  • "How This Navajo Chef Brings His Native Food Traditions Back." Brian Yazzie, a Diné/Navajo traveling chef now based in St. Paul, MN, does presentations demonstrating Native cooking across the country while mentoring Native youth. Brian uses modern techniques with Indigenous ingredients, and he himself had a great mentor in the James Beard Award-winning Sean Sherman, founder of "The Sioux Chef." See Brian prep amazing dishes like sumac duck confit with acorn squash, mushroom and sunflower shoots, turnips and sunchoke puree, sweetgrass-infused beet puree, and his very popular wild rice bowl.

      I agree. The fry bread taco was the only food I found when visiting the Cherokee Eastern Band and I was not impressed. I could taste the trail of tears in it. The food of oppression.
      I would love to learn the indigenous foods.
      Our fam eats more Turkey and bison now.

    Stuff like this makes me so excited and a fellow Native American , imagine if we had a chef representative of every tribe in America ? I know Navajo Dene , and Apache Nde are similar but they both have to have their own unique ingredients and cuisine ,

    Kox-ha-na!!! (Kohsh-hah-nah)
    "Let's eat!!!
    Thank you so much for taking an interest, and showing your passion for this type of food, and especially for sharing with us all, and inspiring us!
    Sad that so many people, especially within so many tribes, eat processed food, and drink so many drinks full of phosphates.
    Time for those of us who are native, that like to eat healthy, and love to cook healthy, to share some of the things we have learned from our elders, and our efforts to eat better, with others, to inspire them to take an interest in eating better and thrive at it.
    As a kid, I spent time in villages in the jungles, down in the southern part of this continent. As an adult, I would travel and on purpose start learning the languages of the tribes I visited, just to be able to talk to the native Grandmas, so I could learn the ancient recipes.
    "Grandmas" know everything!!!
    My wife is part Diné, but from way south.
    I'm a descendant from a pre-Colombian tribe of goldsmiths, one of the alliance that chased Christobal Colon out, when he came with his mercenaries to plunder.
    Just in Mexico alone there are over 53 native languages still spoken. That's not even talking about the rest of Central and South America. Imagine the all the recipes one could learn to cook from these tribes, and some in clay pots, to say the least. Those are some of the best tasting, I must say!
    Here's two links to vids on native food, a youtuber, 'Mark Weins' posted, of one of my favorite places to visit, ... Yucatan Peninsula.
    Even within the Peninsula, the variation of native dishes is absolutely amazing. Just thought I'd share, to keep you motivated and inspired. 💪🏽😁🎶
    Brian: Keep doing what your doing!!!
    I hope you find what you see in the vids, "refreshing"!

    Don"t forgetthe fish with the rainbow on its side, and the noble salmon,when the rivers ran sweet.
    Cook them in clay or ashes (ashes have a vital nutrient). And sea bass, that you can remove the bones, before cooking, all at once. And crayfish from the American South.

    creo que ahora lo he comprendido, os prohibieron cultivar vuestros alimentos y os abligaban a comprar unos pocos productos en los supermercados que ellos tenían.
    Lo siento, no lo sabía, ahora comprendo la situación.
    Claro aquí no pasa como en la América Hispana, donde todo el mundo come comida india, mestiza o española con independencia de su origen racial., Aquí os han IMPUESTO LA COMIDA. Ahora lo entiendo.
    Por Dios¡ con lo mal que comen los ingleses¡,
    Mucha suerte y si os sirve de ayuda, las cocinas nativas de méjico o perú son buenísimas, están consideradas por los cocineros españoles como algunas de las mejores del planeta. En la mejicana usan los productos americanos, bueno con la presencia de vegetales saborizantes cebolla, ajo, culantro, especias orégano, sésamo, limón. Lo único no es sano es el uso de la mantequilla de cerdo. Algo raro , por qué en españa no la usa nadie. Por lo visto los olivos no se adaptaron al clima, pero y los girasoles, que son de américa?

    I would encourage Native Elders and all Native people to consider a plant-based or vegan diet to combat diabetes....

    • @iii-amira-iii8292
      @iii-amira-iii8292 Před 3 lety +3

      Original Native American diets were based with meat, only lean meats. The reason why natives have a high diabetic rate is because of the lousy, shit, commodity food the government gives to the reservations since their people live on or under the poverty line.
      Nowhere near vegan, never was, never should be.
