I find this strategy to grow corn fascinating. It amazes me that a handful of corn seeds can struggle through 18 inches of sand to find the Sun. I would imagine it is the joint effort of all the seeds thrown into that hole that they all burst forth. It would be fun to watch if they burst the soil together or the strongest first then the rest following.
Great guy! Thanks for sharing you views on the land. Monsanto is so wicked...!
omg those corn colors were so pretty.
🐝 utiful culture, sne kalyegh 🤲
Grrrr!!! The horrible corporations that threaten this way of life makes me so ANGRY! May they fail in all their attempts, and I send my love and prayers to the HOPI and their traditional way of life!
Hahah my first time seeing a guy make Qa'tuki... ahllii looks good!

I am Montagnard jarai tribe like those corn colors
I want to help & learn & teach!!!! I have blue hopi corn seeds & rainbow corn seeds I was given during ceremony. Native farming & building traditions are of the utmost importance to me, I want to teach & inspire people including natives to get back to their roots & the old ways of doing things because of the substantial benefits it would have on our mother Earth. I am a sustainable building student & eventually I want to become an architect with emphasis on sustainability so I can buy land & be one with the mother. However, I am
Get the tradition out there! In the video, he looks like he's willing to teach. Perhaps ask around for a number, get on contact

Hey, I'm Navajo from Holbrook Arizona. This video shows a red corn with white stripes on the kernels. My family grows this corn, but have no idea why or what it's use(s) are. My great grandma grew and passed it down to my grandma, who after passing got into the hands of my grandpa, and then passed to me. This corn has been in my family, I just want to know more about it. (My parents have strayed from traditional life, and I'm trying to get back to it.) If anyone could help inform me, that would be much appreciated.
The red corn with the white stripes looks like Hopi Chinmark corn. I found the seed on this website shop.nativeseeds.org/products/zf003 They have many native corn seeds to view and to purchase. Look at the Nativeseeds.org website. You will be amazed! cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0157/0808/products/ZM003a_1024x1024.jpg?v=1433790546
It's ceremonial corn in Navajo belief.

is that ash you are roasting the corn in ? i'd like to try and make parched corn. i'm trying Hopi blue corn in my garden this year as well a Delaware black and Jimmy red corn. Just started grinding my own flour and corn meal, good eating / low cost. thanx for sharing with us.
I'm Tabacco clan
People must get back to nature -(we) should try to save all that can be saved! the very future of the world may well be in the balance!
where on their land do the Hopi live (those who do not use the European ways ie running water elctricity, biild their own homes, eat only what they grow and do not partake in the worlds commerce) ?
have even the times of the moons been lost?
How sad. I dislike Monsanto!
