- This speech was delivered January 27, 2022 and sponsored by the Crow Canyon Archaeological Center out of Nuche (Ute) Territory (aka Cortez, Colorado). Lyla June discusses several examples of Indigenous food systems both in pre-Columbian times as well as in the present. These examples show us ways in which we can live in more harmony with Earth's processes to create abundance for all life, including, but not just for humans.
LAND BACK!!!✊🏽
*dan is back
Lyla June, Never stop Geeking out! You are doing vital work. Keep sharing your beautiful light with the world.
We love you❤ Peace and love, y'all☮️💜
Thank you. The individual's goal is humanity's role: to flower the mind; awaken the soul. Freedom sparkled a destiny of global rebirth as a dewdrop soaked in, to nourish the earth...💧 Infinite 💖 from Cornwall, England.
WONDERFUL and BEAUTIFUL!
THANK YOU💞
Thoroughly interesting, Ayla.!.
Ancient, authentic knowledge and wisdom - resonated to the bone. Back to the healthy smart way. Walk in Beauty. Namaste and thank you both. This is equal to years of college in an hour video, interesting to future students AND should replace most curriculum.
Architects of abundance. 🎵
Things may never be the same but perhaps better than the present and more.
I know her music is powerful but now i know how intelligent and the things of history she is so amazing.I love learning the things she is talking about.Thank You Lyla.You have taught me things i did not know.
I feel the same
Yes! Spot on! America using way to many pesticides & genetically modified organisms = GMO'S! No thanks! I love Wynonna LaDuke's rice from Minnesota! I wanna check out her hemp very soon❣💃🔥
What a blessing you are Lyla June! I have heard your music and cherish it! I had no idea how much more rich your knowledge is! Thank you so much for sharing! ❤🙏❤😇🔥💧🌈🌞🌚⚡🌬❄💎
What an absolutely beautiful person. I could just listen to her forever. Lol ❤️
Thank you !
Life changing for me. This is more than what I have been looking for.
People in extreme desert ification areas in this world have been able to re green things using animal grazing as a way to bring the greenery in the environment back also restoring rivers and streams! As well as Springs! Animals can do amazing things and amazing animal stewardship and management can do absolutely incredible things! We must start dreaming our Dream bigger and smarter and brighter and more clever than ever!
Your words resonate with me deeply. Thank you for the energy you put into increasing awareness as well as the levels of knowledge, where it can sound complex, but is intrinsically simple once known, observed and innerstood.
We are the care takers. Which means we should act with care in everything we do. Life is precious. Habitat is precious. Soil is living, the earth is living, we are the ones charged with, and able to nurture her.

And yes! Food sheds and Cooperative just like you said our highly important and were prized by our ancestors! It's time for us to get our ship together!
I’ve always found it quite interesting how it seems how only the native people of Earth, (before the white mans reign) saw one another as all from the same family and one species, no races.
It’s time we once again celebrate what our ancestors had put into practice to be passed on, not forgotten or neglected.
Thank you for your continued wisdom Lyla✨❤️🔥✨
Agree with you about what you see know about natural ways of living and it's feeling great through out within outward and respect from my heart ♥ knowing that our tradition Cultural are alive and living within and outward to our we us all ❤
Thank you for being a courageous and clear leader on our way back home. I value and cherish all that you share. Landback and following the lead of Indigenous peoples in restoring a right relationship to food systems and land care is collectively the best strategy for human survival that I can think of. Thank you, I'm eagerly following your work, and also part of the movement here in Oregon for landback, Indigenous management, and cultural fire. .
I believe you were right the Buffalo will come where the nutrients are abundant in the Grasses. Our family has had the privilege to own 340 acres the past 20 years the farmer had to sell to settle the estate for his brother. 4 generations they farmed it my brother plants the fields every year for wildlife. The deer are very healthy and now we have bears and savy using the land. We have planting parties every spring where we introduce different species of native trees and berrybushes all that produce food for wild life. . And at 63 now we're looking to the younger generations to take over the Raines .and find the joy of giving back to what has given us so much. Thank you for sharing so much wisdom. Will be looking into using the burn technique.
Great interview and presentation! Amazing amount of information in one video 🌝👍
"The buffalo followed our fires". You're brilliant Lyla. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. ✌🏼💘💡
Thank you for sharing what you've learned! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is such an incredible presentation of sacred and ancestral knowledge + wisdom. This information is prolific and you are incredible. #LandBack to all Indigenous Peoples. Salamat (thank you), Lyla.
Great interview to both of you.thanks so much for the knowledge and hopping for a much larger landback from the gouvernment.as for sure any land that is managed by a system such as yours is a winning combination.loved hearing from this lady a true knower.they are and always will be a great people.lets pray for more landback.god bless
I learn a lot today thank you my friends
Family I lived in Alaska raising my children in the bush with my late husband for 10 years and we used to hang out with the elders and the chief's brother of the Haida clan of Southeast Alaska where we were friends with many of the eagle and Raven Clan and sometimes would beast and celebrate and have beautiful memories woven together to cherish forever and I do remember us eating and sharing in the beautiful Hemlock branches covered in the Herring Roe! And I also remember a pulling crab pots with them and when I went seal hunting with the chief's brother! They would shoot seals and the sea lions would be in competition with us! What a beautiful adventure of life! Thank you Lyla June for keeping up our great work!.. you are importing such a beautiful wisdom and the message of The Great I Am and so much of our combined super skills of tuning in learning and sharing with new friends! Make Great Spirit be with you and all you do, your friends and family too! Much love to All you family crew!
Stick with nature and stay away from doctors it makes things so much better these days!
Watching and listening to you since you were much younger continue your work
Oh wow first-time I have heard of her. This is awesome I'm so glad someone did this. Just about the entire continent of North America was really a food farm. I think it was way more then the first Europeans could imagine. I am really impressed with this. Thank you for the video
What I learned is that tons of food was grown to trade with the whole indigenous world. Like these chestnuts made it into California, which in old times was called tula.
Just one example between two areas in trade. This happened by the thousands of nations in trade with each other.
This is so awesome! I am ordering that book on fire. I want to expand on the work of Elinor Ostrom to include indigenous peoples. I would love to include all of these examples. Would it be possible to get a copy of your slides please? Keep up the great work!
I love your name
Yes soul-sister the knowledge is not extinct! And we also have the akashic records also known as the halls of Akasha to tap into, we have generations of wisdom passed down one to another with beautiful and wonderous Waze! And nowadays we have the World Wide Web also prophesied by our beautiful Native American elders like the big mother spider spinning her web to connect all these things these days! We have the power to utilize things right Waze! We can either spend our days not doing anything or we can take heart and passion enough to do something! Let's build beautiful permaculture Paradise projects around the world! Let's help heal the ecosystems the environment and our beautiful world together shall we!
Deeply inspiring 🙏.
Thank you for this. I've been going through Dirt from David R. Montgomery. In regards to privatisation of land - it seems to have been one of many recurring problems of civilisations that collapsed. Privatisation leads to isolation from the ecosystem and the exploitation of soil for short term gain - mirroring what you mentioned in your answer. After hearing about how various civilisations failed due to stupidity, it was good to hear a totally different story of how the Indigenous were of the opposite mindset, and completely thrived within the ecosystems.
Lyla is amazing and full of wisdom . Than you
Up in the Andes , some archeologist found some mounds.
For a long time it was unknown what they were for. This is 14 thousand feet above sea level. In the daytime it's blistering hot , at night it becomes ice cold. They brought the mounds to life by understanding they were islands to grow food. It was discovered that the mounds were islands surrounded by three feet of water. By adding water around the mounds , the water became very hot , at night the cold made it steam , this protected crops from freezing at night. Which would freeze to death without this system. The natives who were once a little hungry , use the mounds to grow food now , a couple of years later they looked healthier. I love my ancestors who found many , many ways to work with nature. Like a now extinct people , which needless to say makes me angry. Their area they lived in up far north , like Eskimo but had another name , I saw this twenty years ago. I only remember the ingenious solution to get a kayak type boat into choppy waters. This vessel was about twenty feet long. Every time you would put a boat into this water , it would sink. The solution was to make the frame with joints like a skeletal system , this would allow for the boat to bend , the front of it was split into two parts like the beak of a bird , with its mouth open. This allowed the water to concentrate its blow to hit the open part center. This pushed the top open part of the bird like beak upward. And kept it from sinking with the first choppy wave that hit the front of the boat.
Anything else that wasn't built this way would sink. It was awesome.
I can’t wait till you post more videos!! Thanks for your spirit!! The people need your words.
Fantastic knowledge for all to embrace. In WA I know on The Sol Duc near the San Juan Strait, the management of the region was brilliantly managed for centuries by the Indigenous people.... There are hot springs there as well. It must have been a great place of abundance...
Not by chance nor by power but by the great Spirit I am hearing this stream. Thank you Lord
Aho, Lyla, you are so knowledgeable and interesting to listen to. Keep on with what the elders taught you in doing what you do.the world needs to learn from the indigenous peoples on land management today! Blessings to you and thank you for your knowledge.
She is a beautiful woman 💯✌️
Marry her
Very interesting.
Thank you for sharing this!
Fascinating. I just bought a 22 acre farm in Missouri. I have planted hazelnut trees have a small wetland area.
I was hoping you could direct me to a book so I could research how to reintroduce cane and other indigenous plants.
Thank You♥️🌾🌹🌍🌏🌎🌻
Thank you for your work
Thank you for this valuable information
Willow is also a wonderful material as a companion to cane, we are growing much of it in the South Willamette Valley, Oregon USA.
This queen is amazing! Thank you so much for your activeness and pray Creators blessings🧡💯✊🏽🪶
Thank you. Wonderful information! I am in central Arizona and I can see where this has been used (a long long time ago). Would love to see a pilot project like that here. Blessings!
And there really should be no waste when done properly everything goes back into the reusing and recycling game! And that is the name of the game!
While driving horse carriage in Alaska I would stop and pick up the seaweed and load it on top of some horse poop and head home and then fill my Gardens and raised garden beds with this great Elixir for life! And I also made a valuable compost tea and fed warm beds with this combination
This is incredible treat others how you would like to be treated same goes for the land respect it and it will sustain the people we take more than we give back eventually mother will reclaim that debt
They say in many places of the world that are lacking in boron that the people in the animals suffer tremendously even from painful arthritis and Indigenous peoples around the world have found by putting Borax in the garden and food that they help themselves with a Panacea! I have talked to Old-Timers that used to rub down the hams and the food out of the SmokeHouse with Borax and I also know fisherman who made their own bait by utilizing borax and sprinkling it over the fish eggs and other things they wish to preserve. Indigenous peoples use it to treat bamboo when first pulled out of the ground they allow the borax to penetrate the bamboo and it can also be used and painted on to preserve things. Bugs hate it and it is salty, what's inside of it is oxygen water salt and boron and it is useful for so many different things! Check it out! They even use it as a clean form of metal mining to be able to safely extract the metals out of the ore and not wreck the environment! We know Mercury is super toxic and harmful for our environment and much of this can be mitigated with the use of borax for mining! It has many homeopathic and holistic uses to be checked out thousands upon thousands of uses!!!
I truly deeply love her from Australia 🙏🏽 2471 n.s.w xoxo

Indians in America are yet to be considered human beings, even though the Pope issued a papal bull in 1898 that declared us to be human beings. But to show you the institutional racism, the sports teams are still using the Indians as mascots.
[There is] a mistaken belief that [the word Indian] refers somehow to the country, India. When Columbus washed up on the beach in the Caribbean, he was not looking for a country called India. Europeans were calling that country Hindustan in 1492.... Columbus called the tribal people he met "Indio," from the Italian in dio, meaning ~
"in God."
Being is a spiritual proposition. Gaining is a material act. Traditionally, American Indians have always attempted to be the best people they could. Part of that spiritual process was and is to give away wealth, to discard wealth in order not to gain. ~ Russell Means
Nixtamalization is a process whereby dry maize grain is soaked and cooked in an alkaline solution, usually made from lime. This process has several benefits including to cause the fiberous outer hull, the pericarp, to separate and float away enabling the remaining grain to be more effectively ground; increasing protein and vitamin content availability; improving flavor and aroma and reduction of mycotoxins. In the Aztec language Nahuatl, the word for this procedure is a compound of nextli “ashes” and tamal “corn dough.”
The ancient process of nixtmalization was first developed in Mesoamerica, where maize was originally cultivated. There is no precise date when the technology was developed, but the earliest evidence of nixtamalization is found in Guatemala’s southern coast, with equipment dating from 1200-1500 BC. The ancient Maya and the Aztecs used lime (calcium oxide, not to be confused with the citrus fruit of the same name) and/or ashes in creating alkaline solutions, while the tribes of North America used natural deposits of sodium carbonate or ashes. The nixtamal process was very important in the early Mesoamerican diet as maize, one of the so-called Three Sisters of agriculture along with beans and squash, was deficient in essential amino acids and niacin. A population depending on untreated maize as a staple food would be malnourished and develop the food deficiency known as pellagra. Cooking with lime enables a balance of essential amino acids and makes available niacin. Without the use of nixamalization, civilization in Mesoamerica would not have existed.
Maize was introduced to Europeans by Christopher Columbus and started being grown in Spain as early as 1498. Europeans accepted maize within a generation, but they did not adopt the nixtamalization process, perhaps because they developed an industrial milling processes that did not need to remove the outer skin (or pericarp). However, without nixtamalization maize is a much less nutritional, leading to outbreaks of pellagra in areas where it became a staple grain, such as certain regions of Italy and Africa.
Lime (‘cal’ in Spanish) is limestone (or seashells or coral) that has been baked in a kiln in a low oxygen environment. Lime reacts with water to produce calcium hydroxide and tremendous heat. It is the portable heat source in self-heating food packages in military rations. It is also a main ingredient in cement, plaster, and mortar which doesn’t make it sound very appetizing. Lime is chewed with a drug called betelnut in Asia and was used with chewing tobacco to enhance nicotine delivery among Native Americans.
The U.S. version of nixtamalized corn to produce hominy and grits (which are dried ground hominy) traditionally uses mild lye (potassium hydroxide), often derived from wood ash. This process does not add calcium to the food.
A new industrial process has been developed known as enzymatic nixtamalization which produces an instant masa flour more cheaply. The process consists of whole kernel corn being cooked in water without any alkaline substances. Water from the initial cooking stage is re-used in subsequent washings or cookings which helps preserves the solids. Then the cooked corn is steeped or soaked in a lime solution (.05%) at 50-60C for three to four hours. Then the corn kernels are decanted, ground coarsely, and dried for milling into masa flour. After milling, additional lime and other substances, are sometimes added to produce a more traditional taste. The benefits of this process is quicker production time; reduced corn solid loss (2% as opposed to 5-14%) and reduced amounts of lime use. Tortilla aficionados generally claim that it produces an inferior-tasting product, but it is replacing the traditional method because it is cheaper (and partly due to a history of Mexican government policies that supported the change in technique).
Nixtamalization has many health benefits. It can increase calcium by 750%, (or 630% more that is available for absorption). Lastly, nixtamalization significantly reduces (by 90-94%) mycotoxins. Other vital minerals increase as well including iron, copper and zinc which can come from the lime being used and/or absorbed from the vessels being used to make nixtamal. Niacin is made available for digestion which would otherwise be inaccessible with non-processed maize. Another important aspect of this process’ benefit is the significant reduction (90-94%) of the mycotoxins which cause disease in animals and possible carcinoma in humans.
If nixtamal is allowed to ferment, riboflavin, protein, also increase along with amino acids, such as tryptophan and lysine.
Nixtamalization makes niacin nutritionally which eliminates the chance of developing niacin deficiency disease, called pellagra. When corn cultivation was adopted worldwide, this preparation method was not accepted because the benefit was not understood. The Mesoamerican societies that originated corn did not suffer from pellagra despite depending on corn for an estimated 50% of daily protein and 70% of calories still today in rural Mexico. Pellagra became common only when corn became a staple in the old world where it was eaten without the traditional nixtamalization.
Pellagra is a vitamin deficiency disease caused by dietary lack of niacin (vitamin B3) or the essential amino acid tryptophan. Because tryptophan can be converted into niacin, foods with tryptophan but without niacin, such as milk, prevent pellagra. However, if dietary tryptophan is diverted into protein production, niacin deficiency may still result. Tryptophan is an essential amino acid found in meat, poultry, fish, and eggs. If your diet contains these foods, your need for niacin from other sources will be reduced.
The main results of pellagra can easily be remembered as “the four D’s”: diarrhea, dermatitis, dementia, and death.
Pellagra can be common in people who obtain most of their food energy from maize, since unnixtamalized corn is a poor source of both niacin and tryptophan. The symptoms usually appear during spring, increase in the summer due to greater sun exposure, and return the following spring. It is one of several diseases of malnutrition common in Africa. It was also endemic in the poorer states of the U.S. South, like Mississippi and Alabama, as well as among the inmates of jails and orphanages. It was common amongst prisoners of Soviet labor camps, the infamous Gulag and can be found in cases of chronic alcoholism. Nixtamalization corrects the niacin deficiency, and was a common practice in native American cultures that grew corn. The amino acid deficiency can also be balanced by consumption of other sources of protein.
Pellagra was first described in Spain in 1735, but Gaspar Casal, published the first clinical description in Asturia in 1762. This led to the disease being known as “Asturian leprosy”, and it is recognized as the first modern pathological description of any syndrome. It was endemic in northern Italy, where it was named “pelle agra” (pelle = skin; agra = rough) by Francesco Frapoli of Milan. #Redneck Because pellagra outbreaks occurred in regions where maize was a dominant food crop, the belief for centuries was that the maize either carried a toxic substance or was a carrier of disease. It was not until centuries later that medical scientists realized that there is no pellagra in Mesoamerica where maize has always been a major food crop and they realized that pellagra may be caused by other factors.
Overwhelmingly interesting, sir. I look forward to when humanity realigns and reunites with the original ancient, sacred ceremonies and rituals. "Return to Earth Way" - Chief Golden Light Eagle.
Thank you for sharing this information. I'm 64 yrs old and plan to witness this transformation? It is heartwarming to know folks, like yourself and Ayla, already have this knowledge and wisdom needed to share, with the younger ones, and resurrect the smart, healthy way of living as our ancestors lived. Thanks again!

Hi Chuck, got your message about your response being deleted. Whatever is causing it doesn't have a chance against our prayers and love for humanity.
Can I help you with your TikTok? I feel like it's a great platform to get in front of a lot of eyes, especially of the upcoming generations ❤️😊 Your messages are so important!
Thank you
Hi Lyla, I would like to know how to become one of the pilot programs?

Foodsheds seem like a good way forward.
I'm so happy you were bringing animal defecation into this because the pee and poo of animals ads extremely valuable and extremely necessary nutrients and we do not want to prematurely throw the baby out with the bathwater so-to-speak by trying to cast a bad Shadow upon animal farming and production and management in our world because it is very much necessary! For example goats goats can do so much to help mitigate fires in this world and to help graze noxious weeds and prevent over toxification of our waterways do to toxic chemical use!
The future of the past is vast and a critical effort in understanding our world and recovering from the bitter calamity of the past 500+ years of rampant disregard or human ecological intelligence as the swollen conjuncturitis of warring capitalism has claimed intelligence while consistently acting out of systematized terror in the name of false progress.
PERMACULTURE PARADISE PROJECTS AROUND THE WORLD WITH HEMP AND OTHER PRACTICAL ORGANICALLY DIVERSE PLANTS AND ANIMALS
Is there a way we can contact eachother
Bring back PERMACULTURE PARADISE PROJECTS ON PLANET EARTH!!!
Family build your soil and feed mycelium weave the mycelium and it can fetch up nutrients 4 plants and trees! Build the soil and do not disturb it and do not kill everything within it with chemicals! There are way more beneficial insects than there are destructive ones so please do not use the terrible chemicals! Use diatomaceous earth and sulfur for bugs as well as organic neem oil! You can also use this on your favorite pets!

I also thought it would have been better if the powers-that-be would have encouraged people like you and me to learn how to farm the fish appropriately and how to milk the semen and eggs and put them together and propagate them just right and then the population would be out of sight! LOL and what would our ancestors do? They would do it too!
I'm looking forward to listening to this full talk. And before I do I must say that there is no monolithic European clan. That pre-christian cosmology and tradition is just as important to your cellular memory as all the rest, and while I innerstand why you focus more heavily on your North American ancestry more, my heart is heavy hearing you lump that ancestor into a non-existent, homogenized group rather than acknowledge his actual clan/kin folk. 🙏
Ethnocentric bs.
Many capitalize on the racial divide, and yes, the totality is inaccurate. However, there is something to be - on a human level , for bringing back the rites of passage and the sacred nature of the land. The homogenization of the narrative for the purposes of denouncing the European history as purely a “colonizer” is an issue as well. There is much more to the story than one degree of melanin vs another. Ashayana Deane may help with this ... as there was a time where all of our chiefs sat at table ... and this had nothing to do with race as we had access to our DNA template and thus our history
Very well said and one would be the wiser to adopt this way of life , my ancestors did it for many years in the Rocky mountains
