Kii is standing and Mr. John Benally takes a group of kids including Kii and Kii is in the front of the line and two bigger Navajo boy grabbed Kii and sits him on a chair so another boy can cut off his hair. Mr. John told Kii that cutting you're hair is bad luck but the bilagaanaa, American, had other rules. Kii was led to another room but this room was divided to boys and girls and they had to sell their valuables and clothing to buy solder clothes and cab. The cap was big on Kii that it went over his eyes. The last place Kii had to go the Dene's office and there he would change the name of every student. The Dene was fond of the name of John so he gave it two 20 kids and their last names would be what he had heard. Kii was next, he told him his name, Kii Biye, then the Dene wrote something down and said that his name would now be Ned, after the Deen's Uncle, Begay.
