And the father loves the child very much, and 00:01:36.650 --> 00:01:41.415 she, you know, the love grows as they have children, more children 00:01:41.448 --> 00:01:47.816 together. We lost my dad 30 years ago, and she says to this day, you know 00:01:47.849 --> 00:01:53.217 , she misses him and she loves him, he's the only one that she was ever 00:01:53.250 --> 00:02:01.250 with. The song is the English and then uh. Uh, so in. 00:02:09.868 --> 00:02:12.136 Maki. 00:02:12.169 --> 00:02:14.606 Uh. 00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:17.156 Mhm. 00:02:17.189 --> 00:02:25.189 The other some is even that is Chigo that's even in the others either so. 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.237 Oh, that is on, 00:02:28.270 --> 00:02:34.286 um. Being brought up traditionally and her knowing only tradition, they 00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.916 didn't have no knowledge about the hospital. Back then she was taught and 00:02:39.949 --> 00:02:45.467 she was told because her mom and her aunties had children like that where 00:02:45.500 --> 00:02:51.275 um the male would make a birthing pole that they would put in the hogan, 00:02:51.308 --> 00:02:56.475 they would have they would lay a sheep sheepskin down under them. The sash 00:02:56.508 --> 00:03:01.207 felt. They would tie onto the birthing pole that I was telling. She said 00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:06.906 that they put up a birthing pole. And this they tie up to the birthing 00:03:06.939 --> 00:03:12.297 pole and they will hold onto that. So they wouldn't lay lay down, they 00:03:12.330 --> 00:03:17.055 would actually just kind of squat and hold that and somebody would come up 00:03:17.088 --> 00:03:21.335 , the mother and grandmother would come up behind them and every, every 00:03:21.368 --> 00:03:25.335 time they have a contraction, the mom or grandma, whoever is doing that 00:03:25.368 --> 00:03:32.055 would push on the tummy. And um that's how they that's how the baby fell 00:03:32.088 --> 00:03:36.096 fell out, and then they put the baby onto the sheep, the sheepskin that 00:03:36.129 --> 00:03:41.446 was lying there and they put the placenta and everything there. After the 00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.805 baby is born, then they push out the placenta again, then they put that 00:03:44.838 --> 00:03:49.816 there. So that 00:03:49.849 --> 00:03:54.616 that's that's the school. And then it got the 00:03:54.649 --> 00:04:02.649 uh. 00:04:02.669 --> 00:04:05.786 Yeah it just yeah. 00:04:05.819 --> 00:04:11.536 And And then she says at the time, you know, they have a medicine and 00:04:11.569 --> 00:04:18.366 they're singing songs. Um, for the Um, I guess it it while she says it was 00:04:18.399 --> 00:04:26.399 a big a sacred. Um, time for everyone. After the baby is born, they they 00:04:26.858 --> 00:04:33.584 they wash the grandmother or mother um wash the baby, her son Henry. When 00:04:33.617 --> 00:04:38.625 the baby falls out, she was told, once the baby cries out, they they tell 00:04:38.658 --> 00:04:45.895 her if it's a boy or a girl, and then they tell her, you know, say welcome. 00:04:45.928 --> 00:04:49.689 Um, my son or my daughter.
