Why You MUST Try Native American Cuisine | AJ+

I'm an Oglala Lakota teen who's been living on the Navajo Nation for years, and it made me happy to see how respectful you were and how you did your research and even made it educational for the viewers. It's definitely a breath of fresh air after how much we're neglected by the majority of the non-native population.

[@Spartan11248]

@@indigo-streak9912 Ignore that idiot Alaska native are considered native Americans sure they may have not had to go through the trail of tears and that was because the trail if tears was around 1843-1850 (might have started early that 1843 but it did stop around 1850) and Alaska was bought around 1860s so they didn't have to be part of the trail of tears. Now that being said the word native American was actually create in the 1960s (really) this was because they use to call native Americans indians and when they started using the phrase native American they included native Alaskans. Native Americans is a name for the people who were there before people colonized North America and since Alaska is apart of America after the us bought it they are considered native Americans because they were there before anyone else.

I also was told our food would be respected again. Those old Cheyenne Women were right about our food being sacred/healthy.

Mexican food is mostly Native American food. Beans, Corn, Squash, Chili's, Tomatoes, etc have been eaten by Mexicans and other indigenous cultures for thousands of years prior to colonialism. The spanish introduced different meats like pork and beef but Mexican cuisine still uses the primary ingredients that Native Americans have always used. A lot foods we consider Latin are actually Native American like Tortillas, Tamales, Nopales, salsa, etc are ancient foods eaten by cultures like the Mexica (Aztecs) where Mexico actually get its name from. Native food is alive as it has always been but great video and I agree that our Northern brothers and sisters should open more Northern style restaurants, id love to give them a try.

They burned all our books but 3 which survive and outlawed the language, very similar to what white men did in the Americas.

Dave Wesley sorry, just saw this. It’s still a theory that Native Americans migrated from Asia. There’s no solid proof on it yet. And even if they did, it was at a time when the rest of the world was migrating around too. But no one seems to discredit anyone else.

I ate at Tocabe when I visited Denver. Despite it being designed like a fast food diner, the food was high-class-restaurant-quality good! I recommend it for anyone in the Denver area. A few months later, I visited the Plimoth Plantation in Massachusetts and spoke with actual members of the Wampanoag nation (the first nation to encounter the Pilgrims in 1620). One member told me he was relieved because "we can be ourselves again" after having their way of life basically restricted for nearly four hundred years. It's refreshing to know that, for some Native American nations, their ways of life are being revived once more.

Yes but both the Palestinians and Israelis have ancestral ties to that land. The Israelites left because of multiple occupations, such as the Romans, Muslims, and the Crusaders which is a reason the Jews left. After WWII the Allies helped the Jews create the country of Israel. However, there were already Palestinians who lived that land after the Jews left. The Palestinians were also natives to that land and descend from the Canaanites. They did not leave that area. I don’t know why, maybe something to do with the Canaanites being Muslim so it may have aided them from persecution from other Muslims and it gave them more allies during the crusades. That is a hypothesis though so, very uncertain. In the end that land is ancestral homeland to both Jews and Palestinians. Southern Palestine/Israel originally belonged to the Canaanites while North was the Jews.

Yet we dont hate the white man for that burdens too much energy and takes up too much time. Time is valuable. All we wanna do is live comfortably like everybody else. We have so much rage. Thats why we take time to pray and burn sage. Honoring our fallen warriors who now lay silent in the graves across this continent. We are doing our best for dealing with this issue of rage. Time calls for healing. For the ancestors who died for us would want it that way. So today i prayed and layed down tobacco before the moon popped up in the sky. Sometimes i sit by the creek bed and ask why i say why did all this happen. All this war lead to no satisfaction. Just action with no solution. My elders slowly walked up to me and said this is just how things were back then. Europeans just want to win. They feel our lives is a game. But us indigenous folk we just wanna live. We love mother earth from within. We are all related. We are one. We have a undeniable connection with the sun. So no worries just love and pray for better days.

This video is basically focused on (U.S Natives) so while I get all the comments saying that Mexicans and other Latin American countries are rich with indigenous cuisine and the culture is alive and well(and our communities are spread out through the U.S and we have opened up restaurants and whatnot which is common), you guys have to remember the indigenous people of what is now the U.S are very different in culture compared to the indigenous cultures of Peru, The Caribbean, Colombia or Brazil etc.. there’s a lot of miles separating Latin American nations from U.S natives so they’re dynamics are very different to ours to how colonialism effected us. Comparing an indigenous person from New Mexico like the one featured in the video to some indigenous culture from Peru is like comparing a Chinese person to someone from the Philippines or Indonesia, they may have similar phenotypes(but that’s found in every region in the world) but they’re not all the same. But if I had to say I think the Latin American country closest to the US natives is probably Mexico (specifically the northern parts since thier culture overlaps with South west natives) and that’s only because of proximity Edit: I feel bad for US Natives, they never really preserved a lot of they’re original cultures like Latin Americans did

Viv There is also Tejano people, who are a mix of Europeans and assimilated Apache. Other than Spanish, there was also Hispanized Irish, Italian, German, and French. That moved into Southern Texas under land grants. Note that the Apache lived on both sides of the Rio Grande. And that people moved freely between the border until the 1900s. Also English was hardly spoken by most people living in South Texas until the 1920s.

@@jaebee9308 No, cattle are widely raised on American land. Buffalo are raised on a few specialty ranches. This is a problem for the US because cattle congregate at creeks and other water sources and destroy the vegetation there instead of spreading out and grazing evenly as cattle do. Although for the beef raised in feed lots (a majority) it's only a problem for the cattle and for the health of the (human) consumers, this is still a big problem on overgrazed land especially the sensitive semi-arid land, most of which is publicly owned.

[@ebernardou]

"Native" is really a oversimplification. Each culture is immensely unique and there are thousands upon thousands all across the Americas. I think it's similar to the word "Oriental" in the way it erases the differences between all the peoples. After all, you wouldn't put fish and chips and lasagna in the same bag and call them "European". This goes mostly to the people who say Mexica food is somehow equal to Navajo or any other tribe/nation. However, I also must acknowledge the fact that the true history of these dishes and other kinds of cultural heritage has been ravaged by time and the atrocities commited by european invaders. On a side note, lots of paraguayan food hails directly from the guarani people: chipa, mate, cocido, tereré, pajagua mascada! Look up these dishes if you're interested.

[@alecity4877]

Yes, at least the spaniards tried to preserve it, they made a mess where they tried to stay in power, by leaving the people they conquered with their culture, while at the same time tried to make the settlers confortable getting their lifestyle in the continent, and not letting commit somethings that they saw as crazy. Did a lot of bad, but at least it got preserved not like what happened in lands colonized by other europeans. PD: I thought mate was from the charrua!

Tip: NEVER give cooked bones of any type to animals!! Animals are supposed to eat raw bones which don't splinter when chewed. Cats, dogs, etc. run the risk of internal injury and severe pain if cooked bone shards get stuck in gums, throat, etc. I ignored this and paid the price of a hefty vet bill when one cat got fish bones stuck in her throat. The vet said I was lucky it didn't go further down as they would have had to operate. Obviously in most cases noone is there to care for feral animals if this happens so they might die.

[@janegarner9169]

Elle Dix This rule doesn’t apply to cooked bones of all animals. It’s potentially deadly for cats & dogs to eat cooked poultry bones, because the cooked bones can easily splinter once ingested. Poultry bones when cooked become softened but also easily break & splinter, which can puncture the intestinal system of dogs & cats. This can easily kill the animal, even if you take the animal to a vet as soon as the animal shows signs of problems. Presumably this is also true of other mammals who eat cooked poultry...foxes, raccoons, & other non-domesticated animals who sometimes raid human garbage, as well as animals who people try to help by leaving their leftover food for them. When I was a child in the ‘50s, we had a lot of dogs: several deer hounds, a family dog my parents had rescued as a starving puppy, other dogs we took in after they got dumped (often hunting hounds too old to keep working), dogs we rescued from abusive families, etc. Mainly the dogs ate what we ate...southern Indian foods like beans, corn, cornbread, squash, etc, as well as some meat (we didn’t eat much meat). But wenever gave the chicken or turkey unless we’d removed the bones. But somehow our deer hound got hold of cooked chicken with bones intact. My father rushed him to the nearest vet, half an hour away, but it was too late. A chicken bone had splintered & had punctured his intestines. With regard to cooked fish, the dangers are obvious: cooked fish bones can harm humans, which is why you have to be careful to remove the bones as you eat them. Unfortunately, it seems that many people refuse to believe cooked poultry bones are dangerous to dogs & cats, I supppse because they’ve fed their dogs & cats poultry with bones intact for so long, and for generations. Yeah, dogs usually love chewing on them, but even if you’ve fed them to your dog for years without noticeable problems, all it takes is one time. It’s like Russian roulette.

[@elledix3575]

@H S if I've understood correctly raw bones are to a certain extent pliable whereas cooked bones not. Think of the wishbone in a chicken ; once cooked people play a game of snapping them n making a wish. Just try it with a raw wishbone! It bends but doesn't snap n splinter!! So it's more probable an animal can handle a raw bone. After all isn't it more natural? Animals don't cook their own food, we do!

[@greyhawksilversmith7312]

you mean "NO POULTRY" especially turkey.

[@elledix3575]

As I understood it applies to all animal bones especially poultry and fish. Am checking RSPCA website and it says no cooked bones full stop! Does not specify certain cooked bones being Ok. I certainly don't think it's worth the risk!!

I'm what is known as a "splitfeather" -- a person of Native ancestry but raised outside of their indigenous people and culture -- with my blood ancestry being 3/4 German and 1/4 Ho-çak or Ho-Chunk (formerly known as Winnebago). I was raised in a 100% German ethnicity home, German was even my first language, despite being born in Wisconsin! I was born to a non-Native, unwed mother and given up for adoption. My story is long, so I won't relate any more of those details here, however I wanted to say all that I have for one very special reason: It's the Native foodways that have given me back at least the flavor of my ancestry and that have allowed me to have "some" idea of the culture those foodways came from and that have allowed me to have a connection that I never thought I'd have to my ancestry.

Gordon ramsay on the other hand would prefer to be on television telling people that he can make their millenia old traditions more "amazing". Also he has resorted to using derogatory language like the N-word when he thinks no one is listening. Recipes change every day just like cultures but there is a necessary element of respect.

unfortunate the comments only acknowledge mexican food as native food when native american is a term for indigenous people of the americas which is much more than the continental united states and mexico. you will find native cuisine throughout the rest of latin america and the carribean which deserve recognition too.

[@boffan1988]

I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that Mexican cuisine is one in which the Native roots are particularly out front. But yes you are right, all Latin American and Caribbean cuisine has Native roots to some degree. Hell, even North American food does actually. Cornbread, barbecue, succotash, pumpkin pie- all U.S. dishes with Native roots.

[@dn2ze]

Danny like Canada doesn’t have Natives, I swear how come people never mentions, us in the North. Shit, our ancestors first met the Europeans 500 years before Columbus and they didn’t conquered anything....

[@dalidemedina2294]

You’ve contradicted yourself. You said you’ve never had native food, then you listed Mexican and Peruvian food as foods you’ve eaten. Those ARE NATIVE FOODS. Most Cuisine from the America’s is native food.

[@nycbklynrmp]

but not norht american. not all mexican food is indigenous since has many influences of spanish.

[@dalidemedina2294]

nycbklynrmp hence why I commented “most”. And the USA isn’t the only country in North America. Don’t forget Canada, México, Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Panamá, which are mainland North America. Then you have many more Island nations in the Caribbean that are also part of North America. And yes I know that some of the mainland nations I’ve mentioned some also consider Central America. But the point is, there are a lot of food coming from these nations that people dismiss as not being of native origin, when clearly they are.

Nice to see very upscale version of southwest native food. I'm Pueblo native from Tesuque. My definition of Native cuisine would be "Feast Food" For celebrations and other traditions we make tortillas, frybread, oven bread, chile stews red and green, garbonzo beef stew, potato salad, sweet potatoes, macncheese (it's prepared differently with tomato sauce) Indian cookies and prune,apple, cherry pies. Some kind of ambrosia salad "dessert", enchiladas, tamales, chicken salad, man sherbet punch. We are in lockdown and covid has prevented us from our traditions. So yeah I just miss Feast food and my practicing my culture. Oh and Tocabe is soooo good!!

Salmon stew, salmon berry desserts are some stuff I like as a Alaska Native too. I highly suggest Native desserts, native fruits plus our spices makes for some delicious sweets.

Love this! Looks devine. Should try the same for native Australia, we had a version of the walk of years but it's the line of death, British walked in a line from east to west Aus and shot to kill, every native they saw, men, women and children. The foods that are survived are incredible but a rare find.

Random point but for future reference, nnnnever feed dogs cooked bones. Raw bones crack and are fine, cooked bones will splinter and can cause a lot of complications.

[@caitlinallen8400]

Every time I watch or read about Native American history, it grieves me to my core what was done to those poor people by the Europeans 😢 I truly hope that nowadays more Native American culture can be encouraged and flourish and become more mainstream! I would totally support Native cuisine in my area! 😋 Loved this video

Food will always be there...I can relate to that, we all need to eat to live...But, the truth behind history can be hidden, misconstrued, and manipulated by the oppressor...Unless...it's told by the people who have been oppressed. I know very little about the history of Native Indians except what I was taught from "American" history books, and I was born and have lived in America all of my life as a black man. This one video taught me more than any public school ever has...And that's a damn shame. Take the struggles of the Native Indians and the struggles of Black people in America and combine the two together, and what you come up with is a history of evil inflicted upon those two groups that is so sick and sad, it's almost mind-numbing. Take a long and careful look at the history of how America came to be while the oppressor, still to this day, walks around with a "care-free" manner as if they are "Divine". This MUST change!!

[@joeypotter6051]

I learned a lot from "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" and am now reading the more recent publication "The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee" - the first book tells the stories of what happened to each Native tribe during colonisation, and the second tells the stories of Native tribes today. Really interesting! I live on the other side of the world but have always wanted to know more and hear more Native American stories and culture. If I ever make it back to the US I'm definitely heading to NM and CO and looking up some Native restaurants!

[@prettybrowneyez3338]

I agree with your post. Words can't describe what evils have been done to all races but ESPECIALLY heinous is what's been done to the Native Americans and African Americans. While writing the Constitution, African Americans were still not considered equal in the "Land of the free"... We cannot keep calling the USA that unless ALL people are actually acknowledged and really free. Incredible what one race has done to people just because of the color of their skin. They need to tell it like it is: Not because we're different - everyone IS different, it's because of the color of our skin that frightens the white man... Why?? Only they know... I think Tucker explains it thoroughly in his racist rants daily.... The real history of our peoples MUST be acknowledged and stated in our history books, first and foremost. Then an official apology. The Native Americans need to have the same necessities we all have: clean running water, effective energy, the ability to plant their own crops and farm animals.... And African Americans need their REAL freedom. ASAP.

[@lalialove]

I’m not american so I’m kind of ignorant to your history, but I want to ask, what do you think the solution is, what should be changed? And do you think indigenous and african american are still oppressed till this day? Sorry if I sound too ignorant, but I’m definitely interested in learning more about your history soon. Have a nice day!

[@E_Stew]

@@lalialove The solution is to educate people about the truth. The truth of the history of human beings, where they came from and how they evolved over time. Unlearning what we've been taught, the misconceptions that we've been, and are, being fed through the media. Take each opportunity whenever possible to restore hope to those who are being misguided and are filled with hate. Oppression is VERY real in America towards many races that are non-white...It's sometimes subtle though many times blatant.

Cherokee here. Thanks for recognizing Native History. We just want our land back .thats literally it.

[@wendymccauley7685]

Thank you for this! As part Native American myself, I make a lot of the traditional dishes at home, but it really isn't as easy as what some think. I use elk, bison and venison as much as possible, corn products that are organic, but it's getting more difficult to find these that aren't GMO. Unfortunately, I live in a small town not enough room to grow, or I would prefer that. This just helped me with more ideas and more respect from which my heratige is.
