as a result today we have
both day and night. Késhjéé’ is more than a story, it is a
teaching tool for everyone.
