Navajo Cake with Grandma

[@forestraven5271]

I’m Mescalero Apache and Terra Humara and Spanish descent. I got to be stay with my grandma when I was in first grade till 4 th . She would let me help her cook in her outdoor kitchen. My dad was embarrassed of our heritage because he was college educated lol . My grandma passed away when I was 25 , I’m 70 now . Your grandma reminds me of mine .I miss her dearly, always cherish your moments with grandma ❤

Tyrell, thank you for preserving these moments in time and thank you especially for allowing us the privilege of spending the time with your family ❤

[@tyrelldescheny]

You’re more than welcome! I’m glad you and others enjoyed it just as much as we did that day.

[@catherinehazur7336]

Reminds me of making sweet tamales. The recipes seem similar

[@margieleon8044]

Yes, thank you

[@deborad3609]

Hear the native language of the Native Americans warm my heart and spirit. So amazing people. ❤️💪🙏

[@blackcitroenlove]

that's one of over 500 indigenous languages in the US alone

[@cillaloves2fish688]

You are so lucky to know and learn from your grandparents!! Not everyone has that chance, get as much knowledge as you can while they are still here. Help them whenever you are able... without them, your life would be so different. Take it from someone who never knew their grandparents...

[@sciencenotstigma9534]

Same here! My grandparents knew how to hunt, gather berries, and ride horses. After the Relocation Act and Indian Works Program, my dad and his siblings never learned those things. I didn’t know my gradfather because my grandparents split, and he went back to Browning, where he had to buy land (those programs cut off our entitlements), and my grandma was battling health problems. So we are now “urban Indians”.

Your grandma is in very good shape. Bless her n wish her long n healthy life, so the younger generation will learn from her

[@tyrelldescheny]

She sure is! Shes a young lady in her aged body but that doesn’t stop her. Shes capable of driving but for her safety they don’t allow her anymore.

Your gramma's time to shine. she sounds happy that you have a lot of success and that she taught you all these things. ayyy.

[@beauhudson8656]

This is great! I had a camera, the time and my grandfather, but I squandered the opportunity to record him. You and the rest of your family can see and hear what your great grandmother is/was like. If I had the opportunity again I would interview my late grandfather. To ask him questions about his family and way of life in his day, or what he would say to his great, great great and beyond grandchildren. Thanks for sharing. I miss seeing old grandmas with their scarfs and skirts and Chai with their old cowboy hat. In the coming years we will not see them anymore, so thanks for sharing a piece of your personal life with the rest of us.

[@kellyj4234]

I lost my grandma 4 months ago, and hearing your grandma speak brought me to tears… I miss her everyday. Thank you for sharing these precious moments. Cherish them.

Would love to see the end result! Do you pour on the hot sugar at the end? I got tired just imagining all that stirring! Your grandma at 90 is amazing hot weather, and stirring, and stirring. I get tired at 70 just stirring tapioca pudding until it gets thick! What a blessing your grandmother is.

[@tyrelldescheny]

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get the end results of it but I’m hoping to do another video for her birthday. She’s definitely one tough young lady who loves doing anything she can to help.

[@Disneylover024]

Thank you for sharing this amazing video. As I watch this video and heard them speaking in their native tongue it make me sad that I never learn to speak in my native tongue. I and half Chickasaw my father was sent to Indian Boarding school where he couldn't speak Chickasaw and he lost his language. He can understand some words but, that about it. I love talk to elders since they have many stories to tell.

Always great to see them both along with the Family there. One day we will all reunite. The grandparents always say, you have my ts’áá (Navajo Basket); when we get a chance to see each other. Totally need to make them one personally. They are such great loving parents and grandparents. Much love to you and the Begay Family back home. 👍🏾💟💯🪶🔥🫶🏽🫶🏽 so cute how grandma disc on how the generation now day about the phone. LoL

Yá'át'ééh, I had to watch this video It's so nostalgic. I too used to make this cake with my grandmother. She would tell me not to feed it to the sheep, and the goats it was not their food. It's she that gave me my Dine' blood. Seeing the rez is so bittersweet. It reminds me of family and friends. It also reminds of the hardships the Dine' and other Native tribes have gone through. I was born for the Black Sheep clan. Thank you for sharing your family with us.😺

This is an awesome video! Ummm is there a part 2.

I wish there was but that was all I was able to get. I’m sad but it keeps the mystery alive. Lol hopefully I can get more next time around for her birthday.

How is this finished baking? Is it covered up, does it cook overnight? It's so huge. I really wanted to see it finished and everyone enjoying it. Thanks for the video

[@tyrelldescheny]

So after we pour the batter in, we cover it with more corn husk, add a layer of sand and build another fire for a couple of hours 6-8 hours. Then once it’s cooled enough, we cut them out in block and take out from the ground.
