JEEZ THATS PRECIOUS....MY NORTHERN...ONC'I. &. AI'TEY....EAT JUST LIKE THAT...AH' YAH' HA'...!
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...
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”.
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.
Great video enjoyed watching. Love your grandma shes so precious and lovely. Reminds me of the old days when i was a little girl, now everything has change a lot. Again wonderful video❤
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.
Words are hard to find. Listening to her voice, Seeing her face I have a deep understanding Of the love That I was given a chance to see. Not to take away from this love in your life Was blessed to know the love shown by my own great-grandmother was 2 years old when history came for Wounded Knee Massacr 1890 Two of my great grand parents 1886, she was 1888, Creedy and Seminole Her cooking only one has cook that cook two of my Brother drove 100 miles 3 of us put her to the tset my thoughts sure all three can't be wrong to be honest, I hunt and I been given wild game My wife cooks as its a blessing from our creator with a loving heart, so please find kindness in my words the one you call grandmother, was a gift from Our creator, her life, is a true blessing , Once in a lifetime Pray you remember her wisdom .
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.
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.
Oh goodness, I didn’t finish watching the video yet and seeing this 😞. I’m preparing myself for devastation. I was so looking forward to seeing how it was going to turn out!
Tyrell, I'm so thankful you put these types of videos up. It teaches me about things I wasn't privileged to be able to know like I should have. Keep up the great work.
From the start of the video, your grandparents are so loving, your grandpa reminded me of my own father which brought me to tears, I miss him a lot. He passed 13 years ago. Your grandma had me laughing, when she was talking about cell phones. You have awesome grandparents, so adorable. ❤️ And I loved your video. God Bless. 💕
This makes me wana go home so bad 🥹🥹 we made three cakes this year ❤ my daughter is next ❤ I’m so sick of living in the city I just wana go home and stay forever .. yes it’s a lot of learning! I learn so much everytime and still need to learn much more ❤
that fry bread was looking good. and the grandma sounds adorable and seems to be a sweet heart. dont understand the language but to watch and learn is still a privilege to experience.
That is a blessing to still be able to learn and cook with your great grandmother. She put love and attentiveness into the process. It truly was a family affair to take turns mixing and pouring together. Thank you for sharing this time. ❤
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.
Wow, miss the grandparents. Grandpa Mark always remembers me of my grandpa Sam Black; as he’s name was once before John Begay. Mark; He was like my grandpa twin. 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
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.
BROOOOO MY MOM, HUSBAND AND I WERE REALLY WAITING FOR THE OUTCOME. LOL. YOU NEED TO MAKE A WHOLE ANOTHER CAKE NOW. LOL. GREAT VIDEO. I LOVE THE ELDERS. I MISS MY CHEII AND MASANI.
Oh wow, thank you so much for coming over and watching! I appreciate it very much. Right now all my sales are done directly to my customers. Best way to contact me is social media or email
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.😺
Nice! I always cherish Navajo cake that made by a kinaadah. Every time someone bring home a Navajo Cake, I always ask if this is made and cook by a kinaldah.
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
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.
Hello !! I just find this. How old is your 👵🏼? She looks so strong. My Abuela died at 108 years old , and she kept cooking the old way. She was a Healer 💫 , liked help others. She was a Magic Woman 😌. Traditions are pure gold!! Greetings from México 🇲🇽. 😃🌵

You’re more than welcome! I’m glad you and others enjoyed it just as much as we did that day.
Reminds me of making sweet tamales. The recipes seem similar
Yes, thank you
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.

When do little kids ground corn,in mouth chewing. Spitting back into Navajo cake mixing. 😮
No subtitles which is a pity
