Iinii Insights
June is a month of celebration for all living beings. The long rains come, encouraging growth and transformation. Green grass carpets the ground, animal mothers nurture their young, scented blossoms invite pollinating friends, and water sparkles under rays of light. Na’a (Mother Earth) is awake and Niipo (summer) is near! Soon, Na’toosi (Grandfather Sun) will reach his most northerly point in our sky, shining from above the horizon for longer than any other day of the year. We call this the summer solstice. The solstice indicates a time for renewal and connection, a time for ceremonies intimately related to land and spirit.
