- "What Native Elders Think About Indigenous Cooking." Brian Yazzie, a Diné/Navajo traveling chef now based in St. Paul, MN, brings Native cuisine back home to the Navajo Nation in Arizona. There he looks for truly Indigenous ingredients, as even "classic" Native comfort foods like fry bread have colonizer origins. Brian plans to make meals for a small group, just his family and local community leaders, but when word spreads and suddenly he's cooking for a large group of curious and impatient community elders, how will Brian impress them? Watch him make blue corn mash with agave syrup and seeds, plus Navajo steamed corn soup, in a crammed kitchen full of curious elders who think he should be on "Rachel Ray."

As an African American raised in the South, I know the horrifying stress of cooking for elder women. You are a very brave man.
😂😂 so real
I really want to see native American restaurants more often. I grew up with an Iroquois village at the local county fair every summer, but I can't ever remember seeing a booth for native cuisine!
I love the idea of Native American cultural foods! If you build it they will come! I wish you great success and luck!
You come from a good place! Best of luck to you!😊😍
Renenut888 Renenut888 what is a $5 Indian?
native foods are healthier, well before the fats were added. (pork, cattle. chickens?)
oh please they ate everything raw they dont have a cooking culture. spam in native culture? he is showiung a food culture that flourished from the white mans products. this is not food they ate way before the europeans came. Its not valid.
@@ElMakz That's like saying spaghetti sauce can't be Italian because Italy didn't have tomatoes until they were brought over from the Americas.
It would be beautiful if he could turn his old home into a restaurant! Someplace where he can offer cooking classes, serve traditional meals and dishes and plant gardens of Native herbs and vegetables that his people used in the old days! And maybe even raise a few animals that they could use like buffalo, deer, elk, etc. With a menu that allows from a customer to try foods that are very old tradition to some of the newer traditional foods.
Please if he decides to try this and does a GoFundMe let us know here because I'd like to help! And if there is a way to contact him please let me know. Thank you so much this video was very inspiring.
Great idea ! 🤓😇🌹
Yeah, this guy busted his tail in chef school so he could donate his life to that mess. Get real.
@@lisahinton9682 What's the mess? The food?
@@ingenueblue8914 she is the mess.
me lmao
Thank you sharing this. Its important to show that these plants are foods, not weeds. Many weeds are edible in the right season.
Weeds are just plants you don't want in your manicured garden... But most can be eaten.
The term "weed" is so arbitrary and subjective. What some people call a "weed" is healthy and tasty food to others.
Corn is a weed in a wheat field.
krnpowr the entire native population was considered a weed once, fuck that, the ground grows it for a reason, we’re all weeds!
"these plants are foods, not weeds." Then you go on to call them weeds again! lol FOOD!!
I’ve never had food like this, although it’s familiar to Mexican food. My grandmother was Tarahumara and she used to make these blue corn cookies that I loved so much. She never gave anyone her recipe although they’re made everywhere in Mexico. But they don’t taste like my grandma’s. 😢 Seeing this is so beautiful. Keep the traditions alive.
Ah’ééh’éé Brian! You are an inspiration to our People. We are soooooooooo proud of you! Keep doing what your doing. Nízhoní!
WHAT TRIBE ARE YOU FROM ?? IF YOU DON'T MIND ME..
Apache/ Yaqui here!.. Lol
@@extraterrestrial3509 Pawnee,and Chickasaw
@@extraterrestrial3509 well they have Navajo words so maybe Navajo?
💜
As I age, I have come to realize how blessed I have been. I grew up being taught to forage, grow, and store my own foods. It is sad to see those things being lost to time. Thank you for revitalizing those things for your people. My you be blessed in your endeavor. Perhaps some day I will get the chance to taste those dishes.
I love that you Are conscious about being Respectful to your elders. Many young people don’t these days.
Most aren't even respectful to anyone at all, even themselves. A sad time we live in.
Quit assuming the youth to be disrespectful or uncaring towards our elders. ignorant
@@evelynesqueda4997 I see it daily. The youth is not what they used to be
ClapBackTrapper That’s what every generation older than the newest one has always said, nothing has changed just your age
Wonderful to see you Contributing to your Culture and bringing back Native foods. You are an Asset to the future of the Navajo Culture. Too many Traditions are being lost. You Brian are an Inspiration not only to your people but to all Native people of the world......Blessings!
Ya'at'eeh Brian.. Nizhónígo iina' iinila (fulfilling your purpose).. Keep up the good work.. Diyin Bóhólníihii nihik'ijidlíi doo, áádóó nido ni ghan na'áhályą́ą doo..
Be Blessed!
Ahéhee' nitsaago
Seriously you should be on Rachel Ray. People need to see you cook!!!
I love seeing my indigenous brothers and sisters doing good! ❤️
I love this so much. My grandma has passed, but I still make the Chamorro foods she made. I feel him. She's passed, but I still worry that she's watching and judging my Estufao! So much love transmits through traditional foods.
"eating weeds" is also done on Corfu, in Morrocco, France and Italy although it is dying out- and yes the elders know about which ones are the ones to pick and how to cook them... Thank you! Keep doing what you're doing!!
Sicilians eat dandelions, wild arugula and purslane too!
This deserves more views!
He needs to do a live cooking show,, F $&^/£^ ing, Quarantine BS
I would agree - I wanted video to keep going, for sure! Great to learn and meet the Navajo. Interesting Brian Yazzie is now working in MN (coming from Navajo people & 4 corner area). I believe Ojibwe and Lakota people in Midwest area (MN, Dakotas). I am from MN and lived in AZ many years. I have been to Pow Wows and gatherings in both states- my son is Navajo & Mexican (from Dad's side). Maybe a video on different tribes; associations; differences? That would be interesting. When I go to St. Paul, to visit fam, will look you up. Stay blessed during these uncertain times. Thank you Navajo people for letting us be a part of your gathering. Thank you for sharing, Brian.
@tim conway
Ya probably use mayo as lube when your uncles come over.
Colleen Peterson was the a good

This is just a beautiful story of returning home, showing respect while teaching new things of value. Loved it.
I feel like rejuvenating native American cuisine would be an excellent way to get people interested in the culture
Maybe in addition to leaving a comment you could share this video and start a conversation about indigenous people and their cuisine. Step out of your bubble and learn about the culture before you mention anything about “rejuvenation”. Native American cuisine is not a fad or a trend.
@MysteriousOklahoma Ahh, the sweeping demonization of a whole ethnicity. Lol.
Check out Sioux Chef from Minneapolis, MN
YEEEEEESSSSSSS!!! Native American food and history and culture needs to be celebrated and preserved 👍😊
Definitely curious trying new foods. I have tried my mom friend place she cooks aboriginal cuisine so always nice try different styles of food.
I’m Mexican and I raised 2 daughters that are Navajo, I’ve always taught them to be proud of who they are and that they come from a great people. My oldest is off to college in a couple of weeks and I’m so proud and thankful that I had the opportunity to be a father to them. They will go on and do great things in their lives, keep on what your doing brother, you are an inspiration to us all and much respect to you and your people.
I love how he was talking about the hardships everyone went though and the grandma started joking, which is true Native fashion.
This guy should start a cooking channel, he has a golden personality. Peace from the Maliseet Nation in Eastern Canada!
As I have come to terms with what my ancestors did when they colonized this country, I realized to my great regret how much culture, medicine and knowledge was lost along with countless Native Peoples. You are doing amazing work re-introducing your community to Native food sources. I applaud you.
This video brought tears to my eyes.Such a sweet young man and very respectful to elders.Being Indian It made me real hungry for that soup.I love three sister soup is my favorite.Do like a good corn soup and a buffalo burger.Maggie here from New York ❤️🙏👍👵
Same
Its good to see that you didn't forget where you come from and the importance of our elders. We continue to install that into our children up north. Greetings from the Seneca people
I really loved the concept of bringing pre-colonial food preparation ideas/techniques back into the tribe’s modern life. I consider myself an ongoing student of history and cultures, and learning about the origins of unique peoples such as Native American tribes is a gift. I am looking forward to exploring more of this PBS series, I hadn’t heard of it before.
I admire this guy sooo much. Its highly important to keep tradition alive, I pray more pop up vendors of natives expand throughout the country
🔱thank you Chef Brian for bringing forth dishes from our ancestors and raising awareness to health concerns in our modern day. We, Navajo people, are very proud of what you are doing as an individual and inspiring others, like myself, to try and open our minds (and not to think all weeds are bad) and to make traditional foods with what is around us 🔱
Mikey Junior's RUclips Adventures Yes we are. Ahééhéé Brian!!
Love from IRELAND.XXX🍀🍀🍀😘😷❤️
Ya'ah-teh! Thank you so much Brian Yazzie for sharing this great video about What Native Elders Think About Indigenous Cooking. As a non Diné, I have been attuned to Native-American culture for decades. This is how people should live and respect the land, nature, animals, etc. I wish I had the power to undo the hundreds of years of colonialization of Native-American nations and bring back all the wonderful people and their nations, languages, etc!
I am so proud of you and what you have done for the elders they really enjoyed that.
"We just have to reconnect with the landscape and know what food is instead of calling it weeds"
💯. Love what you are doing. Love this movement that is happening all over the world. Cannot wait to see more of your work.
From the book '1491'by Charles Mann, First Nations domesticated 2/3 of the World's food, so there are many meals that could be made that have ingredients only from Turtle Island!
That's cuz the blacks here are the natives
BLACKS WERE THE FIRST NATION

I live in a food hub with lots of American & international food restaurants. I was talking to a local Native American that I met at an event and the topic of food came up. I asked him why there weren't any Native American restaurants and he told me it was because the food is boring. It made me sad because food is such an important thing in our area but the original people aren't represented.
I'm glad this man is looking past it and bringing back those old recipes as much as he can. Best of luck!!
Looks very good. So nice to teach what can be done with food to make it interesting. Cookbook time
I just started crying at the beginning because I thought if I were to see Native Americans in person I would probably cry again because you guys have been through alot AND I see you guys as KINGS & QUEENS!!!
Thank you 💙
I'm glad you're still here making a difference.

This makes me happy to see. It broke my heart as a poor child, that my buddys food was eagle milk and flour and sugar and beans. He was worse off than we were. As a child i could read that situation and knew it was wrong. As an adult its still hard for me to fathom oppression. I could feel his family's resentment toward me and i stubbornly stayed his friend. I can understand the resentment, but i wish as an adult and a human, they couldve appreciated someone embracing them, rather than keeping one at arms length. Wandering the mesa looking for shards and arrowheads and chewing yucca for brushes with my pal burgess. I hope he has fond memories and hasnt had it rough.
Bless you brother 😎Excellent ❤️
This was a real eye opener towards weeds to plants that can be consumed by people. Thanks so much and I pray you keep broadening your visions. God bless you👍🥰🙏🏽
Interestingly enough. A lot of the "European" cooking derives from ingredients imported. Irish and Spanish merchants took peppers, potatoes, various gourds, tomatoes all came from the American continent. Studying trade routes and movements of people. Keep up the good work ... Cooking is life
I grew up in foster care but found out I'm Blackfoot. I dream of learning about my ancestors and the old ways. I love to cook and making a traditional Blackfoot meal from before the white man is a dream.
Im a Gypsy man I didn't grow up with Gypsy people but I found my way back to them ,,, just reach out to your people their arms will be open , good luck brother . 😎
These people in this video are just Hispanic! They’re not apart of the indigenous tribes of the USA🇺🇸maybe they’re indigenous of Mexico Central and South America🙄I can’t believe people think that Mexico and USA are the same country and they’re like ok we still indigenous no matter if we are Mexican and I’m like🙄🙄yeah right dude and my ancestor was Chief Joseph😂😂😂
@@adamwest3266 dude chill. when he said the "white man" its just a blanket statement for the settlers who came to america and treated indigenous badly. Literally no one but yourself has included that you are one of the "white men" hes referring to. snowflake
@@fionaokeefe1906 "Hispanic" people are indigenous/mestizo.. hispanic isn't even a proper term, it is just used to help when talking about latinos, but culture in peru is very different than culture in mexico. same goes for every other country, and most of them have adopted indigenous practices through music and food etc. from their ancestors
@@fionaokeefe1906 wow....the ignorance.
Amazing. Thank you. ❤
It melts my heart watching him cook for his elders and how they all responded so favourably.
I love what you're doing, Brian. You're an inspiration. I wish you much success!!!
Wow didn't even know our mutton travelled that far. Great video, thank you for sharing this story
#YazzieTheChefTV #SubscribeNow
Awesome little brother . Proud of you . Nice to see your mom doing well !
❤❤❤I have so much respect for who you are and what you are doing❣
Beautiful.
I've never really traveled anywhere much at all outside of Canada, but I know the power of food because of this. I like to try to make recipes that would be traditional to my ancestors. Being part Irish means Saint Patrick's day is a family day complete with food and games for all ages. Never having been to Ireland myself I don't know if I making things right, but one of my friends from England paid me one of my favourite compliments saying my scones taste just like what his mother made him growing up.
Having come from an island but living on the mainland now, a good seafood dish can transport me back home straight to my grandmother's kitchen
Thank you for sharing this video. Hope to see more like this one. You should consider doing a live cooking class would love to learn new and old recipes.
I appreciate what you said about fried bread, and thank you for sharing its origins. I think it's often overlooked that it's a symbol of oppression/still colonisation. In New Zealand, we also have fried bread (aka frybread) and it seems so odd to me that it's held up as a "classic Māori food" when it's literally a post-colonial contact food...
This was so special to watch. I hope there will be more content like this going forward on PBS. Really special to see this community pre covid, I pray that when we get through this we will have learned more about each other. What Chef Tassie does is beautiful.
This is great! Thank for making an enlightening and awesome video.
My 1st time to watch, please have more videos. It was very interesting to watch & listen to all of this video. May God Bless You & Yours.
Wow ... That lady's hair is so long and nice.
Awesome he's on my Facebook friends! A'ho✊🏽
It is an inspiration for me to see our northern brothers seek their historical and cultural roots when it comes to traditional cuisine. Our languages, cultures, the oral histories of our elders, cuisine, etc. should be preserved for the generations to come despite what has already been taken from us...In Guatemala we live as we have for a very long time...and despite maintaining our traditional cuisine quite efficiently, our languages are at risk due to young people not wanting to learn them...popular media is usually only in Spanish...
Wow! Excellent, tremendous, amazing! You showed us foods and history, and culture, thank you for the education. I wouldn’t have known any of this.
If he does recipe a book I will buy one. My Great Grandmother and Grandmother married white men and all traditional tribal culture ended for our family.
It's never too late to bring back the traditions back to life.
Same. My great grandma was Choctaw and Cherokee. Full native. I know how to make fry bread and had an old Cherokee saddle blanket that I have no idea what my dad did with but that's all I know and a bit of knowledge of wild edibles my father showed me at a young age. That's okay, I identify with Jesus Christ. There is no genealogy in Christ the Lord has shown me.
@2 Cold are you as ashamed of being all stupid? Sounds like their grandmothers were smart and found the men they wanted. Didn't realize it was up to racist like you to choose their husbands for them. Oh and my grandmother was full Sik Sika (Blackfoot) and like their grandmothers she married a white man( mostly he was quarter Choctaw). But unlike theirs my grandmother was one of the many children taken and given to white people to raise in the late 1800's. On her tombstone it reads "Born a proud Blackfoot, Died and proud American." She embraced her life and loved America and taught her children to as well. Maybe you should try it and shake that hate out your heart.
Yes me too
Sebastian Benitez why is it sad? What if they where happy? What if it was true love? Does that not matter? Just blood and genealogy matters? I don’t think so.
Be on Rachel Ray....he needs his on cooking show...
Rachael Ray is racist
more than rachel ray, if this person made a youtube channel making cultural foods I'd be there watching every video, lol.
Yugen Utopia no she just wants real indigenous cooking of the USA not Mexico or Asia or wherever this man’s real heritage is! Ok I want to see native people of the United States not of Mexico....I want to know about the tribes here in my own country not about the Inca Aztec and Mayan ok they are in Mexico!
Nah..... she cooks unhealthy food.
Everything l saw is beautiful, l cried to hear the drum, dancing, talking in their native language, their colorful clothing. Thank you for having it on you tube.🇺🇸
So awesome.I have no knowledge of edibles that look like weeds .And to use what your ancestors used,it's so interesting !
I'm subscribing! (Disclaimer, I am white, desended primarily from European immigrants.) I understand the environmental importance of consuming local and wild foods. I have taken a foraging class, began experimenting in the kitchen with "wild food" and I am eager to learn more from this chanel. Thank you!
Does my soul good when i listen to a young man demonstrate respect to his elders. Es todo!
I think it is great that you haven't forgotten where you came from and you still want to honor that. And it is great that your bring back what your learning to the elders, they seem to really enjoy it.
That great ,too cook for the ederly, great chef ,congratulations Sir.
From a Mezoamerican, you're doing good.
* no they’re not the same please stop it ok we know Latinos in the USA need pennies and if those big casinos and CDIB cards can help pay your way then just be honest, like why lie?!? We all know you’re of Hispanic heritage just say it! Why say I’m indigenous of the USA🇺🇸this is the United States and that doesn’t include Mexico, the Philippines, or Europe....ok not even Puerto Rico its a territory but not a state and even though they’re considered citizens they are not treated as such! So there’s that!
Tamalez, tortillas, pupusas the majority of meso american food is indigenous
Fiona O'Keefe you have no idea what you’re talking about
@@fionaokeefe1906 shutup karen
@@fionaokeefe1906 latinos need pennies? Lmao. Whered you get that, some backwater town in KY? The America's, both north and south, share the same haplogroups in DNA. Culturally the groups may vary wildly, but genetically we are a group. Theres one group that doesnt have direct genetic lineage. The rest are connected.
That was amazing!! I felt the relief when the Elders liked his food!! I legit could cry because I am so happy that he is out there sharing his knowledge and his roots like this
This definitely sparked a memory for me.
When we lived in Spokane Wa. My neighbor was the Granddaughter to Joseph Moses the Shaman for the tribe at the beginning of the 1900’s.
Clara was in her 80s. When I met her.
She would tell me her stories of how she grew up, the wild foods they ate, the medicine plants they used.
That was one of the richest memories I have,
I miss her greatly. She had a very hard life.
Rest In Peace, Tummi Rest In Peace🌈♥️🌹🌈
For the majority of my life I didn't know I was indigenous, until I started doing some digging into my families history. Now when I look back at the foods we were eating and how the first things taught to us it make so much more sense now. Unfortunately i descend from a tribe that sustained a lot of loses both culturally and historically, but somehow we survived. People forget that the first slaves were the indigenous peoples and the Africans were in smaller numbers and were not introduced until about a hundred years later.
Would love to have recipe for some of those myself. I have native Blueberries, Black berries, trying to grow some of the heritage foods. Have deer, elk, rabbits, and wild turkeys in my back yard (9acres). Really want to be able to put this stuff together to make foods that are just as filling as the processed food you can buy. Only healthier for the native american genetic based food requirements.
I Love to see the cultural differences and the respect for our elders. Thank you this was Amazing
Food is love in all cultures , an I love that we can connect, learn, an love around food!! I love the education I'm getting watching this! Thanks for sharing your lives with us... I am grateful for you all✌🏼💗😊❣️
Goin back to our Native Ingredients is the Way to Go!! Simple Healthy and Strong!!...
😎❤👍👍
THIS MAN IS A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF LOVE!💞💞💞💞🌎🙏🦋🌻🌲🌱🍃🌄🐌🌌🌠🌈🤗
There are so many good reasons for bringing back the old foods....health, culture, local economy. I wish you the best as you pass on the knowledge.
I definitely learned something new today watching this. Always learning in life. What a awesome dude. His ideas and energy are what leaders are made from in the indigenous tribal community.
I like indigenous cooking. Always wonderful to return to roots. My mom makes vegetable soup with short ribs. Which is pretty good. I like Succatosh. And i'm planting Green Beans. ELDERS SAY use Aloe Vera to your hair. It makes it strong Black and thick. That looks good Chef. I like to Help our Native Kids . I donate to the schools
I wish I could work with you. it's interesting and healthy choices! Keep up the Awesome work and what your doing.👍😊
Thank you brother. It just makes my heart happy, cry with tears of joy to see our ppl together.
Great job, young man! It's good to see you showing indigenous foods to people. I didn't know fry bread was a "bad" thing. My family were friends with a Pueblo Indian family, and the Mom used to make fry bread, and MAN, was it good! Best part was being invited to pow wow's in Wichita, KS, and actually being allowed to dance in the circle. Also got to meet a real Pueblo chief. For a 7 year old white kid, it was the coolest! Please keep up the great work!
Insightful, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this. ❤❤❤
I am so glad you are working on this. I've looked for indigenous recipes and find post colonization recipes which are interesting but not what I was looking for. I wish you success and hope to see more, maybe some insights and recipes, prep methods etc. Subscribed.
I'm from White Earth. Glad our rice blessed you and yours! Loved the video. I love your views and how you respect your elders.
Most of all the elders respected you! Much love bro!
Amazing looking food. This beats the stuff around my neighborhood!
:)) You are in the wrong neighborhood. Mine is full of rabbits, ducks, Canadian geese, blackberries everywhere, oysters/clams/mussels and everyone's favorite, sockeye salmon. Not to mention raspberries, blueberries, salmonberries and mushrooms!
This is so interesting and amazing to see. I would love to see more.
This is pretty cool. As a young man I got to spend time with the Indian tribes in Colorado, Arizona and New Mexico. Watching the ceremonial dances and eating the native foods.
I was greatly affected by many of the things I saw and experienced while spending time with the various tribes. I became a more spiritual person and gained a deep respect for our Native Americans. I am now 69, but I still hear the chants and I still see the dancers.
I dont know what analog in my youtube got me to your channel.amd this video. I'm so glad.
I grew up in cities in my younger years and now live in more rural area. I get to relive my excitement about learning how much healthy abundant food is so available and naturally growing in the environment. And the many uses of the plants and flowers. It enriches my life and has definetly created a healthier, happier connection to cycles and place.
Thank you again!
Mitakuye Oyasin Brother 🌻🙌🏾🙏🏿🦅
Everything looks delicious! Definitely would make the soup & mash as they're vegan meals!!! ✨
Nothing like food to bring a community together and share the richness of a culture with others! Bravo sir!
How wonderful this is
He's analyzed very well the history of the break in the natural food chain to processed foods and given the supreme psychotic culture of disrespect and evil of being given land that doesn't grow a lot of foods but he is wise to know what is edible and thus healthy. Interesting how he like many around the world are awakening to going back in order to go forward as he attempts to bring historical memories and garnish the Respect of the elders while bridging Other cultural exposure with his traditional. And he does a good job.
And I will add as I observed 30 years ago that the change in food from the Earth effects the physical health disease state and how the mind thinks. Clearly a Contribution of inflammation producing foods contributing to the devestation of loss of life they are experiencing with Covid19. Eat, drink 5-10 Different variety of herbs a day and strongly reevaluate that which you call food my Diné Family and REEVALUATE that which you have been told is food which is processed. My prayers are with you 🙏
i met some navajos when i was playing pool in vegas. the food seemed much hotter then here in minnesota. it was good but too spicy to eat every day. think i will stick to wild rice soup and mn fry bread. just a personal choice. good video
Dude, you are awesome. I am ojibwe descent and have revently started to look into more local edible food too! Will share this video as much as possible to promote indigenous food!!!!
Please make a recipe book! I’d buy it. Also would be amazing to get on Rachel Ray! Lol. If you did make a recipe book and put the stories and history of the recipes and food items people could learn about your culture and maybe care more of what the tribes still are going through. Blessed be. 💕💕
STIYU!
(Cherokee/T'salagi)
Never met a Navajo that I didn't like.
Date their women then you might change your view lol jk my lady is Navajo been with her for almost 3 years now
You should meet my son's mother lol
I love eating "weeds."
Every plant has a purpose as a food, medicine, or poison.
Honestly, if my ancestors hadn't been so busy playing my-god-is-better-than-your-god and LISTENED instead we'd all be better off.
Truth
Amen to that; no pun intended.
Noble Savage ad naseum
Nice Video clip! Forgive me for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Rozardner Delicious Dishes Reality (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great exclusive product for stockpiling food for an emergency without the hard work. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cousin finally got great results with it.
You don't think the religious differences are overhyped to make a disturbing amount of theft feel less yucky?
Columbus was imprisoned for his treatment of the natives. Initially the church was very opposed to the way natives were being treated as many were already converted to christianity and Europe found the idea of Christian slaves disturbing in the 1600s. Yeah your/my ancestors were religiously intolerant, but that's not why 95/100 edible birds in NA are extinct, 97% of trees cut and the bison gets a national park kinda. Nah that's because of greed, jealousy, and flat out unresolved, unaddressed theft.
US gov collects $3,500,000,000,000 (3.5trillion) every year. (1 trill goes to military lol) giving 10% to native Americans for ONLY 10 years would be $4.5 trillion dollars and would be enough to give every single surviving Native American in the US $1,000,000. that's 5,500,000 native millionaires, today. And that's scraps imho. You think with those resources they wouldn't replant the nation themselves???
I'm part white so it's not judgment of the history as much as the convo. we need to call it what it is, theft, so things can be fixed in the future.
I had the opportunity many times to enjoy Native American dishes....the best tasting..delicious. Awesome to see the respect for your elders. Keep cooking those great recipes.
Hope to learn more... first video. My babies are native and my older brother is South American native from a tribe called the Mapuche. I've always loved and respected the art and history of natives...... It's awesome to see there is art even in the food. Awesome video
