youd be very proud ,,she is beautiful lady ,,id give anything to have a grandmother like her in my life ,,my grandfather was american indian but he died wen i was about 4 yrs old ,,god bless you Rachel
@@juerettahall200; I had a great grandfather of the Cherokee, his last name was Russell. I never got to meet him. He lived in Texas, I was born in Oklahoma. I wished I knew more of my heritage.
What an amazing human being the golden generation that was full of respect and appreciation for nature and everything surrounding it. Lots of respect to you lady I hope you live many many more years in health and happiness. We appreciate you
It doesn't matter if they are american indian, black, hispanic or asian. There is just no substitute for a grandma. Mine died thirty years ago and I still miss her AND her cooking!
This made me cry . i am Indian . my grandparents didn't love my brother and I because we are mixed with black. I wish i had that kind of love from my family. This is beautiful.
Todd Porter this is true but unfortunately i had cancer and cant have children. Maybe in the next life things will be better.. Thank you for your kind words!
Gloria King ,. Hi Gloria that's sad it broke my heart when I read your comment about how you were treated. So sorry for you that you were treated like that.. YES GOD LOVES YOU..
my mother is cherokee and my dad is white but my mother side love us but my dad side did not my dad not want us kids he call us half breed still today he treat me and sisters and brothers bad but i not let it get to me no more you have to live life and find others that will love you for who you are Gloria King
I am black and it surprises me how similar she is to my grandmother. She looked like she made collard greens, red beans and rice, fried catfish, stream beans and potato stew, and cornbread. Even my grandma had her own garden, and just as much sas and realness she has. Crazy 😳
Same with my grandma. Saddly my grandma doesn't have her graden anymore. She is old now ( altough she doesn't look that old) and can't take care of it anymore.
@@charlieharjo5268 Maybe it's a typo of "string beans." i.e. green beans that you prepare by getting rid of the tough tips and stringy vein running down the pod. It's a common name in the US South.
Maybe 🤔 you should do a video of your grandma's catfish! 🤤 Hi 🙋im Denise a Native American from a small village in Arizona, i ♥ fish, jst don't know how to prepare it 🤷
I just had to smile. I'm from the mountains of East Tennessee and everything about this video reminded me of my grandmothers on both sides of my family. Same dishes even! An older Corelle pattern of dishes. My grandmother has the same exact set, including the amber colored glasses and stainless steel utensils. We fried bread the same way, collected food from nature the same way. Honestly, I never knew much about how the people have adapted to Oklahoma. I'm now living in Cheyenne, WY and I can say everything is absolutely different. The mountains are not the same, the vegetation is not the same, the animals are not the same, and I feel a bit like a fish out of water. But, I have figured out how to grow a garden in Cheyenne. I've been here 3 years now.
Would like some ideas from you. I have lived here in Wyoming for many years. My family think I am crazy to do any gardening. I did a small garden last year. It produced a little but I am expanding this next year with more native plants. Any ideas would be appreciated. Tia
I have a picture of my great grandmother way back... full Cherokee. I'm very proud of them. my mother's mother came every spring and her and I would go out to cut wild greens.. creesies , sourdock, dandelion, lambs quarter,but my favorite was Polk. I love this with corn bread. a way of life that is very interesting to me.
She cooks & sets table like my grandmother & looks *exactly* like at least 5 of my close ancestors, both by blood & one by marriage, here in Western North Carolina mountains :)
I love that the tradition of cooking is being passed down to the younger generation and the family seems so close and loving, what a blessing your mother is.❣️🙏🏼❣️
It's so wonderful that interest in older relatives is being preserved, our country is so youth centered. It's nice to see. Cooking and grandmas are something of great value.
I miss my grandma and her teachings. So many times I have worked I'd have recorded all my grandma taught me so I could look back on it with my eyes. She was so full of knowledge.
Reminds me of Sunday lunches with my late grandmother when I was young. I'm part Cherokee. She was full blooded Cherokee. How I miss those good times....
My great grandmother was a proud Cherokee woman. When I would go to visit her, she always gave me a penny before leaving. Her eyes were so kind and loving. Those memories are dear.
This was such a heartwarming video! Had to watch the entire thing almost felt like I was home. Thank you for taking the time❤ Thank you for passing on tradition , thank you for sharing your recipes. We're having such a kind soul. Peace be with you ❤
Thats how my Grandma cooked too. You are so blessed to have such a large family to pass your knowledge to. My best days when i was young were at Grandmas, in the garden, in the kitchen, on the farm.😊🙏 Bless you for sharing!! Peace!
She is beautiful! Look how healthy she looks, and how few wrinkles she has. And her smile is precious. Thank you for this video. Blessings to all who watch it.
Betty Jo Smith thank you, for carrying on these important knowledge, I believe in natural ways to, my Mom taught me all kinds of plants that were healthy to eat, or medicines, you are still a beautiful woman, Aho
My grandma died when I was 13. We used to make dumplings together. I couldn’t remember how to make them. You are so lucky to have her in your life ❤️❤️
I'm not native from the continent but I feel very connected to my Taíno roots thanks to my mom. She taught me how to fish and make my own arepas which is just like your fried bread. We make them from wheat flour or corn. I'm trying to learn the language but a lot of words are lost.
My father was Cherokee, he was Mack Canupp. I didn't know until everyone was gone so couldn't find out anything about my heritage. I would have been so proud to know the history of the family.
We maybe coming to a time where we will learn to eat off the land. This video helps one to remember their fathers past. Being Cherokee on dad's side, I respect what he taught me. He taught me to be a survivor like him. He was red skin and always tanned. He's passed now.
my ancestors were from yadkin and Surry co. Cherokee descent but can't find records. they came to my home state in 1870. I also have Cherokee on my moms side. I am dark completed, dark course hair and brown eyes. can definitely see my Cherokee blood. but my great grandma said our native secrets were left in the mountains when they came here on foot with a wagon train. Ggggreat Grandpa Dinkins passed away shortly after they came here and he left behind his wife and about a dozen children. I would love to learn my Cherokee heritage. don't know how I can find out their names etc but want to definitely learn more about their culture.
I love the elders and listening to their stories of perseverance and courage. I loved listening to my Grandma Mimi and I miss her every day. I was so blessed to know her.
How wonderful! I hope this family keeps recording and leaving these videos for future generations. I wish we had these when my great grand mother was still alive.
My Great Grandmother and Grandmother were like this lady. She reminds me of them. I enjoyed watching her in this video. My Great Grandmother told me that on her 2nd Great Grandmother was Cherokee. I am still working on my family tree. It might take a very long to do. Thank you to whom ever made this video. I really enjoyed watching it.
I'm so part cherokee Indian also my great grandmother was %100 cherokee my mom has the red under tone and Sandy hair. I wish I could learn more about them and possibly meet some distant family that is still strong in the heritage.
Some of those companies that do your DNA can give you info on ppl who are closely related to you, who have also sent their DNA in. Could be a start to find relatives.
If your mom had sandy hair she’s probably more white than Native. The Cherokee and Irish were close and the Irish were usually adopted by the Cherokee as friends and cousins. JS
My folks came out of the Cookson Hills close to Nicut in East central Oklahoma in the 1920s. Watching this video makes me hungry. I am glad Mrs Smith has carried these traditions on.
Wow we eat some of these same foods in my Family here in Seattle! My Gramma grew up in Oklahoma, and when she settled here with my Grandfather, she brought with her the foods that she thought might not grow here, so I grew up eating pokesalit, and cress, among other things, like deer, elk, all that good stuff from the land! I learned from not only my parents but My Grandparents the values of my heritage and living off the land, and the goodness of caring for it!
What a beautiful video. My Mom and my Grandma are gone, so I must say i got a little choked up during that lovely family meal scene with the table full of food. Reminded me just how much I miss that. Thank you for sharing.
I love Polk Salad and eggs! My Mom use to make it in season and I'm about to pick some young and tender this week. Remember to avoid the stalk - it is Toxic/Poison. I make Ham and Dumplings - from Hambone and bone meat, Mom made this and it's so good!
Thank you ladies for sharing this with us! I tell you what....l can ALMOST. smell your scrumptious food cookin now...!! Uh ohhhh.....now my bellys' starting to growl....HUNGRY I AM!! Thanks for sharing your time with us! Peace to All...⚘💜⚘ !
Was really enjoying this video, and then I got shocked into a blast from the past. I grew up eating off of plates that looked exactly like hers. My mom had those exact same plates and bowls.
Best looking meal. Looks like my Mama's cooking. God how I miss her. Her Great grandma was full blooded Cherokee and had to enroll in Georgia because the enrollment I Nc was full.
Just had to subscribed when I saw the title. My father's father was inactive American and I did an internship on the Cherolee Ondian Reservation...and let me tell you these people are some of the best cooks. Don't miss put on this treasure. Thank you Grandma for sharing your knowledge.
My Granny made poke sallet or salad, she would often put a little salted pork in it to give it a little more flavor. Thank you Mrs. Smith, I pictured my Granny trying to teach life lessons every time I watch Osiyo TV
Poke has so much poison in it. That's why you pour the first boiled water off. That's why you put eggs or plenty of salty pork grease in it. That's why if you don't know how to fix it you better let someone that does.
Such a sweet family...its the one thing I grew up without....brings a tear to my eye to see not only recipes being past down but love. Best to all your family.
made me tear and I am Finnish! The white Indians - you know, its weird, after all these years, despite wars, we have learned to respect native American Indians who welcomed and baby fed the settlers - they taught them how to eat - and I am glad then as now, these tribes are respected and appreciated - thank you.
Jayson Williams ... barely... this is a cool conversation for another time. Look up “NO DAPL” and see how native Americans are being respected this day in age.
So glad you have someone to show you what and how. Sur hope she's still alive and you learn all you can from her. She is a treasure please treat her as such as she holds valuable information to be shared🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹👍👍👍👍👍
Osiyo from Marietta GA! This is a Heartbreaking Video, reminding me of Mother's work in the Kitchen, making Kanuchi, grape dumplings and her Bread. Mother went Heavenward in 1995..and I miss her and the Delicious Food she made. Osda.
My great great grandparents on my father's side were Cherokee. I never knew them. My great grandmother and Grandmother were very beautiful . I miss them. I have always been very curious about their history. I'm very proud of them. Thanks for sharing this wonderful heritage.
Wonderful video! Thanks for sharing! My mother cooked just like this, and so do I. My children still talk about their favorite foods growing up. Love that polk salad! I’m blessed to see this
What a beautiful video and learn all you can from grandmother there are no more like them she’s cooking like my folks did and we are part native Americans. I don’t have the language I wish I did I’d teach to my grandchildren!
I'm of Cherokee, my grandma was full blooded. I sure do miss her cookin. Thanks for sharing a lovely story. It's Sunday morn here and I can still see her in the kitchen makin pies and ham and redeye gravy n grits and cats head (that's the size of them and what they called them!)biscuits with cane syrup! MMMM... The aroma!
Loving video, I wish she could of talked more about what plants she was eating. I enjoy the older ways and wild edibles and medical plants, I can only imagine her knowledge on these things.❤️
Yes, I'd like to know what the first leaves were. I don't trust myself to pick the right type !! So, I'd do more research so I don't poison my self. lol
As I watched it transported me back 60 yrs ago to my youth and family/extended family I felt as though i was in that kitchen and "in the way of the cooking". I kept waiting to hear "pull up a chair!" Lumberton NC
I really enjoyed watching!! Such a sweet grandma, and what a blessing that she was able to pass on her traditions and wisdom! That is priceless information, and it should be passed from one generation to the next generation.
that's my grandma. I love you grandma
I love your grand mother too :)
Is Rex doing good? I worked with him back in the day.
Rachel Garner is she from the Cherokee reservation?? I have a great grandfather who was a Cherokee with the last name Smith. I’m curious..

Poke salad.

Do your ancestry DNA. Maybe you are Cherokee.
Being adopted means that is your heritage as well,
regardless of DNA.

What a beautiful video and learn all you can from grandmother there are no more like them she’s cooking like my folks did and we are part native Americans. I don’t have the language I wish I did I’d teach to my grandchildren!

sherry morris are you in Texas Oklahoma area? This is my childhood in a post!!
That's my Grandma, ...too I wonder how many countless others. Bless you for telling the your story.
Loving video, I wish she could of talked more about what plants she was eating. I enjoy the older ways and wild edibles and medical plants, I can only imagine her knowledge on these things.❤️
Yes, I'd like to know what the first leaves were. I don't trust myself to pick the right type !! So, I'd do more research so I don't poison my self. lol
That there is some real great food cooked with pure hands. Look delish
Grandma-you are the greatest,well 👍 done
She is just precious! She reminds me so much of my late grandma Winnie Jewel. She was from the Lumpkins
As I watched it transported me back 60 yrs ago to my youth and family/extended family
I felt as though i was in that kitchen and "in the way of the cooking".
I kept waiting to hear "pull up a chair!"

I really enjoyed watching!! Such a sweet grandma, and what a blessing that she was able to pass on her traditions and wisdom! That is priceless information, and it should be passed from one generation to the next generation.
