"What a Six-Course, Gourmet Native American Meal Looks Like." All three Indigenous chefs featured in alter-NATIVE: Kitchen come together to prepare a multi-course meal of Native cuisine for a select group of Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Los Angeles. From Brian's agave-roasted rabbit tacos to Kalā's (cooking solo for a change) imu-cooked kalua pork to Hillel's painted like a Pawnee horse black bean salad (made from newly restored heirloom beans grown with love and resistance). And just wait til you get to these talented chefs' "dessert trio."

It would be great to have an indigenous food chain. Obviously it may or may not represent the food that well but I think it might spread the word that this food exists. I come from a world where we don't talk about this stuff barely at all and we just think native food is plain vegetables and plain fresh caught fish and nothing more.

I'm Cherokee, my tribe was forced on the "long walk" (trail of tears) like Hillel's. All our tribes lost so much, and thinking of someone gathering seeds along that trail and growing the plants that were lost from that time is actually making me cry. That's so beautiful and important

Us indigenous people on turtle deal with this(allergies) in modern times because of the introduction of dairy, processed bleached flour and sugar. If we went back to our traditional diet, a lot of our health issues would disappear. It would be worth to try to easy any pain or discomfort.

The Native American Indian foods varied according to the area of the continent. The Quechuas gave the world the potatoes. Thanksgiving dinner has a lot of Native American foods, corn, potatoes, turkey, pumpkin, and so on. Tamales, tortillas, beans, hot peppers, vanilla, tomatoes, chocolate, peanuts, and so on, and on, are all Native American foods. While hamburgers came from Hamburg, Germany, hot dogs, came from the Jewish emigration from Frankfurt, Germany, pies came from England, so not as American, as apple pie.

I'm nearly 80 and disabled. I live on my own. I grow many of my own vegetables, I bake all my own bread and I cook all my meals from basic ingredients i.e Raw chicken, potatoes carrots onions celery leeks etc. No cans of soup or packets of pudding mixes, oilsprays or scary GMO Frankenstein ingredients like canola oil. I live in the south of England and have been eating dandelions all my life. May I suggest people also try nasturtium flowers and leaves. People won't be healthy until they cook their own food from ingredients as nature intended. I know it takes time but I cook between 10 and 20 servings at a time, portioning it into single servings and then I freeze them. I have a freezer full of healthy meals containing no preservatives, artificial ingredients or scarey gmo Frankenstein ingredients. Because I cook in bulk and freeze as individual servings I probably spend less time than someone who goes to a convenience store and heats up a processed meal, not only that I save at least 50% on my food bill. Wake up people you are only as healthy as the food you feed yourself. It's not impossible if you plan a menu and shop to a shopping list. That way you will use every bit of food you buy and will have no waste. What are you waiting for? You are your own responsibility! Don't wait around for other people to do it for you!

Started attending a WITO outfit at Tenkiller State Park in Oklahoma and a lot of our instructors are Natives. They're so happy to tell their stories and teach their techniques to those of us who want to learn so that their stories and lives never die. I have learned so much through the Natives and their primitive living skills that they teach. It is kind of crazy to know that the indigenous people only make up 3% of the population. It's heartbreaking. We definitely need programs and Native History celebrated more and often.

This is a great video. I saw this on World Channel - PBS. I love frybread. I had it at the Pow-wows that were held in Chicago at Navy Pier when I was growing up. Like tortillas, simple ingredients, simple preparation, but requires a degree of artistry. I had one grandmother whose tortillas were like misshapen potholders. My other grandmother's would puff up, light as clouds on the comale. I watched both diligently for the secret. Never found it.

I am a dessert person. When I was small, no matter what was being served, I always went and ate the sweets first and the meal second. My mom finally got smart and did not get out the sweets until after the main meal was done. In our family it was serve yourself and everyone ate at a different pace, so everything was set on the table so you could dish up your own plate. That is until mom figured out how to keep me from desserts until everyone finished their meal.. also she figure that when I ate dessert first, then ate the meal, I was able to sneak a 2nd dessert when everyone was done with the main meal and getting their dessert, I got in line the 2nd time. Now after all these years I still eat sweets first. What I do is when its serve yourself , I get the meal dishes on the plate and off to the side I get a sweet dessert. That way I can get to the sweets first..Thats why I noticed the dessert dishes at the end, it all looks amazing, and I was drooling.. Great Job showing skills that no one would consider a Native having. Most think of the okd ways when meats were hunted, trapped, and cooked over fire, in pots, etc. No one even thought the foods would be spiced and flavored up. Nice that these abilities were shown off...

What you are doing is awesome and long over due. I might suggest that you will draw a broader audience and open more eyes by using terms like - look at the amazing things we almost lost vs the focus of what has been lost or the evils of the past. Most who will get involved with this know of the injustices and pain indigenous peoples have endured. But you are the dandelions full of medicine and benefits that flourishes despite the concrete and pesticides. I think your message is stronger if the bulk of what you speak about and focus on is future growth and what can be done to show the beauty of indigenous cultures. My great grand mother was Algoquian and I constantly want to learn more of that heritage. But the key in my opinion is We must honor the past but aim for the future. That is why the windshield is so much bigger than the rearview mirror. I see your future as very bright if you continue to teach and spread your gifts. Best Wishes in you quest.
