What Is “Pre-Colonial” Cooking?

- "What Is 'Pre-Colonial' Cooking?" Seattle-based chef Hillel Echo-Hawk focuses on traditional Pawnee foods, before Columbus and colonization, which means no dairy, no chicken, no processed sugar, all foods that led to an increase in obesity among Native people. Her catering company, which emphasizes hiring an all-Native staff, is preparing for its largest gig ever, a Seattle arts event for 100+ people, serving Native cuisine like Pawnee blue corn mush with Ojibwe maple syrup, honey Lakota popcorn, cedar-cooked tepary beans with pine roasted butternut squash, and sweet potatoes with pecans. After a late night of work, zero sleep, and seemingly everything going wrong, will Hillel and her team be able to pull the event off?

I think having a garden at every Native school is a GREAT idea, especially if they could grow from heritage seeds. It gets kids more involved and from that garden, kids could learn about science and history and their heritage.
Wait. How about, a garden in *every* school? Like, our school is mostly concrete and it's really sad.
A garden program teaching ALL students to grow food in EVERY school in this nation. There is absolutely no reason for children to not able to feed themselves healthy food. Heirloom seeds should be utilized as they are reliable and better production. They can also be saved while hybrids don't save consistently.
@@terenceangelo8714 No one is saying that you can't do that too. We are here talking about native schools. Talking about our communities is not taking away from you....
@@sallygreimes6585 No one is saying that you can't do that too. We are here talking about native schools. Talking about our communities is not taking away from you....
And bring back Native agriculture classes too getting outside with cultural knowledge on Ranching and farming.
As a Hispanic I can relate to what she is talking about. She has the answer to what is killing indigenous people and will educate them on reversing bad habits. My family would benefit from this type of cooking.
Same here. I hate that everyday us “latinos” lose our indigenous culture.
yeah alcoholism and meth is killing them
hmp, the gods are not impressed at all
Hi my name is Cerise Winter Song and I am from the Montauk/Shinnecock/Algonquin Tribes. I am also an International Executive Chef and I have been taken advantage of only 2 times because I made them sign a special contract after that so I would not be cheated! and it worked.They had to pay a deposit first then the rest on that day, I even charged them 25% more if the payment was late or not given the day of. Be strong and serious about your art! Because they don't know our food like we do and its your are and your special skill, If they are excited to try it don't cheat yourself! know your worth and don't be afraid to stand your ground because they will take advantage. so show them that they can't in a nice way. Set your price and that's it and don't short yourself. Sending love and hugs!!
I'm of Charrúa descent, (a tribe from Uruguay, south america) and i barely know stuff from my ancestors because they were mostly killed or transformed to christianism, the last Charruas were sent to france to a fucking zoo, there is barely any documentation about their culture and it tends to vary between sources
Los churrúas fueron exterminados en 1826 en Uruguay de hecho no hay pueblos indigenas propios del territorio.
So amazing and inspiring. It is such a beautiful thing that you have indigenous peoples from anywhere around the world, giving us their true cultural cuisines and ingredients! It shows what the true American food is.
I wonder if there are any Aboriginal restaurants or chefs in Australia that cook Aboriginal cuisines and have their ingredients and resources that they use to cook their traditional foods?
she should make a cook book...this is impressive to me ...thanks for sharing
This is not only delicious, but also makes sense.. like "How come we never thought about this???"
1,000 for 150 people!?!? That's $6.66 per plate. What's the profit on a meal like that?
I doubt she made $50 in profit. She had to hire help.
So the menu is cornmeal mush, popcorn, beans, squash, sweet potatoes. Sounds delicious as a vegan menu but very carb-heavy, I would have loved to see how they would make a protein
Beans are high protein. But they'd have game meat as well in a traditional diet
Beans are protein. Averaged out through the year we ate a fraction of animal protein most Americans eat today. Reading "The Blue Zones" longest lived groups of people around the world ate closest to that.
As a mezoamerican; you're doing good.
Pawnee Nation in the house!! Much love sister
Love it!! 💙
You know that Mexico is the American Italy, I put it that way so you can understand open you're eyes
Mexica is the rome of the Americas.
@stone man exactly. Think of all the foods that Italy is famous for, none of it would be shit without things like tomatoes which are native to the Americas and didn't make it to Europe until the 1500s and then was not popular for a while. Pizza needs tomato, polenta needs corn, gnocchi needs potatoes. All indigenous to the Americas.
This was great -- and having a garden at every Native school is such an amazing idea. However, I feel the need to point out that neither honey bees nor apples (except crabapples) are native to the Americas. Or earthworms, oddly enough. Not that anyone was eating earthworms.😅
I'm not sure about up north, but, stingless "honeybees" are native to Mayan culture and were found even in Mexico (likely imported).
and the highest rate of not starving to death, nah, keep on rockin
1000$ for a 150 people? It's ridiculous price for a country like US
they had game Bird's and the turkey in Mesoamerica.
That honey popcorn, is that honey with popcorn on it, or is that a varietal of corn?
Based on how it sticks together I'm guessing she drizzles it with honey, but since she says she doesn't serve colonial food to her people that can't be right. Can anyone confirm?
@@jamesanthony5874 i think the honey gets cooked down a bit to get stickier
Are you trying to imply that popcorn is European?
Maize is corn and popcorn is a variety of maize, and when the kernels of this are heated it pops. Natives have been enjoying Totopoca aka popcorn for thousands of thousands of years.
Honey was also widely used and cultivated by natives way before colonizers.
I’m hungry now!
God Bless my dears ❤️❤️❤️😘🌞🌈👍
All these colonials so pressed they have to deal with the reality that this isn't their land and they still don't want to acknowledge we are still here. Wild
Wonderful video, is it the meat of chicken or the manner of cooking it that leads to obesity?
@Blob Monster "Overly dramatic" hmm... I see you don't have the concept of colonization and the impact of these foods on our health.. removal from our homelands to barren lands with nothing to hunt or unfamliar foods to gather... governement rations of colonial foods that cause heart disease, diabetes, and a range of other life threatening conditions, extreme poverty that creates a situation of cheap processed foods being more accessible, food deserts on the rez with nothing but junk, having it illegal to practice our culture...losing much of our food knowledge. Yeah, sure. Overly dramatic.
This woman reminds me of a actress but I cant put my finger on who it is!!!
I would suggest not yeeting the chicken out though. You can eat it without going full KFC with it and it's good.
Gordon Ramsay should look into this
The gypsys say you need a girl get the mush hehehe
Indians running on indian-time haha

No disrespect to you I don't know you the pre-colonial is disrespectful to all native Americans.
Native American indigenous people we're here before any colonial.
pre-colonial means before colonists'...in other words Native American people
Ah yes pop corn.. that isn't colonialism at all lol
How would it be?
You do realize that's made from corn right
If those foods were "forced" on you, why do you continue to eat them?
The dissonance is REAL.
Honey bees are not indigenous to North America so honey, which is used in some of her cooking is also a colonial food product. Its all good to get away from the "colonial foods" so long as its convenient and suits a narrative.
hmm... I see you don't have the concept and completely lack knowledge of colonization and the impact of these foods on our health.. removal from our homelands to barren lands with nothing to hunt or unfamliar foods to gather... governement rations of colonial foods that cause heart disease, diabetes, and a range of other life threatening conditions, extreme poverty that creates a situation of cheap processed foods being more accessible and affordable, food deserts on the rez with nothing but junk, having it illegal to practice our culture which translates as losing much of our food knowledge. Yeah, sure. Definitely dissonance.
@@chickennugget6233 exactly
I'm sorry but dairy, chicken and even sugar is not what's making her people have heart disease and diabetes. A daily caloric surplus for year after year is the cause.

Yeah, sure. Let's just ignore the entire historical impact...
It’s not the amount of food one eats, it’s what is ingested and how it works with the body. You may be interested in learning about the gut microbiome.
