In this episode, Clayton talks about Ázhi’ or Names, names that people have had in the past like warrior names and from our legends, things in nature and animals, and why it is important to us as Diné to recognize this, because all things in the world have a special name. They are living beings like us and that we have something in common , and that we have a connection to them and that we should help them thrive and in turn, they will help us, with prayers , like Tádídíín, or feeding us, like Díbe or helping us, like Łíí’. And that we should reflect on our ancestors and how they used names to describe themselves, and that we should strive to be more like them and start to use or make names for our pets or even our children as a way to encourage our cultural ways.

The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
