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.
