What is your tribal connection to ash? This month we'll be looking at the concepts of communal,
lineal, and familial uses of ash and exploring some of the traditional foodways that utilize them.
We'll be learning from the students and teachers of the Dził Ditł'oó School of Empowerment,
Action, and Perseverance (DEAP) how to make gad bit'eesh (juniper ash) and looking at two
recipes using it; tooshchiin (blue corn mush) and bááh dóó klíízh (blue corn ash bread) from our
brother Josh Nez.
Alongside these we'll hear from our friend Sii~xuutesna about the process of making San-chvn
tuu-'i' (Acorn Soup) in her Tolowa Yurok community and how ash plays a part.
And while we won't give away everything we hope you enjoy this offering and let us know what
some of the uses for ash are in your communities!!!
