How to Make Chiiłchin (Instructions in Navajo)

[southernnavajo]

I LOVE this! I didnt relize it was so easy to make and im sure to try it as soon as i can. Do you have a video on how to make blue mush too? I would also love to learn to make that as well. Thank you so very much for posting your videos.

[MsYahdahlah]

Thanks for sharing... I look forward to your next vid. Ahe'ee! :D

i like tht he's using a fork to mix the flour nd berries..xD

[GrapplingItalia]

woow such a nice sounding language.... Can you reccomend any "modern" Navajo singer to listen to ?

[emperorsenshi]

i assume you can't find any of this stuff anywhere outside the navajo rez?

[bimboblacky]

& all these comments about Terry looking Asian, I wonder if those good people R aware that Terry is NECESSARILY (there is now tons of evidence of this point) descended from ATHABASCAN roots? The other commenters reading this should go look that up & find the amazing TREASURE TROVE of information on the ANCESTORS of the Apache Nation and the Navajo Nation. I never have enough time 2 learn as much about it as I would like. I think Terry BREAKs a lot of negative Navajo/Dine stereotypes, 2, BTW.

@bimboblacky

Full blood Native Americans have still Asian hair like this guy in the video but Native Americans lost the flat face after crossing the land bridge making then unique and different from modern day Asians from Asia.

[bimboblacky]

So, the mountain (according 2 traditional ways, anyway) was supposed 2 B SACRED, right? Or something like that? Just checking on historical accuracy 4 myself here. NOT trying 2 give U a hard time about your publicly professed Christian faith, which I happen 2 share. I've heard those sumac berries R REALLY, really good! I NEVER got a chance 2 try stuff like that; the closest *I* ever came was prickly pear (berry) CANDY, which is quite yummy in & of itself. May God bless the Navajo Nation!!!

[vinnynative]

wow, i didn't know you could use flour...interesting...i usually make mine w/just blue corn and juniper ash....thanks, you have some great ideas.

[BiracialGirl1977]

Wow, i cant understand a lick of Navajo or any Native American language for that matter ( I'm not a Native American ) but I love the way the Navajo Language sounds, you could probably curse me out in Navajo and I would think what you just said was beautiful LOL You have such a calmness to your voice that would set me at peace. I'm really glad that you know your native language and keep your culture and traditions alive, you truly have a beautiful culture .

[ckaye1100]

what is that noise in the background...:( i'm trying to listen to the navajo here and the noise is distracting ;(

[LilVador]

Great video. Thanks for posting.

[nona423]

[genasinger88]

i wish i could speak navajo good like you lol will you teach me

[skippyheartrolie]

you look asian, but u also look native american. obviously your facial features are different from modern asians, which it makes u look amerindian

[descheenie1000]

Kool. Thanks for sharing with us.

[rriverstone1]

more like this, PLEASE

[FoodForTheSlaughter]

Thank you very much. Using someone else's account, but I appreciate hearing the language. :)

[LadyNavajo1]

Nicely done. Never had it. What does it taste like?

[HSBombay]

I loved the whole, the whole, the whole process! It was pretty epic! Huge! ;)

[madireks]

I love the way you are are keeping your language and traditions alive and at the same time you are serving the creator of the world. I am fascinated by cultures from around the world and its great to see how native Americans live now as opposed to the Hollywoood sterotypes. Thanks and may God bless you

[doriannlee]

LOL...yes, we all know u have to turn on the stove to boil ingredients. Thank u! Will definitely try this. Just sitting here tying up my ch il ah whe..(spelling") wild tea.

[123456789abcderg1011]

amm ok i vever seen that bfor caz we do ours differnt over here in Alamo NAvajo!!we dont use Flore, or hot water!!We just dry it grind it then mix it with water n shuger!!!

[Uroojinator]

I love the way Navajo is so descriptive... there are no "general" words, or so I've discovered so far.. everything is "described"..!! I wish I could learn the language.

[smallnavajo]

Wow! I'm a "smallnavajo" and I've NEVER even realized we could use those berries for such a treat! I'm defintiely going to try you recipe! Also, since I'm from a different part of the Navajo reservation, I recognize the difference in your dialectal verbage, however I love the way you present it. Keep these vidoes coming! I'll be posting you on FB. Take care and MANY blessings!!

[twiztdupsmoke187]

Very nice video...I liked the ipod vid. I told my family about it...I was wondering if you know how to spell "poop" in Navajo...haha off topic i know but Im curious...I see many people try and spell it.

[tabaaha92]

@twiztdupsmoke187 chąą` ,.,.,., lol

[cattleprods911]

I just spent time in Chinle and knew almost nothing about the Navajo people prior. You're videos will surely go a long way to preserve this beautiful language and culture.

Also, I think you have a great attitude in expressing love of our savior Jesus Christ. Christ is not "of" one people or another...Christ died for all people and all nations. We are all united and therefore one by and through Christ....and you, btw, represent Christ/Christianity very very well.

God bless!

[TheChiefAtlas]

@cattleprods911

Christ died to make a world order...

[qualqui]

NIZHONI!!!!! = )

[qualqui]

@jvjobi yeah, there are brothers and sisters here that look asian too, but then others look like east indians, i guess this is why Columbus named us indians, truth be each and every tribe usually, in their own language, call themselves, The People. Jari Naraski tata/nana, greetings to you man/woman, in pur'epecha! = )

[sheepcampwarrior]

Glad to see someone keeping the language alive.

[ayyahze]

That was so awesome! I don't think I could give directions or instructions on how to make fry bread in Navajo.... That is awesome!!!!! two thumbs up!

[cwicseolformask]

That you subtitled everything bilingually is fantastic on its own, let alone the excellent video. Absolutely wonderful and every kind of interesting.

Great recipe suggestions, too - thanks so much for posting!

[tuscaroraRain]

I don't speak Navajo yet. But I enjoy how you puts the tabs in English. It was really helpful. Also its nice you spoke it in Navajo. I have a Navajo freind that could use this. Hope you don't mind my posting it on facebook.

[XSONNYX80]

this isone my favorite video. awsome.

[n8vfrybread]

oh wow! that's like what we make back home in alaska except our word for it is atsiu'raq and we use fresh wild berries. some times we'll drizzle it with canned milk and sugar to cut down the tartness cause some times the berries are a little tart

[sweet7rose12]

I could use this receipe for my students. You're. Awesome!

[spookyboy6619]

this was cool man!!!..i wish i could speak navajo..!

[chidii19]

dude that was an awesome video! you killed!

[Medracin]

Wow, such a cool language, though why does the whisk have such a long name in Navajo? What does it mean exactly?

[daybreakwarrior]

Béésh- metal

Ts'ósí- the slender one

Bee ił na'atsíhí- by means of it you stir or poke around...

When this word is used Navajos don't have to think of each word. They "see" the object immediately. For example, Rock Star... you don't think of a "rock" and a "star" separately before you think of a music entertainer. You think of a Rock Star.

[hwiseman1]

@daybreakwarrior

I hope to learn Dine one day. Very good vid..I'm subscribing.

[Rochambeau1000]

@Medracin what daybreakwarrior is trying to say is that before navajos didn't have a word for most of the things used today so they just described it which make some words long

[bimboblacky]

@Rochambeau1000 Amen! 4 example, let's C *U* try 2 describe an extraterrestrial flying saucer in one BRIEF all-encompassing word without sacrificing any accuracy. (Heh heh heh). :%)

[Rochambeau1000]

@bimboblacky Yes a UFO hahaha

[mcworldnet]

A he he shi bread!

[carolinen09]

Ya'a'teeh kesmmes to you and your family! I never knew of Chiilchin. Now I am very curious of the taste. Once I find some Chiilchin I'll try it. This is an awesome video, I'm learning alot from your videos. You are a gifted instructor in the Navajo Language. Continue your good work!

[Nenayahe]

yaateeh keshmesh! omg thats so cute

[madisonelectronic]

PS: Thanks!

[madisonelectronic]

No wonder the Navajo Code Talkers drove the japs crazy in WWII.

[wobeck]

Ahéhee'!

[mosalinda]
