Tsé Biiʼ Nidzisgaii

Tsé Biiʼ Nidzisgaii is theMonument Valley.

 

Literally, the word translates to rock(s)—within—white-streaks-around, or thereabout. Colloquially, it’s “the streaks that go around in the rocks.” You’ll notice these streaks as the various rock layers in the Valley.

 

There are similar places described by the “streaks” in the rocks in Navajo, most notably the Grand Canyon.
