You can find out more about how to make Traditional Navajo Steamed Corn(neeshjiizhii) Stew with Justin Pioche! A wonderful recipe that has so much history and knowledge surrounding the cultural preservation of Indigenous corn while also being highly nourishing. Can find out more about preservation work from Navajo Ethno-Agriculture Farm where this corn was sourced from. They do so much work in preserving Navajo heritage crops and farming techniques. Thank you to @tia.quintanilla.pioche ioche, @janbrown_777 , @jjbpeezy and @navajofarming . Full video on our YouTube channel! #linkinbio👈

The NATIFS Education Team was lucky to be asked to make breakfast for the “Elder’s Brunch and Learn“ at the Little Earth Community Center!

1 cup frozen mixed berries
3 TB hemp hearts
1-2 cup oat milk or cashew milk
Add ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth! That’s it! Enjoy!
