00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.850 align:middle line:84%
And the one that struck me is
that or brought memories back

00:00:04.850 --> 00:00:08.029 align:middle line:84%
is the way all of
them deal with Saints.

00:00:08.029 --> 00:00:12.050 align:middle line:84%
A lot of-- interesting Mexican
culture, they kiss Saints.

00:00:12.050 --> 00:00:14.870 align:middle line:84%
And O'odham, they
don't kiss the Saint.

00:00:14.870 --> 00:00:16.640 align:middle line:90%
They inhale it.

00:00:16.640 --> 00:00:18.450 align:middle line:90%
They breathe it in.

00:00:18.450 --> 00:00:24.110 align:middle line:84%
And so I wrote a little piece
about that, the inhaling.

00:00:24.110 --> 00:00:30.420 align:middle line:84%
Inhaling in O'odham is hohowogĭ
g, to sort of suck in air.

00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:32.419 align:middle line:90%

00:00:42.845 --> 00:00:45.710 align:middle line:90%
"Inhale the power of the Saint.

00:00:45.710 --> 00:00:47.640 align:middle line:90%
Inhale the strength.

00:00:47.640 --> 00:00:49.460 align:middle line:90%
Inhale the goodness.

00:00:49.460 --> 00:00:55.290 align:middle line:84%
With these small breaths, health
and goodness will be your life."

00:00:55.290 --> 00:00:59.140 align:middle line:90%
And that's what they say.
