Piñon Picking With My Family | A Navajo Tradition

Hello there! In this video, I go piñon picking with my parents and my Nalii (Grandma) over the course of two days. Finding the piñons was a bit of a challenge, but we got lucky and found some trees to pick from. This is something my family has done for years & is a common practice for Native families. I had the best time making these memories with my parents & Nalii and we got some yummy piñons in the process!

Great tradition. And in my opinion there is nothing better than the strong scent of pinion.

Yá'át'ééh wow that's awesome that your Grandmother found an arrow head and that she teaches you about nature. Always keep learning, I miss my Grandfather and Grandmother teaching me. Nice to be out picking Piñon.

Good stuff. Wash them well.

[@troybrown5663]

I remember my aunt took me once over by St Michaels when i was a kid. I did not enjoy it! LOL! I like eating them, but not picking them. Takes a lot of work! That's why they kind of expensive. Great job and excellent video! Your channel popped up in my recommendations!

[@cherylb2008]

[@c.m.redhouse7667]

Please be careful with your beautiful pup. She's running all over, I'm afraid she might run out into the highway and get hit. It's heartwarming to see the love she gets from your family.
