My cousins dog only understands Karuk, a tribe from Northern Cali. There are only about 5 fluent speakers, and I am trying to learn. My goal: when I have kids, they will be fluent in our language. As a Indigenous Youth, I need to re learn for my people!
That brings up an important point. Language, along with religion is such an important part of culture. Once these are lost the DNA doesn't matter anymore, it's over.
Hey 🙋🏻♀️❤️. I’m Maidu..Miwok..Nissenan. . Much encouragement, support and blessings. There are about the SAME in my Tribe. 😉🙏🏽🕊. White - “Wallem” Concow Maidu language
I am white and was born on the rez. I had one of those laughing parties when I was a baby. My babysitter spoke Navajo to me so I could speak it in Kindergarten.
Yo!!!! Lol I was raised on and off the rez too and I'm not native 😍 Home life was hell but I was always taken to the rez when my parents would split or get into too bad of an argument. We also had a tribe elder come to the neighborhood and teach all the native kids different cultural things and why it's done since not everyone could make it up to the rez. It was always about 98% of the group that was native but no one was ever turned away so long as they were respectful.
Back when I lived near the rez, I took pictures of babies at a portrait studio. The baby was very amused by me and just about to laugh. Her mother stood near by very tense, whispering, "please don't laugh". I turned to her and told her, "You worried about a bilaganna making your baby laugh first?" She agreed shyly. I told her, "he is definitely going to laugh. Do you want to take over?" She asked if her family could come in. We had grandparents, aunts, and uncles in the room. Everyone stood behind me while I handed a toy to the mother and told her go ahead. She got the baby to laugh, I felt so lucky to be involved in the sweet impromptu celebration. I was thanked very sincerely by the mom.
Thanks, I'm having fun while learning a lot here. It's great how memes can be a part of the celebration of language. Fun fact: 'Taco', like many other great foods that hail from Mexico, is derived from Nahuatl, which survived Spanish invasion of the Aztec and other parts of Mesoamerica. It is still spoken today, and 'taco' likely comes from 'tlahco'. Other popular words with Nahuatl origins are guacamole, chili, chocolate/cacoa/cocoa, and coyote (previously 'coyotl', but I hear the Spaniards had a hard time with the 'tl' sounds and just gave up), to name a few.
When you're the Dude laughing as the Elder hits the speaker. You're not just laughing because it's funny but because you're relieved it's not you this time. Lol
Lol I laughed so hard at the kid running away from bilagaana.Once I found a 3 or 4 year old kid by himself outside a grocery store crying and when I asked if he needed help he ran away screaming like the kid in the video. He was terrified. Now I know it was because I’m a bilagaana 😂...his mom did find him though... probably from hearing his petrified screams.
Wado ( wa' doe ) in my Cherokee language means Thank you ! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Native subscriber here ayee.. for life Lol..😂. I love watching you guy's I can always have a good time and, a good laugh whenever I need to get away from my problems and, in this life time we all need to just laugh and, enjoy life no matter what clan you come from Amen..👊🏼 🇺🇸 ❤️ 🦅 Wado !

I think that I appreciate Native Americans, not being one, myself, when I was 6, back in 1957, my dad owned a Humble Oil service station (later called ESSO, then EXXON) and we had a Native American, Henry Hawk, working for us. First impression: he’s Different and Quiet and always smiles. A very kind man, he offered to take me and my Dad deer-hunting. We live in hilly Tennessee He hunted with a .22 rifle. While my dad was looking at the ground for trails and tracks, Henry was looking up at foliage cover. He told my Dad where to sit, and took me with him. Next thing I remember was walking up on my father, in mid-day, covering up the innards of a deer that he had dug a hole for. The buck was hanging from a rope over a tree branch. I just edited this comment so that I could include ONE more story. When I was young, my family used to vacation in Florida My parents would always go to the greyhound track (EBRO), just outside Panama City Beach. Young children weren’t allowed inside, so we were overseen in a “pen”, outside the establishment I guess that, THAT trauma hit home with my folks. After that, I would be babysat by a Native American woman, named Minnie Comanche I’m almost 70, and yet I still remember her name. I can still see the room, the woven rug, the black and white tv, the rocking chair in front of the fireplace in which I was sat, her colorful long skirt and her silver hair, in braids. But I can’t see her face anymore. Anyway, she would sit me in the rocking chair and turn to the program “Alcoa Presents”, a popular night time tv program, of that time. The next thing I knew I was being gently lifted up and gently hugged by this ( I searched for words to describe her, but have fallen short). Loved? Trusted? I’m still thinking, but HAVENT the word or words, to describe her. And then handed to my Mom. Hours had gone by. I believe first and foremost in Nature. Some people might remark “mysticism” but I absolutely don’t agree. If you live in harmony with the land you live on, you will be provided for, with enough, and sometimes much more, in ways that you need most.
@@puppidejong2789 I’ve thought about this for some time. And, yes, this is a BEAUTIFUL memory. While I’m still alive, I will HOLD that knowledge and, hopefully give it to others. I just have to figure out a way to do it.
Thanks to all of you for another wonderful video! I get so much joy from them. I am also glad that you featured Aaron Yazzie. I had seen an article about his involvement in the newest Mars rover. Very cool and hope inspires a new generation to have big dreams.
Thanks cuzins! Dine' here! And no argument there! Sooooooo, good to see you back, you've BOTH been missed! Great show, thank you. Thanks to stash too, enjoy'n your insta. Blessings, Peace, Love and Light to you all.
They need an exchange programme 😆 Btw, some Icelanders were found to have Native American ancestry. Seems like vikings took several women from Vinland and Markland
They also don't do last names the way we do in the US. Your last name is generally your dad's first name followed by son or daughter (Jónsson, Jónsdóttir), so a brother and sister won't have the same last name. Between that and the more limited genetic pool, that family tracing app is pretty important.
This white woman only understands about 40% of your videos but I watch them all and I’m getting better, and I laugh at everything even when I don’t understand.
Every culture has their own unique humor...sometimes it is hilarious...other times...yawn. I'm pretty sure that not all white humor is all that funny either.
I am white myself, but I grew up in a rural town near Cary the Kettle Nakota nation reserve which is in Saskatchewan Canada. We would always have them come to our town bar and they were always such a fun bunch. You really get to experience their humor and presence.
Dang, that Indian/ Navajo taco looks just like a Salbut( Salbutes)which is Yucatec Maya from the Yucatec peninsula(Mexico) and it’s like a staple in Belize, where I’m from . It’s essentially fried masa harina ( corn flour) and we put lettuce, pulled chicken, tomato or whatever you want I guess😋❤️😎
Thanks Patrick & Jacob!! this is fun!! You need to remember to have your dad's website and your guest's website & Instagram handle or any other social media site below and remind everyone to hit "subscribe"; and SMASH the notifications bell to always get the latest.
I didn't need a reminder to subscribe .... after I saw the first video, it was like.... automatic .... lol ... but yeah, the links and reminders do matter ....
I just want to say, I love y'all's show, and find it really entertaining. I'm not considered native American because I don't have enough blood percentage, but I do have Seminole, Black foot, and east band cherokee ancestry. It helps me feel apart of this side of my heritage in a way. So, even though we disagree on some things, thank you for making videos, I really enjoy them.
You light up my day. Thank you. Just one request: i am part of your blind and visually impaired audience and cannot see the memes. Can you describe them in a few words for us so we get the laugh, too? Thank you.
I'm just a random white dude in Arizona, and I love watching y'alls videos. Learning, growing, respecting, and being entertained all at the same time. Ahéhee'.
I never heard that about Indian tacos. Only ever heard them called Navajo tacos. Maybe 'cause I'm from Arizona. Whatever you may call them I call the delicious!
Well i am 57 years young lol as a boy i went with my Father to visit his Army Buddy from the Korean war. We lived on the Choctaw rez in Mississippi until i was 15 never heard ate or saw Indian Tacos back then. Once we got to Navajo Reservation in New Mexico I think the town or county was called Crystal. That was the first time I had what was called a Navajo taco. this was maybe 1972 or 73. To be honest not 100% sure it was called a taco lol never had such a thing back then. it was good i ate 2. We spent 2 weeks there it was amazing time i was treated like i was part of that community. Will never forget that.
This is so good , don't matter what reservation it's always the same , love your videos , my grandson is 6'6 and is from a reservation in northern Idaho , we visited the Navajo reservation and it was funny everyone was looking at him as if he was a stick Indian
Aanii👋🏼, Patrick and Jacob. Watching your videos has inspired me to learn more about my Native American heritage. My tribe is Odawa. Even though, I’m not full blooded, not even half blooded( more of a waabishkiiwe) less than that, I still want to learn and feel connected to my Ancestors. Thank you so much. You and Jacob are good medicine. Miigwech Chi-miigwech.
I had heard of the superstition that if you sneeze someone was thinking of you, but I never knew that came from a Navajo superstition. You learn something every day.
Also still looking forward to your next dance recording, Mr. Willie .... we have not forgotten the beauty of your previous work and anticipate with pleasure your future efforts as the worst of the pandemic recedes into history ....
This was yet another great episode .... love the insight into the Navajo culture and appreciate the continuing Navajo contribution to the wider society, from the Code Talkers to Mars landings .... Blessings ....
I'm praying for all. This covid is horrible. Stay safe.The reservation I raised my girls on is in Pablo Montana many different tribesl live as one. We accept everyone.
I feel bad for Patrick, 'ashiihí, tódích'ii'nii, táchii'nii, and tsenabahilnii. Oof He's cousins with every navajo! He might have to settle for a 9th cousin 😂
I really enjoy your channel. You are doing a great job, so thanks. As a Bilagaana who lived near the Rez for many years, it is and will always will be a Navajo Taco. I had my first of many at what was then the Nava-Hopi Kitchen at Tuba City about 1975. Whenever I hear them called Indian Tacos something in me just cringes.
I pass by the Biligaana shop in Albuquerque almost every day and I never knew what it meant, ha ha. And I was thinking of that shop, and then you mentioned it!!!!! :D
You guys are like my Navajo school, love these drops! I was raised in the Midwest by a white family so I’m always freaked out to see people who look like me, let alone show off the culture I missed.❤️
You guys always have me in stitches. I worked with a Lakota landscaping. Another Latino crew started talking to him in Spanish one day. He said, "Whoa, I'm not Spanish!" The guys on our crew called him Taco after that 😂
Man, just another life-affirming video with nothing fancy that just edutains - ALWAYS! Loved and appreciated your guest, and that his pride in the NASA guy's blessing choked him up. I think life on/around the res is pretty much the same... In KS (least 'round here) they are Navajo Tacos/Indian Tacos. Seems like one week or one sale they're called one thing and the next sale they're called the other. Might say 'Indian Taco' by the road and 'Navajo Taco' in the place - we know what they are and we don't care what they're called. Thank you.
Love that Leonard spoke Navajo in your intro! Awesome. Thanks for the mini vocab lesson 😁 My dog passed away the day you posted this video. It made me smile and laugh when I needed it, so thank you for that. 🙏🏼 Came back to re-laugh 😂 and make sure I followed Leonard! 😎 I do appreciate the opportunities you give us to follow a more diverse set of humans with your guest speakers and "Natives doing cool or unique things" segment of your videos. 💯 Thank you for your perspective and your humor!!
You guys are our favorite! You have some major 'Texas Biligaana' fans!! I am in my last semester of Graduate school and my research is over Natives that were in the Texas Rangers and they we the baddest sons of tacos! I'd love to get some in depth discussion with some of your Elders and talk about history! We love love y'alls laugh, its simply da best!!!
The wood copping. All us city kids were the wood choppers whenever we went to our reserve! For all our Moosums and Kokums! There was 8 of them at one time. ☺️ (we were also the berry and mint pickers!) And the Navajo baby, too frikjen cute! Hyi Hyi!🙋🏻♀️✌🏼🇨🇦
We have a saying when someone sneezes, Sancho is at your house, one guy tells the guy that sneezed he better go home because sancho is hooking up with his girl.
I'm so glad I stumbled on to your channel. I've learned so much and enjoyed every moment of it. I went to a Pow Wow (sorry if that's not correct) 55 years ago in Eastern Nebraska. My family was one of the few whites there but I felt completely welcomed and also awed by the experience. The Indigenous culture has always held a magical fascination for me. I wish more people throughout our country could appreciate your rich but difficult history and positive culture because it's so family and nature centered. You've persevered and kept your identity. ❤
My cousins dog only understands Karuk, a tribe from Northern Cali. There are only about 5 fluent speakers, and I am trying to learn. My goal: when I have kids, they will be fluent in our language. As a Indigenous Youth, I need to re learn for my people!

Lol, by far the best comment. I'm tired boss. 🤣🤣
As a latina auntie, who's running from Patrick? just post his address and we'll show up, with mexican tacos, enchiladas, and pasteles🤣
@@user-ge6ku3kv7t how about tacos al pastor, frijoles con puerco y pan dulce?
@@jacobbilly7240 man Navajo taco to and Shasta or dr. Thunder... no I mean bepsi is the way to go.
If NASA needs another employee, i'm an expert at space. It's all I took up since birth.
Had a rough day. Glad to have watched your video made me laugh my worries away. Keep doing what you are doing. It helps to bring joy.
Leonard, best of luck on your journey pursuing Computer Engineering!! You can make it happen. Where there is a will there is a way!!
Ahehee
Computer Science is much better ;0 (can't guess which I studied)
Super positive energy here. Great way to start the day. Thanks to the three of you.
Woot, earliest I've ever caught a vid. Bringing good vibes to my work day. 👍👍👍
I love learning about the Navajo culture and people
Also still looking forward to your next dance recording, Mr. Willie .... we have not forgotten the beauty of your previous work and anticipate with pleasure your future efforts as the worst of the pandemic recedes into history ....
From the saami to navajo. Dream big, live large, die happy. Love you guys.
Gramma Beligana is in tears here. I love the laughter amongst these three men so much.
This was yet another great episode .... love the insight into the Navajo culture and appreciate the continuing Navajo contribution to the wider society, from the Code Talkers to Mars landings ....
Blessings ....
Now we need a cooking segment so you can show us how to make "Navajo" taco. We don't have any Navajo taco stands in Iowa.
Check out Navajo Grandma!
@@LT-yh3kc Thank you! I'll do that.
They have that related dating app thing in Iceland!
Need to fly in some Iceland Programmer's for some tips lol.
I'm praying for all. This covid is horrible. Stay safe.The reservation I raised my girls on is in Pablo Montana many different tribesl live as one. We accept everyone.
Lmao really dig the channel, sending love all the way from North Western Ontario Canada, Oji-Cree country.
I feel bad for Patrick, 'ashiihí, tódích'ii'nii, táchii'nii, and tsenabahilnii. Oof He's cousins with every navajo! He might have to settle for a 9th cousin 😂
I really enjoy your channel. You are doing a great job, so thanks. As a Bilagaana who lived near the Rez for many years, it is and will always will be a Navajo Taco. I had my first of many at what was then the Nava-Hopi Kitchen at Tuba City about 1975. Whenever I hear them called Indian Tacos something in me just cringes.
Awesome guest you guys! Well done as always. Missed you last time Jacob.
Love your channel. Our newspaper said there's a holiday, August 14, to honor Navajo Code Talkers. Cool.
I pass by the Biligaana shop in Albuquerque almost every day and I never knew what it meant, ha ha. And I was thinking of that shop, and then you mentioned it!!!!! :D
3:29
Jacob?! Did you just pull out a good ol' Mando quote?
God, I love you guys!😂😂
👏👏👏 yup, I was hoping Pat would put in a snippet of mando saying that
Hey guys thank you it's good to see you back. Thank you you make me laugh thank you.
I love, love, love you guys! And your guests are fantastic! I learn so much from you every time you make a video!!! Thank you very much!!
You guys are like my Navajo school, love these drops!
I was raised in the Midwest by a white family so I’m always freaked out to see people who look like me, let alone show off the culture I missed.❤️
Min 11:35, i think that happened to both Jacob and Patrick! The way they dropped their heads in sadness! 😂
You guys always have me in stitches. I worked with a Lakota landscaping. Another Latino crew started talking to him in Spanish one day. He said, "Whoa, I'm not Spanish!" The guys on our crew called him Taco after that 😂
Man, just another life-affirming video with nothing fancy that just edutains - ALWAYS! Loved and appreciated your guest, and that his pride in the NASA guy's blessing choked him up.
I think life on/around the res is pretty much the same... In KS (least 'round here) they are Navajo Tacos/Indian Tacos. Seems like one week or one sale they're called one thing and the next sale they're called the other. Might say 'Indian Taco' by the road and 'Navajo Taco' in the place - we know what they are and we don't care what they're called.
Thank you.
"Edutains" I like that, that does explain it wonderfully. Appreciate your comment, Leonard was a good guest!, Thanks for watching!
I love these videos. Thank you all guys, you rock!
Hey, Jacob! [waves at Jacob]
That screaming kid was the best .... lol ... But the part with the grandmother was good too .... lol ...
👋👋👋👋👋
Love that Leonard spoke Navajo in your intro! Awesome. Thanks for the mini vocab lesson 😁 My dog passed away the day you posted this video. It made me smile and laugh when I needed it, so thank you for that. 🙏🏼 Came back to re-laugh 😂 and make sure I followed Leonard! 😎 I do appreciate the opportunities you give us to follow a more diverse set of humans with your guest speakers and "Natives doing cool or unique things" segment of your videos. 💯 Thank you for your perspective and your humor!!
Woo Hoo!! I've been waiting for a video :)
You guys are gold! I just found this channel and love it already!
The one with messing with a Navajo elder, is that my Masaní? She all brutal, lmao that look chapter house look firmiliar
I really enjoy watching you two and learning a bit about your culture. I love your sense of humor. Great guest :)
Forget NDN vs Navajo taco. What about fry bread vs bannock?
Always look forward to your videos. I am learning nahatl. It’s very slow going. Glad young people are keeping the language alive.
Not Navajo
Not Indigenous
Such love for all things Patrick and Jacob 💜
You guys are our favorite! You have some major 'Texas Biligaana' fans!! I am in my last semester of Graduate school and my research is over Natives that were in the Texas Rangers and they we the baddest sons of tacos! I'd love to get some in depth discussion with some of your Elders and talk about history! We love love y'alls laugh, its simply da best!!!
You are always a breath of fresh air thanks for the laughs 😊
So nice to see you back. Another great video! Love it! Good luck to the guy who’s studying computer engineering!
I love this channel and I’m as bilaganna as can be! Thanks for enlightening me to what the country that we all live in, has done. LUV you guys!!!
Always so happy when I see another one of your episodes!
You guys are so funny.
Love from Seattle!!
✨💚✨
My family always looks forward to these!
The wood copping. All us city kids were the wood choppers whenever we went to our reserve! For all our Moosums and Kokums! There was 8 of them at one time. ☺️ (we were also the berry and mint pickers!) And the Navajo baby, too frikjen cute! Hyi Hyi!🙋🏻♀️✌🏼🇨🇦
We have a saying when someone sneezes, Sancho is at your house, one guy tells the guy that sneezed he better go home because sancho is hooking up with his girl.
I'm so glad I stumbled on to your channel. I've learned so much and enjoyed every moment of it. I went to a Pow Wow (sorry if that's not correct) 55 years ago in Eastern Nebraska. My family was one of the few whites there but I felt completely welcomed and also awed by the experience.
The Indigenous culture has always held a magical fascination for me. I wish more people throughout our country could appreciate your rich but difficult history and positive culture because it's so family and nature centered. You've persevered and kept your identity. ❤
Navajo Grandma has a video out that talks about how Navajo Taco was first made.. check it out it’s on her channel. 😊
I was thinking the same thing! She's great
