- Navajo Grandma -Ntsidigo'í Kneeldown Bread: Many people think that the only bread that the Navajos make is “Fry Bread” but there is a bread they make in the fall at harvest time called “Kneeldown Bread” (some call it Navajo Tamales). This bread is made of corn; not your ordinary corn, which is sweet corn, but a corn that is grown by the Navajos. First, the corn is shucked. Then, the kernels are scraped and then ground. Years ago, the Navajos would grind it on their knees, so it became known as “Kneeldown Bread.” Now, they have grinders that are easier to operate. Enjoy watching!
Hello everyone hear me .we need to pray for Navajo grandma ..come and pray with me everyone. Today hallelujah 🙌 thank u .

Ooh, excellent video and language tutorial! My Mexican friends up north often lament not having corn that makes tortillas. We have either sweet corn or cow silage corn. Most of the country has Monsanto gmo gasoline corn.thanks grandma
Wow great comment. I remember eating ciw corn which was rather harder & chewy. It's so different from regular corn grown such as this white corn. Glad you viewed my video. The after thought was I should have shown you all what the bread looks like. We ate all my bread like pigs. So yummie!!. Love you. Easy to make. My grandkids had helped & I had the after effects LOL! Corn hugs. Navajo Grandma
Ooo enjoy .. get warm 😘
Its a beautiful day during the video and just gorgeous. Gma
That does look good now I wanna try this sometime some with corn and some with other fillings I'm glad I watched this I didn't know it can be done this way have a great weekend Navajo grandma😀👍
Thanks for watching. Navajo Grandma
Can't wait to try this. Have to dig out the old grinder. Simplistic nutrition. This is what is lacking in today's preservitive filled menu. ❤
Nick, this is wonderful. I love roasted corn but this comes in a bread without anything. I love it and yes those who make it in the ground is amazing and gives it an even more taste but it is good. It is simple bread and tasty like roasted corn and popcorn LOL! It has a 10 day shelf life or even more even when it is put in a flour bag or pillow case like we did and hung. However you do it. But it is like hard later but putting it in a soup is added wonder. Added texture and yummie. Tell me how it turned out. Add more corn mush into t he husk and add more husk to wrap in. Love you. If you are in Indiana I am staying at the Sheraton in Indianapolis LOL! Come visit LOL! Grandma is headed to California after i return to visit with my grandchildren. My son found out he is going to be a grandfather to a little boy. I was so happy. That makes 27 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren and now more white hairs to dye. Goodness its lovely. LOL! After the visit gpa and I are head to California. Didn't you say you moved to NM? Where? I have to meet you brother Nick!! You are so amazing and such a wonderful tree hugger, I know. I am so proud of you for your naturalistic way of life. Its refreshing from McDonald living like the rest of the world.
Thank you grandma for showing us how to make kneel down bread. Yes, it is good😋.
You are so welcome and notice I am not perfect at it after my grandchildren helped make a mess that was so fun. I decided, I best make my video while I have this mess. It turned out pretty okay. Thank you for watching. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
And the place u are at is a relaxing place ..lovely
It was so gorgeous you are right. I love the Indian summer. Love it. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma yes sing praise the creator hallelujah 🙌
Hello grandma,tamales de elote 😋❤️❤️

❤❤❤
Hi dear grandma, that looks so good! Thank you for sharing this recipe! It's good to see you making videos! I hope all is well! It is nice seeing grandpa too! Haveva great day! Much love and peace! Ruth 💖
Well Ruth when you are still breathing, I say we are okay. I hope you are having fun with your projects and being kind to everyone. You are a jewel!! I love this bread and I had had my children help me and they left and I thought, hey I got some corn left over, why not make a video. So gpa and I stayed at the park and made this. Hugs from Navajo Grandma. I am in Ohio headed to Indiana. Meeting my adopted Navajo Grandma grandson in Indianapolis. If you live there, come and visit!! I am staying at the Sheraton in Indianapolis. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Now I know ! How kneel down bread looks like…. Thanks 🙏🏽 to Navajo Grandma ❤ Every time I drive through Shiprock, I see all the signs of kneel down bread for sale but I can’t stop to buy because I’m on a very tight driving schedule…. Thanks 🙏🏽 Navajo Grandma ❤ I LOVE YOU SO MUCH !!!!!
Ricart Grandma loves you too!! You are so wonderful and yes grandma and grandpa pray always for you while you are driving. You are never alone. You are loved and you matter and more so as a truck driving delivering necessities to the world. Thank you and you deserve more thanks daily. Yes, there are many signs in Shiprock that are out there. More so during this season. Happy to know you understand what I mean in the video. I know you can't stop but appreciate your point of view. Now drive carefully. Hope your family is well. We are in Iowa. Drove on I-80 across the top and Wow so many trucks going 80 mph and more. I was surprised. We pray for all truckers always wherever we go. We will be in Indiana for a couple of days for research then headed to Arkansas and Oklahoma. Thereafter we will visit with our grandchildren and my children, then headed to California. Praying the weather stays calm. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Hi Grandma, this was fun watching and i cant wait to try. The corn we bought last from a hispanic on the corner and the corn was super dried out. I will definitely be looking to make rhis soon. I love cornbread lol. So glad to see you loving on us through the prayers and food. Infinite blessings Grandma, and tell Grandpa hi. Safe travels. Cant wait to watch all the old and new vids to come! 🎉❤Love you Grandma ❤🎉
Happy to hear you are receptive to try this. While traveling I didn't do such a hot job but I know it's easier than pie. Let me know how it turns out. That's our seasonal Navajo bread. Yum!
Hugs, Navajo Grandma
❤ Thank You so very much Grandma ! Can’t wait to make some !
Well even my first try as I usually make this with friends and family in the reservation but did this here in the city. It turned out really yummie. I hope you try it and you need to add more corn mush to the husks and bake it. Enjoy its wonderful flavor and almost like eating roasted corn bread which it is. Its a Navajo traditional favorite. I should have shown you the dried bread for you to see but we all chomped it all down. Everyone just made more and there was none left. Even t he one I saved was scarfed down so fast i couldn't find it to show in the video. So good. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Navajo Grandma I was at a outside market. And I find 🌽 white 😊 lam going to try to make it ..😊
Wow I hope I can find some too. Lucky you
Tell me how the kneel down bread turns out.
Love you & proud of you.
Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I did find the corn 🌽 4 white ones am going to try this 400 in oven 30 mins .but lower the oven to 350 after when
I'm excited to try this
Ooo my family nhad a grander like that ..oooo 🤔
I have to borrow this grinder from my Navajo friend and she was so kind to do so. Mine is buried somewhere in my storage. I love you. Gma
Thank You Navajo Grandma
Love you! Happy Sabbath! Pray always. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
I’m SO excited for this video! I’ve wanted to grind my corn for tamales but I’m lazy lol. Maybe I’ll be inspired now. Corn is life for all of our people across the Americas. Thank you for sharing. Now I’m hungry😉❤️
Veronica this is simple dimple. Just do it. Tell me the results. You are so cute and honest. I love it!! Just get off your duff girl!! Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Loved this bet it is delicious. Better get some white corn.
Patricia, this is so simple. You can make this closing your eyes. It was my first on my own try and the bread was so good. Put more on the corn husk and it came out wonderful. I loved how it tasted even at my first time by myself. I have always done this with my reservation family and friends. They do this underground. I used an oven and it was still lovely. Hugs from Navajo Grandma. Patricia if you are in Indiana, Grandma will be staying at the Sheraton in INdianapolis and if you want to come by and visit I would love that. I don't know where people are but I offer t his no matter what. You are probably in Alaska right LOL! Hugs from Navajo Grandma
This is great, Iearned something new again from you. I'd love to try this. Those corn silk make a great hot tea for us women folk. Love you my sweet friend.
Hi pretty girl!! Thanks for watching and tell your hubby helloooo from all the way over here in Iowa where we are headed to Indiana for research. Giving both of you our prayers and loves. It must be getting cooler now right? If I knew how to get to you both I would drive there again, but if we have a route back towards okahoma, I would rather take you both out to dinner and visit where we met. I will talk to gpa and see what we are scheduled on our way back. I will call you. Miss you and love you both!! Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma oh my goodness Grandma, we're so excited 😊 Hopefully you can make it. We'd love to have you two here again. ❤️
@@amyeteel5379 I will keep you abreast of what & where we are. Remember that town where we met. Let's go have somewhere where we can have a nice meal. GPA likes excellent ribeye steaks. Is there a place like that where we met? Tell me the name of that town or city. Love you so.
@@NavajoGrandma we met in Bentonville , Big whiskeys is good, it's a steak house.
@amyeteel5379 Well we won't drink WHISKEY but heck yes want to break bread with you pretty girl and your sweetheart. Looking forward!! So excited!!!!!!

Hello grandma,bendiciones para ti❤❤
Bendiciones para ti también y gracias por ver Navajo Grandma. Estoy seguro de que sabes cómo hacer esto y está delicioso. Abrazos de la abuela navajo
That was awesome Grandma! Really interesting I liked it. Hey Grandpa is a star now beung on the other end of the camera. Beautiful background looks beautiful and peaceful. Walking peace and beauty Noth of you. The Wolf love you both. Hagoonee
Hi there Joseph. After my grandchildren all went home after making this with them, I thought, hey, why not make a video. Silly goose, then I went to work and it was a first time as I usually make this with aunties, friends or neighbors of long ago on the rez. It was a get this video together now thing. Appreciate you watching and seeing how beautiful this place was for this setting. We had fun and now we are in Iowa. What state do you live in Joseph? I will be staying at the Sheraton in Indianapolis if you live near Indiana. LOL! Come on over! I will be there a couple of days. Then headed to Arkansas to visit another subscriber and another on in Oklahoma. So let me know where you are. Navajo Grandma
Grandma I live in the state of Maryland. You are sure traveling alot these days. Tell Grandpa both of you should have your own Cooking Show! Love and walk in peace and beauty. The Wolf is always with you in spirit.
There are some Native nations there, Iowa, and Sioux northern.
@josephschmidt4157 do you live in iowa??? We are headed to Indiana right now. Joseph we could've visited you!!!
@@NavajoGrandma No Grandma the state of Maryland
Great video. some similarity to tomalles but also different. Our entire family works when my mother in law would make tomalles. lot a work but pays off in the end .... mmmmmmmmmmmm. This is something I will try. (will keep it culturally pure_) My mother in law use to have a matate , when she passed, one of my wife's cousins wound up with it. I never saw her use it though. She would tell me of the native plants and how to use them. We miss her.ok. ya take care and glad GP did ok. lol.
I admit I have never made tamales myself, don't mind trying. Great family information and how important each were especially your mother in law. What a gift you had under her tutelage.. Wow. Great information and hope you write these things down. So important. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Can't wait to make it. Looks simple to do.
Can you freeze it and eat it when you're ready to have it? I don't have a hand grinder. 1. Can I use a grater or blender for this? 2. Can they be placed in an upright position in a pot that goes into an oven, or does it need to lay flat?
Hi pretty girl, yes you need to lay them flat. I have never freezed them. They will come out crumbly I assume. You can freeze dry it if you have a machine that is over thousands of dollars. I don't have one. It will last a good 10 days in a dry place. That is what the Navajo people do or hang it in the kitchen and use it like bits and pieces in soup. Eating it fresh is best I think. Love you so much. Wish I could visit with you. I am headed to Indiana and in Iowa now. I thank you for being so receptive you silly girl!! Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Navajo grandma here were lam the corn comes out in the summer. But am going to try it .would it work the same with a chopper .??
Yup! Gma
Navajo Grandma nice to meet you! I would like to ask you an off topic question.
I am waiting to answer you and thank you to feel free to ask any question you desire. We are family and yes appreciate your candid questions. Where is the question and what is it? Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Thank you so much Navajo Grandma for allowing me to ask questions. I would like to know if the name of the great spirit creator of the whole world is YAHUAH? There is 2 movies that say the name YAHUAH first movie is called The Ruling Class 1972 and the other movie is called Gone to Texas 1986.
@@AlwaysDiagnoseVehicleFirst You know the spelling of this is always wrong or missing letters and soon it starts to sound wrong. I do know there is a way to say our Savior's name but I am not allowed to say it. Sorry. For the reason of great respect. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Besides the name of YAHUAH I've also heard more names like HAYAH, YAHAYAH and AHAYAH.
@@AlwaysDiagnoseVehicleFirst My Nali would only say His name only once a year, it was so reverenced. I have heard many words and I don't believe we are saying this right. I just can't repeat what my Nali used. It is reverenced and even I cannot use it. That is all I can respond. Sorry. Navajo Grandma
Hi Grandma, is it a sweet corn that you use?
You bet pretty girl and make sure it is WHITE SWEET CORN. Love you. Navajo Grandma
😅😅 I trune it back 3 times to try to say it right
Practice does make perfect and I love how you try hard to learn and always using my Navajo language in the comments. I love how you try and proud of you!! Gma
@@NavajoGrandma did u receive it 🤔
@jo-oe9zg Yes it arrived but when I get back I will get it from the PO. Axhehee!! Are u wearing your bracelet?? Lucky girl! Hugs from Gma
@@NavajoGrandma smile I listen to u .but l wear it when I go to bed or in the apt.alone l enjoy it hug 🤗
My mother and my grandmother had the hand-drive grinders like yours. I loved to turn the grinder to make all kinds of things. Meat, cheese, and fruit. Who needs blender?
If I want to use the stone method, where would I find one or how do i make one if I cant buy one?
Well go find a stream and there are lots of mill stone rocks you can choose from. Its not meant to be easy. But that is the best advice, or go online and buy a Navajo Grinding stones. Otherwise like most Navajo's do is to put it in a mixer and mix. Just learn the different ways of making this kneel down bread. Its not hard and what I did was the modern way. Hugs. Navajo Grandma and the oven method is in the DESCRIPTION at the top. Hugs.
And who is singing
J o you know that is Navajo Grandma LOL! I thought you would figure that one out. How's your week coming along? Is it snowing yet? Burrrrrr! Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma ooo it's cold .still praying..and learning a lot ..l enjoyed my smile ☺ tast great .but lwill lean to foiled it better ..it's fun to make .
@@NavajoGrandma the one voice that is singing on this one ..hug 🤗.
@@jo-oe9zg Always appreciate how you are so willing to learn. Love you tons. Keep warm!! Navajo Grandma
4oo then 350 in the oven
If you read the screen on the video, it says: Put oven to 400 degrees, bake the kneel down bread for 40 minutes at that heat. Then turn the bread over and don't change the oven heat leave it at 400. Then bake the turned over kneel down bread for another 20 minutes. Then take it out and cool it on a rack. You are done. Let the bread cool for at lease an hour or so then you can taste it. Yum. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
I love that you put the spelling for the navajo words.
Thank you. 😃
How long do you cook for Grand MA?
Baking in an oven you bake for one hour until firm to the touch. Good luck. Navajo Grandma
