Our Family We have a wide range of ages in our family. We have a huge family. My mom and dad live here in Window Rock and my grandma is just a few minutes away. My grandma had 10 siblings, so there are more than 70 of us all together. It’s a pretty big family! We always get together at holidays. It definitely helps us stay connected to our heritage. Some of the things they teach us you can’t learn in school. The things that my grandmother and her siblings teach are passed down to us, every day there’s always a teaching. — Aliah
