Hi Sam thank you for your appreciation and memorizing this corn grinding song. This is lovely that you are so receptive. Thank you again. Hope your Thanksgiving is gobble gobble good. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandmahope you have a blessed Thanksgiving and appreciate your kindness. Are there any corn maiden or kachina doll songs? My daughters love these stories and songs.
There are songs but some few know anymore. That corn grinding song only myself and a few remember. I will check as I am learning more old songs too. Love you!! Navajo Grandma
Hello Navajo Grandma. It's been a long time since I've responded to you and your teaching. I have been suffering with an Autoimmune disorder. I'm not able to do much, but you made me happy this morning with the story of the 3 sisters. Please pray for me and I will always pray for you. Thank you for being the wonderful gracious lady you are.🌽🍆🫘♥️
Hi Kathleen, even in your circumstance you are so kind to watch my video. I send you my hugs of healing! I had a huge autoimmune disease doctors could not find what it was and all they did was suggest this and that. It was unbearably getting worse as it involved awful pain. Thus I told my husband to find me a homeopathic doctor. He did and when I came in as I couldn't walk due to pain all over and could barely handle myself. She tested me and said, "you are horrifically acidic." She then did enema's and cleaned out my gut, small and large intestines. Now they say what's in your gut has the greatest cause and effect on your health. Well this woman being from Germany looked at me and said, "Are you here to live or die?" What could I say but to live. You will do as I say. That was it. I got 3 enema's a week at the tune of $199 each. She gave me incredible greens, beets, vitamins that were in powder form I mean the veggies and beets, I drank a drink we pulped from a machine my husband bought for over $6000. It was insane as we didn't have that much money. He tried working but tried caring for me & he didn't know how. I drank this pulped juice and took the vitamins. It gave me strength as my gut was being cleaned out. I lost tons of weight and everyone thought I was dying of cancer. I had to reteach myself how to walk, use my hands. I slept on a Nikken Magnet bedding and it stopped the pain but when I got off it came back. Only once I took a Tylenol 3 and that was it. Friends came over and sang to me, played violin music for me, my husband blessed me, I prayed profusely. I lived. Because I didn't finish my regime with this German lady she now will not talk to me. So no matter. It is true we are awfully acidic due to the soda, meats, candy, chips, cookies, some veggies, etc. Almost everything is acidic. You just need to find the ones and with the help of this homeopathic dr she showed me what it was I had to maintain on. I tried eating a ordered out food, like beans at taco bell a my husband tried to take me on a drive. It almost killed me. The beans had so much salt in it I spat it out. It never bothered me before as my body had become use to the crap in foods ordered out. We are so knumb to what we eat. I had to reteach myself to not salt my food and eat things raw and carefully but now I eat normal again and I am revisiting my diet again. We all need to be careful. Even veggies turn into sugars and spike our pancreas and on and on. I wish I could take care of you. I know what you are going thru and you are a brave soul to ask for prayers. I had gpa raise his hands to the square and to bless you with the Holy Priesthood. I pray for you too. I send you health, strength and you shall see thru your faith in God and Jesus Christ that you will start to see His healing upon you. I know this. Lean on my faith sweetheart. I love my Lord Jesus Christ and my dear Heavenly Father. If we didn't get sick or have trials how can we continue to have Faith, He wants us to show Him we love and honor Him. This is God our Father. I pray you understand. I only speak truth Kathleen thru my wisdom, why would one speak otherwise only for gain. There is nothing to gain here but your faith,, your love for God and Jesus and to be healed thru faith. It is a win win for you and that is my prayer I give to you and my reply. Be strong. Your body can heal. Pray and remember who gives you life? Hugs with tons of healing and sweet songs of the spirit. Let me know your condition and don't be quiet. I want to know how you are healing.💗💗💗💗💗 Navajo Grandma
Genesis 1:29 is what the Father says is best for Life. Without the chemical fertilizers, they are not living, organisms. But oil refineries, byproducts.
Myron, just plant a garden, lovingly, tenderly talk to & raise these precious food, bless it, eat. God will cleanse it. I promise. Thus is our Native Dine" teaching I learned from my Nali. Just have faith. Navajo Grandma
Well carry on the tradition and plant the 3 Sisters. The next video is soaking the seeds first then we will plant them. Fun to garden. Excellent psychotherapy!!! Hugs from Navajo Grandma
This is the corn grinding song. The Dine' women singers sang this to the corn grinders as they worked grinding. It's not an easy job. Back breaking thus hearing a song lifts the burden and more so how beautiful it sounded with the grinding. Navajo Grandma
Thank you so much. I have to laugh because youtube said my other recorded song was copy right LOL! So I just did another with my plain voice. Its not pretty let me tell you. I was frustrated that youtube copy righted my own recording. So thanks for your compliment. Navajo Grandma (Its a corn grinding song)
This is not my lesson but it was the way of Native Nations saving water and having one plant or two depending upon each other and thru it all growing excellent edible food. Shade, moisture, corn stalk strength instead of a pole, and just plain excellent compatibility. I am just the messenger. Thanks. Navajo Grandma
I am alive. Navajo Grandma. Happy you use the 3 sister method. A lot of subscribers want to learn. So the next 2 videos will be preparing the seeds, then planting. Gma
Awwwww you are always so kind to grandma!!! I had to sing this cuz of copy right of my own song!! I can't believe it. I was rather tiffed when I decided oh heck just sing it. I sang into my phone and there it is. LOL!! I didn't care what anyone thought. Its just creepy to have a copy right of your own recording. So enough. I love you so and guess what? I went to a Pow Wow with gpa in Heber, Utah. I fell in love with it all over again. You know that when you go to a Pow Wow it was once for blessings to receive, but not its like everyone selling stuff. Very dishonored really. We are old folks who know what it use to be. LOL!! All dancers are giving you blessings just not dancing. Somehow we gotta get together. Please drive carefully out there. Praying for you always. Hugs from your Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Sounds like They’ve turned the POW WOW into a circus 🤡 🎪… What a shame 🙏🏽…. Not right… Yes, it’s a celebration 🎉 but not a Hustle… WOW 😮 Unbelievable….
Hello across the Great Waters to lenelovis!! Hi there and thank you for taking the time to watch Navajo Grandma. You and I know how to plant and thank you for commenting. This brings me such joy!! Iche Liebe Dich, I know I spelled it wrong. My love to you. Navajo Grandma
I wondered what happened, it looks like YT unsubscribed me. So glad I was able to catch up on the videos I missed. I just love your humble teachings. Be well and many blessings to you my friend❤️🙏
TY Grandma. My Grandma was Cherokee, and very wise as you are. Her brother, my uncle Bill, was a shaman. I so love your stories & happy I found your channel 🙏💖😇
Colette WELCOME AND WELCOME!! Come sit next to grandma and listen and learn our Navajo culture and traditions. Welcome my dear one. I love my subscribers. Navajo Grandma
Hello Navajo Grandma! This is my second time to watch the " Three Sisters" planting series. I really enjoy these and the beautiful artwork. Hope you have had a blessed Sunday. Sending warm thoughts and hugs. ~ Debbie
You need to try this. Thanks so much for your desire to being receptive. It's an honor. Appreciate your compliments. Happy you are watching, listening & learning. Hugs galore from Navajo Grandma
Phillip my dear don't freak out!! I need to tell the story of a Jewish man who came to BYU devotional speaking about the guards never allowing the news to drink water. If they were thirty they held their cups and the only liquid these news drank was the German laughing unzipping themselves placing their penis near the cup, and pissing. Except this guy prayed over each urine cup. Gave some to the sick men as they asked, "fresh water, where did you get it?" They drank & got healed. No one has faith as such anymore. Miracles haven't ceased either. Pray over all you ear and drink. Navajo Grandma
Beth you are so funny. I am going to show how to prepare the seeds by soaking them. Sounds easy but you would be surprised what people do. Its always a good thing to show. Simple but a good simple learning experience. Hugs from Navajo Grandma
Yaaeeteh Grandma and Geandpa. I love this story especially my grandma ran design of 3 sisters corn pole bean and squash to west.. corn tall to support beans and squash to west to sheild afternoon sun.
Hee hee, when chatting with malaseet, it’s their three sisters, when chatting with the migmaw,it’s theirs. 🤭everyone wants the sisters…Same with Cherokee. One place corn hadn’t been growing in a couple thousand years, bible lands… yet it’s in the Bible 🤔. I love to plant the three sisters under the seven sisters. 💚🙏🏻
You made me laugh!! 3 sister under the 7 sisters!! Great line! Yes, all of the Native Nations claim this Three Sister planting. Oh well. Each has a story to go with it. You are spot on. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma if one has to be around humans, it’s best to be surrounded by the sisters. When my family transplanted to Maine from the Boston area the late seventies, early eighties, everyone in Massachusetts laughed at how Mainers said “wicked”. Wicked good, wicked bad, wicked strong etc . Now there’s Massachusetts t shirts that say wicked and they claim it was a Boston saying. In Maine they say “ in Maine if you don’t like the weather, wait a minute “… until you go up to Newfoundland and they have an old saying that’s the same thing for them 🤷♂️. I’m not going to complain to a native about cultural appropriation though, even my hypocrisy has its limits. I think we learn as much about the cultures from the differences as the similarities.
Corn is the European word for grain. Maize was one of the words for what we eat today as corn. Corn is in the bible because they translated the Latin, Hebrew, and Roman words for grain into corn.
@@09echols there’s words for grains. I can only parrot those who study words in many languages and ancient dialects. Hebrew as we know it now is a lost language, recreated by Arabic language if I understand correctly. We also have marijuana , cocaine, tobacco and other Central American substances found in Egyptian remains. The Israelites were hyscos (sp?)Egyptians. As well as tens of thousands of gold pieces in South America with African origins. To me it’s clear there was long established trade routes between the continents long ago and across many demographics, long before our current Jesuit narrative teaches.
What a beautiful story. Thank you for telling it. I would love to hear more, when you have the time. I saw your reply to a comment on here about Nikken magnetic bedding. I am researching that now, along with changing my diet for more natural products. Thank you. Love and blessings.
I am homeopathic and anything that is invasive is off my list. I can't believe you read this. So Nikken has the best every directional polarization than any magnet. Sad they don't have what they once did. Worth the investment. Navajo Grandma

Thank you for this lovely story grandma. I love when u sing this song. I think I heard it in another video of yours. Were you a school teacher at some point in your life?
No just a mother of 7 wild Japanese, Hawaiian, Navajo Indians. 4 sons, 3 daughters. This is culture & traditions of our Native Nations thus it's planting season and some kept asking me about planting the 3 Sisters. Navajo Grandma
Well my response is this: "we are all teachers." We need to be careful what we exemplify and teach with our actions and our words. It must always be to the glory of God our Father, and to give hope, faith, and to allow others to see their value and more of course. Hugs. Navajo Grandma
You make me laugh. I had to laugh too. I put on a recording better than this one of my singing this Corn Grinding song. I got taken down for copy right! I about you know what! So I just sang this on the spot and didn't care what you all thought. Sometimes youtube gets weird, but my music is Native songs and they copy right me often. Even when it is my own recording at a pow wow. I just record over it with my shaker and no more copy right. Idiots. Oh well. I ranted now I am well LOL!! Glad you gave me a kind comment, Hugs from Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma oh boy don’t want the gift shop Indians on your tail… Joanne Shenandoah is like Elvis to the new age movement, don’t get me started on them 🤭
Thank you so much for sharing this. I was sharing with my Scottish husband and our children about The Three Sisters. 💖💖💖 All three start with, "Naa." Can you please share what this word means? 💖
naadą́ą́' (nah-daah) CORN naayízí (nah-yi-zi) SQUASH naa'ołí (nah-o-thlii) Beans Naa means - around you. Referring to what grows around you maybe back in the old days and it has remained as defined from back then to now. I hope this helps. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Thanks you, Grandmother Dine! From whom did the Dine get the Three Sisters? Over here in the UK and Europe, but also in the Middle East, Africa, Asia (I used to live there as well) they have a very similar story: A woman from the sky who goes by *so* many different names, but seems to be the same Sky-Woman, and she taught Mankind agriculture and how to make beer. She seemed to travel a lot around the world teaching agriculture and how to make beer! Do the Dine have a similar Sky-Woman who taught the same or..? I live overseas but I am White, Crow, and Blackfoot but also I have some African-American ancestors as well, the enslaved ones. And I love to hear the ancient stories of all these cultures! Have a beautiful day! Michelle White Horse
@@InTheWind_ So few think of the words and their meanings and how they became. There is such a meaning that something is around you, grown to sustain one. Interesting. Navajo Grandma
You need to understand there are prayers that you see online and repeated prayers but not according to the real heart felt prayers said over our lives, our ways we travel, the food we eat and over our plants, gardens and etc. It is all said and stated from the heart. The process of prayers are to kneel and to first express gratitude for all you have, talents, abilities, blessings, our life, breath and existence, for our lands and our freedoms to accomplish what we may, then express the need. What you planted and all you need, water, moisture, pest control, protection, the nutrition vital for the body thru this planting, and whatever you may desire to ask, then the blessings to help you to accomplish your errand as the gardener with health and strength, wisdom in caring for the successful outcome for the garden. Be it said simply or however, just do it from your heart and always in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. It is not complicated, it only sounds like it is when explanining. Thank you for this excellent question!! Prayer covers all of life. Its faith that brings success. Hugs and thank you again. Navajo Grandma
Thank you for this information and yes you can use whatever seeds you want. It is encouraging to hear. WELL DONE! Thank you for sharing. I love this. Navajo Grandma
Some survived our frost because I covered them up with hay :) I'm still planting pots and my area I put all my Ponys poop :) The squash are comfortable there they know what to do I love this story :) Beautiful
I am preparing a drawing of how to plant this 3 Sisters for those who have asked. I am on the road doing my research business thus I do not have the time to plant but I can draw and show how to do this. Thank you. Navajo Grandma

Naa means - around you. Referring to what grows around you maybe back in the old days and it has remained as defined from back then to now. I hope this helps. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma I love how it has such a descriptive meaning! "Around you"

Thanks you, Grandmother Dine!
From whom did the Dine get the Three Sisters? Over here in the UK and Europe, but also in the Middle East, Africa, Asia (I used to live there as well) they have a very similar story:
A woman from the sky who goes by *so* many different names, but seems to be the same Sky-Woman, and she taught Mankind agriculture and how to make beer.
She seemed to travel a lot around the world teaching agriculture and how to make beer!
Do the Dine have a similar Sky-Woman who taught the same or..?
I live overseas but I am White, Crow, and Blackfoot but also I have some African-American ancestors as well, the enslaved ones. And I love to hear the ancient stories of all these cultures!
Have a beautiful day!

@@InTheWind_ So few think of the words and their meanings and how they became. There is such a meaning that something is around you, grown to sustain one. Interesting. Navajo Grandma
Are there any special prayers for planting, tending, and harvesting The Three Sisters?
You need to understand there are prayers that you see online and repeated prayers but not according to the real heart felt prayers said over our lives, our ways we travel, the food we eat and over our plants, gardens and etc. It is all said and stated from the heart. The process of prayers are to kneel and to first express gratitude for all you have, talents, abilities, blessings, our life, breath and existence, for our lands and our freedoms to accomplish what we may, then express the need. What you planted and all you need, water, moisture, pest control, protection, the nutrition vital for the body thru this planting, and whatever you may desire to ask, then the blessings to help you to accomplish your errand as the gardener with health and strength, wisdom in caring for the successful outcome for the garden. Be it said simply or however, just do it from your heart and always in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. It is not complicated, it only sounds like it is when explanining. Thank you for this excellent question!! Prayer covers all of life. Its faith that brings success. Hugs and thank you again. Navajo Grandma
@@NavajoGrandma Thank you for explaining!!
