Everytime I watch this video, who is that lady? I'm navajo (47): Phoenix. But I love that lady in the white t-shirt making the frybread, (Rummelhart) where was this at, sweetheart?
@nowhere991 Hi! Go down the comments and you'll find people saying talking about her, because they know who and/or are related to her. This was at Makah Days in 2006, in Neah Bay, on Washington State's Olympic Peninsula.
I am so far north that I have never met these good people nor tasted their bread and if it was not for the warlike american I would travel and share with these good folks. The best fried bread I ever had so far was from the Okanagan Nation which was typical fried bread with Salmon in the inside. There must have been at least a couple of lbs of salmon in it, it filled me right up and I do not mean physically. Good eats!!!
@MrBiejos Salmon and frybread - yum! Up here they do smoked salmon and frybread. And "Indian Tacos." And frybread with fresh homemade blackberry jam. There is NO BAD FRYBREAD. <3
@nowhere991 Thank you for your beautiful frybread! It's so amazing to watch an artist at work, no matter in what medium. And thank you for letting me film you and post this moment of a master at work.
I like her the ladyin the white making "fry-bread". She's my kind of a lady: heavy at the hip & (behind) and a strong forearm. She knocks them dough silly and it make me nervous.
Great video. hats off to your grandmother. There are unlimited versions of fry bread, each family makes a version of it, slight variations, but based on the same idea.made me hungry just watching.
ya.. thats my grandma.. . and thats my bread.. . dont look at it you white woman, you might make it have bubbles like your bubbles on your HpV asshole.
@DineCoalition207 What's an "HpV asshole?" And I don't WANT to make frybread like that. I use whole wheat, and I make it like Tanglebritches. I LIKE your grandma's frybread -- but I like the Makah frybread better, cuz it's more like mom's. Gotta go with our blood.
I thought I knew how to make frybread, but this video shows me that there's still something to learn. Especially with the spinning :) Thank you for this video :)
Frybread sure is good BUT the flour is BLEACHED white with bleach/poison. White flour has no nutrition at all. The lard is bad also. To my native brothers.
@beone011 Yes, absolutely in agreement -- which is why I only eat it at special events. It's like any wonderful thing which is bad for us -- we should eat it in moderation. AND I make whole-wheat frybread, in canola oil. Try it! Just soak the flour longer. It's delish!
navajo frebread is qood. im native tew but warmsprinqs bread is the best, everyone has their on opion on makin bread..sum use salt sum dont. sum use sugar some dislike it. i dont like it. but diffenrent indians have their own way of makin their bread
Maybe it's Easyy to some ladies and young teen girls because they were taught when they were young, and have been making the bread for a long time. (native women im talking about)
Because it's an art -- and any art requires 10,000 tries to learn to perfection. Who eats all the practice and learning frybread -- or does that make for some very happy chickens or dogs? (Bread is the best stuff in the world -- but bad bread is the WORST).
Skillzzz is RIGHT! Some people have been griping I took this film and put it up, but these women are ARTISTS. As an artist myself (Google: donna barr desert peach), I probably go a bit over the top when I see another artist in the middle of an amazing performance.
Rummelhart, cooking is indeed an art. Not everyone can do it well, but having the predisposition towards cooking, I must say Navajo Frybread is on the level of ease with scrambled eggs and similar quick breakfast foods.
Now, I have no doubts that this woman's fry bread is more honed in recipe and technique, but alas you can make it quite easily and effectively.
Whats impressive is how quickly she does it without burning herself. A learned art, I am sure.
Anyone who can cook will always survive. Like it says in the movie "Ratatouille," "Food will always come to those who can cook." If we're cooking we're not shooting. Frybread For Peace!
if that's so then how come so many white women suck like crazy at making it? I tried teachin a white girl, and her frybread was awful. too flat, too dense, too small. It takes skill. I've beem aking it since I was little, and my frybread still isn't as good as my Gramma or Aunties.
MOST people suck at making doughnuts and other fried bread, especially the first time (It's an art and a DISCIPLINE; it takes time). My mother could have beat anybody with her Tanglebritches (Americanized German for "Little dangly bits of bread"). They were tender balls of light dough, with squiggly threads of crunchy dough sticking out, like little suns with rays. Rip 'em open, slop on jam and butter.
White girl here...you have to remember that this skill is passed down for generations. My friend Rita tried to teach me and about laughed her ass off. There are things I can make that she can't. All I know, is my final meal on earth will be frybread and diet pepsi.
You should see my Gringa Tortillas. NOT FLAT. More like large corn dumplings. Ergh. And now I dare anybody to make Chinese noodles by hand. Dough is... incredible....Now I have to admit my favorite food on the entire planet is.... potatoes.....
Man you are sooo white! my mom's fry bread is better. the Sioux fry bread is best! " as quote Indian taco " the look on bread makers are like get out of here!
I wouldn't know; I like ALL frybread. If I say "OOH, this is the BEST frybread" it's not a useful compliment because I'm a frybread whote and it's all good to me.
I HAVE to brag. My husband commissioned a silver bracelet by Makah artist Salawish (Mikah Vogel) with salmon and raven (tho' I think the raven may be cannibal bird/loon, but I'm not going to tell an artist what to do). It's too beautiful.
@RRonnieTTylerBBegay Different tribes have different ways of making frybread, not everyone will make frybread the way you do, or if you dont know how to make it, then they will not make it the way youv'e seen.
@kage0tenshi I make my own weird frybread -- only whole wheat flour, and fried in a pan sprayed with Pam. Or is that a bannock? It's how we have bread, now. The secret is to using whole wheat is to add more water and let it soak. It's tasty and a lot healthier than white flour (which is just paste!).
Im sorry for all you ignorant people that cant actually leave a nice comment, while im being hypocritical, i feel sorry for how you must have been brought up. As for the maker of this video, im a descendant from the Navajo tribe. This meal is amazing if you know how to do it correctly, unlike some people. I usually eat mine plain while out camping and throw some cinnamon and sugar in it.
we agree with you indrid990. we are cherokee here-("o si yo"). we enjoy the navajo taco with meat, beans, & veggies. we also like them plain, and for dessert- honey and powdered sugar. to all the navajo people that may read this we say: "ya at eeh".
Don't be silly. Even Rita..right off the rez ate it anyway she wanted. She ate it with honey..fried potatoes...mutton....beans...navajo taco. Is there a bible on how to eat frybread????? Whats important is when you cook for people it is an act of love..you want to nourish them. Just don't attempt it if you don't know how because they will end up like flying saucers.
When we go see that fireworks at Makah Days and Fourth of July in Neah Bay, we always get frybread with homemade blackberry jam and hot coffee. It keeps us warm on the cold beach all evening. Frybread and sparkly things in the sky.... mmmmm.
I'm a bit dumb on American geography, so I had to look up Neah Bay. Washington and Oregon are so bee-utiful. I picked as many berries as I could when I was there esp salmon and blackberries. Then I went back to Wyoming and they were $5.00 a pint!! But that sounds like the perfect 4th of July, yeah.
This year, Neah Bay is hosting The Journey -- the canoe paddle to Seattle. Google: The Journey Paddle
All the celebrations will be something to see this year. I work as a freelance journalist and I'm looking forward to sending stories from Neah Bay. They have free wifi in the Marina parking lot, 24-7, so I can send stories and photos and not have to miss the evening events!
Please put a video of that on youtube. Okay, well I hope you find humor in what i'm about to say. I was crusing your channel page and I saw a video 'Hector - still alive' or something like that with a mans pic. I thought, well bless his heart!! Then I found out that Hector is a cat lmao. Anyhow, much funnier from my side im sure. That is great that you took those cats into your home and they found love. I subscribed to your page, just love it.
Oh, yes, I'll certainly be filming for use on YouTube. Those of you from Neah Bay, I have films of the street during Makah Days, filmed for you away from home to see relatives and friends. Hope you enjoy! Yup, Hector's our ancient cat -- and as much a part of our family as we are. The man is my husband! Is he famous now? To follow more Neah Bay action on my site (when I go there), google: Clallamatbay My home/writing site is at google: donna barr blogspot
Neah Bay had its first Eagle Festival this weekend. Lots of cool art and vendors and -- frybread. And Eagle Cookies! Sugar-cookies named for their shapes, not for their ingredients. Cool hand-made posters about that local neighbor, the bald eagle.
Tthe dough is 75% of mastering the process. It's cheating , I put a "little" sugar in my dough, the sugar gives the bread a golden brown color & it rises nicely.
Practice at a ceremony where you have to help cook fry bread along w/ stew. Also, practice w/ a wet dishcloth between your hands, if you can get that cloth going between your hands w/o dropping it you're good.
frybread and honey is better than any scone, biscuit, doughnut, turnover, or crepe i've ever eaten. give the extremists in the middle east a taste of this stuff and we'll be friends forever :)
im navajo and making fry bread is a bit hard and out of everybody in my school me my navajo teacher and only some few in my navajo class only now fow to make a good one.
how rude.......Bilagaana ehhhh........ lolz,,its navajo not novaho,.,.. and its made with flour, salt,baking powder, powdered milk. and warm water ,.,,.,
Please! Some people think that the best way to prove your point is to use negative remarks. Maybe she didn't know what it was made with. At least she is taking the time to learn and try about your Life style and not mocking it like some people
You should take a film of the correct way to say it, and post it on YouTube. It took me 45 minutes to learn to say "ausgezeichnet," and THAT's Indo-European. I tried to pronounce the Makahs' real name -- and I almost drowned.
One time, this guy, he put beef steak in one and he handed it to me with steak sauce and some tomatoes and onions...it was heaven. I love it, thanks for sharing! **slobber some more**
It not actually "oil" Its lard hahah. Navajo tacos are the best when I went on my resorvation my fathers wife (so that would make her my step mother??) dont know but she made some amazing fried bread I LOVE BEING NAVAJO wonderful history haha
Wow the camera person sounds so amazed watching a Native cook fried bread.
Oh && btw like others have said, it's not really a delicacy. It's just become a traditional food staple because of our hardships concerning food && clothing && suck. *sigh* I really need to post a video making fried bread.
As I've said before, I'd be amazed by ANYBODY who could fry up a thin piece of hot bread like that and make it come out so delicious. I know it was food forced on the native peoples -- but I still love it when I'm offered it, even though I know it's not good for me and what its history is. It's like the fried bread my German/Irish mother used to make.
its funny how the lady says its a "delicacy", but what people dont know is that fry bread was actually made because when natives were sent to their designated reservations they were given the shittiest food imaginable, so they had to make due with what they had. its not just fry bread....its survival bread...
TIP = To Insure Promptness An English tradition that.. (get this).. At the time When the English committed genocide on us, They wanted nothing to do with tradition. so tipping was never forcefully taught to the natives. When I don't tip, i declare loudly, "Take your English Tradition and SHOVE IT!!
(then i cough up two bucks... what a hypocrite i am.. LOL)
i agree pizzadahut7, we are native american not indians, "indian" means people who are from india. damn, i miss eating frybread lol "indian taco"? you can tell she hasn't spend that much time on the rez
i agree pizzdahut7, we are native americans, not indians, "indians" are people are from india. you can tell the woman who is talking hasn't spent much time on the rez huh? "indian taco"? oooookkkkkkkkk
Hmm.. You know. In the Powows off the Navajo REZ, I have noticed that the word Indian Taco is used a lot. So i think they misconstrue the meaning of Native American. Like... I say "I am Navajo" where as another may say "I am Native American" and yet a third may say "I am Dine'"
I believe the proper way is to say I am Navajo, Born of the salt clan and from the bitterwater clan, my chei is redstreak clan, and the mexican clan is my nalii....
spanish were rapist and full of stds its a historical fact they tuaght nothing to indians but death and rape...i'm okmulgee creek and i will never accept whites or hispanics or any european
I chewed over whether I should approve this comment or not because this is just a little film about frybread, but as a white I know what my people did to yours and there was no excuse. We should build holocaust memorials for all the First Nations and recognize what we did -- and are still doing -- and stop doing it!
Being pure white, I can't digest corn, as much as I like it, because my ancestors didn't eat it. But masa is treated with lime, so my guts can process it. I'm so glad masa was invented, so I can eat some corn. THANK YOU.
Yes, and masa was treated with lime because it allows for the vitamin niacin and the amino acid tryptophan to be released. So masa treated with lime is to deficiency preventitive.
I'm Navajo as well, and I love Frybread, too. I didn't know how popular it has become. Haha. I'm 14 and I'm still trying to master the Arts of Frybread making myself! I'm hungry now...My grandma makes the best frybread. :D
Wow its amazing how Much Native American culture is Similar to Mexican Culture. We have fried bannock too but in spanish its called ''binñuelos''. PS. My dad is half Maya and half Aztec. My mom has relatives that are TarowMara and Yachi...
I heard that originally there was no division between them. It was once the Spaniards came in in So. America, along with the English/French/etc. came in No. America, that the cultures had begun to change.
I'm glad that there are similarities between our traditions. I am an African with part of my family line brought by the slave trade; Seeing the similarities between these two cultures as well strengthens my bond between us.
You would think you would take a hint to go away, after she had her back to you the whole time, right? I guess not. Anyway, Navajo frybreads are the best (hence, my profile name--lol)!
Well, it really IS just donuts; Germans and Dutch have been frying WHEAT bread since before Columbus. The thin stuff is really from Swedish recipes. The people who have been pointing out that it's not really native anyway are RIGHT. I don't care; I loved my mom's wheat fried bread and I love this stuff too.
And it's a public venue. They're here selling the bread -- this is advertising! All my fellow white people go buy some frybread at the next powwow (hint: grandmas make the best frybread. Look for the elder ladies with the homemade jam and the hot coffee).
The closest I get is mostly visting the Makah and writing local news stories on the latest doings. They let me watch a frybread recipe because my husband is part Wyandotte.
actually lard can be more healthy than shorting, at least it's natural. shortening is hydrogenated vegetable oil, and is really bad for you. you should look into the processes(scary).example: if you set lard and shortening on a table the lard will go bad in no time the shortening won't. if bacteria wont eat it it's not food.
You mean cooking 'em or eating 'em? I've eaten several styles of them -- they are HEAVEN. Beating out frybread takes as much skill as spinning pizza dough; it's all good.
you're stupid... beating out dough with your hands and dropping it into oil is by no means "amazing". I live right next to the navajo reservation and see this act alomst daily. there is nothing special about it. why do people like you think that it's AMAZING for someone to do a normal act just because they are of a different race. what's next watching black women fry chicken?
Watching ANYBODY do something they're totally good at is amazing. I've tried to make tortillas repeatedly, and all I get is what I call Gringa Tortillas -- more like lumpy bread. I didn't grow up with it, and it looks like magic.
Hahah. Too true rtping. Navajos put it as though they have such a intriguing culture and history. But as history itself serves manifests that they are wimps. 3 year war with the cavalry? I mean come on their numbers were in the thousands. Take it from history Apaches are pure badass.
The differences between Apaches and Navajos are minuscule. Virtually the same language, etc. The Navajo have fought the Spanish, then the Mexicans, way before the United States. They are not "wimps". Their numbers are the highest and their lands constitute essentially their original ancestral lands, a far cry from most other tribes. I do not understand how they are "wimps".
Thank you Rummelhart. He or she is probably a Native hater anyway, they surround the Navajo reservations including Gallup and Farmington!! Mostly, because they live among the Natives so they "think" they know first hand why it's not important to like what we do or like our lifestyles. Just sharing some insights. ;)
...Fried bread is a tradition in nearly every Native American community. To Us, it's not the part that fried bread is amazing (which is is by all means; but, rather, recalling upon the memories of that tradition. We have something that white folks don't have, and that is community. Because of the segregative effect of reservations, and due to popular-culture, the lily-whites (and the average dumb ass) have come completely oblivious to such things as this, powwows, and social events alike.
This is one white folks that does nothing but agree. But: we've managed to use corn to poison ourselves, we can't really own land because of the legal precedence of land seizure in this country -- and we wouldn't have had copyright (or BATHS) if the natives hadn't taught us how.
hmmm....navajo fry bread, looks real tasty, kinda like mexican flour tortillas but instead of cookin' them on a hotplate, you fry 'em! As for the mutton stew, 1 minor difference, we use Pork and lately there's a few folks who prefer a vegetarian variety(no meat), we call it Pozole. Tlazo'Kamati for sharin'this interestin' vid!
This is why a lot of people have diabetes on the Navajo reservation. I love fried bread, but eat it occasionally. I see a lot of skinny Navajo girls with pot bellies...to much potatoes and fried bread. Not sexy at all. I'm a health nut.
Fry bread may not be a new invention and I was a tourist when I had mine. (Being a tourist is good, it broadens the mind):-)
While touring the South West I took a wrong turn ended up at the Anasazi Inn restaurant at Grey Mountain by chance where I had to try the Mutton Stew and fry bread. Both excellent, the mutton stew, very similar to Scotch Broth we have in Scotland, meat,water,vegetables and cereal all in one pot but where the Navajo use corn we use barley.
okay 'indian taco'? o call it navaho taco...or in the mexican way, Navajo taco...that is the only differience...mExican or american...hey that is all over the place
Everytime I watch this video, who is that lady? I'm navajo (47): Phoenix. But I love that lady in the white t-shirt making the frybread, (Rummelhart) where was this at, sweetheart?

When we go see that fireworks at Makah Days and Fourth of July in Neah Bay, we always get frybread with homemade blackberry jam and hot coffee. It keeps us warm on the cold beach all evening. Frybread and sparkly things in the sky.... mmmmm.

I'm a bit dumb on American geography, so I had to look up Neah Bay. Washington and Oregon are so bee-utiful. I picked as many berries as I could when I was there esp salmon and blackberries. Then I went back to Wyoming and they were $5.00 a pint!! But that sounds like the perfect 4th of July, yeah.

This year, Neah Bay is hosting The Journey -- the canoe paddle to Seattle. Google: The Journey Paddle
All the celebrations will be something to see this year. I work as a freelance journalist and I'm looking forward to sending stories from Neah Bay. They have free wifi in the Marina parking lot, 24-7, so I can send stories and photos and not have to miss the evening events!

Please put a video of that on youtube. Okay, well I hope you find humor in what i'm about to say. I was crusing your channel page and I saw a video 'Hector - still alive' or something like that with a mans pic. I thought, well bless his heart!! Then I found out that Hector is a cat lmao. Anyhow, much funnier from my side im sure. That is great that you took those cats into your home and they found love. I subscribed to your page, just love it.
Cast3131 2 years ago
Oh, yes, I'll certainly be filming for use on YouTube. Those of you from Neah Bay, I have films of the street during Makah Days, filmed for you away from home to see relatives and friends. Hope you enjoy! Yup, Hector's our ancient cat -- and as much a part of our family as we are. The man is my husband! Is he famous now?

Tthe dough is 75% of mastering the process. It's cheating , I put a "little" sugar in my dough, the sugar gives the bread a golden brown color & it rises nicely.
Practice at a ceremony where you have to help cook fry bread along w/ stew. Also, practice w/ a wet dishcloth between your hands, if you can get that cloth going between your hands w/o dropping it you're good.

Hmm.. You know. In the Powows off the Navajo REZ, I have noticed that the word Indian Taco is used a lot. So i think they misconstrue the meaning of Native American. Like... I say "I am Navajo" where as another may say "I am Native American" and yet a third may say "I am Dine'"
I believe the proper way is to say I am Navajo, Born of the salt clan and from the bitterwater clan, my chei is redstreak clan, and the mexican clan is my nalii....

I heard that originally there was no division between them. It was once the Spaniards came in in So. America, along with the English/French/etc. came in No. America, that the cultures had begun to change.
I'm glad that there are similarities between our traditions. I am an African with part of my family line brought by the slave trade; Seeing the similarities between these two cultures as well strengthens my bond between us.

actually lard can be more healthy than shorting, at least it's natural. shortening is hydrogenated vegetable oil, and is really bad for you. you should look into the processes(scary).example: if you set lard and shortening on a table the lard will go bad in no time the shortening won't. if bacteria wont eat it it's not food.

Schizophrenic23 4 years ago
The differences between Apaches and Navajos are minuscule. Virtually the same language, etc. The Navajo have fought the Spanish, then the Mexicans, way before the United States. They are not "wimps". Their numbers are the highest and their lands constitute essentially their original ancestral lands, a far cry from most other tribes. I do not understand how they are "wimps".

native4life5 3 years ago
...Fried bread is a tradition in nearly every Native American community. To Us, it's not the part that fried bread is amazing (which is is by all means; but, rather, recalling upon the memories of that tradition. We have something that white folks don't have, and that is community. Because of the segregative effect of reservations, and due to popular-culture, the lily-whites (and the average dumb ass) have come completely oblivious to such things as this, powwows, and social events alike.

This is one white folks that does nothing but agree. But: we've managed to use corn to poison ourselves, we can't really own land because of the legal precedence of land seizure in this country -- and we wouldn't have had copyright (or BATHS) if the natives hadn't taught us how.

Fry bread may not be a new invention and I was a tourist when I had mine. (Being a tourist is good, it broadens the mind):-)
While touring the South West I took a wrong turn ended up at the Anasazi Inn restaurant at Grey Mountain by chance where I had to try the Mutton Stew and fry bread. Both excellent, the mutton stew, very similar to Scotch Broth we have in Scotland, meat,water,vegetables and cereal all in one pot but where the Navajo use corn we use barley.
