Salt Uncomplicated and satisfying, this recipe for anasazi beans is from Deborah Madison's "The Savory Way." You can find juniper berries in the spice section of specialty food markets. Sort through the beans, rinse them well, cover them with cold water, and set them aside for six hours or overnight. (Or use the quick-soaking method.) Bruise the seeds and berries in a mortar, and chop the onion into small squares. Warm the oil in a wide-bottomed soup pot; add the onions, coriander seeds, juniper berries, chile and oregano. Cook together over medium heat for 3 or 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Drain the beans and add them to the pot along with the fresh water. Bring to a boil; then lower the heat and simmer for 40 minutes. Add salt to taste and continue cooking until the beans are as tender as you like them ~ probably another 30 minutes or so. When done, check the seasoning. Serve the beans in a bowl with the broth. Suggestion: There are lots of tasty additions you can use - cilantro, mint, scallions, sour cream, cheese and so on. But try the beans plain first.

Archaic and Basketmaker People of New Mexico
Beginning perhaps around 8,800 years ago, people in the American Southwest – El Norte Mexicano region responded to changes in climate. These changes are categorized into a set of eras known as Basketmaker eras that are so named after how the people used plant fibers to make their household goods and articles of clothing. They become the Anasazi and Mogollon, ancestors to the Pueblo Indians.

Native American (Navajo) Medicinal, Nutritional, & Utilitarian Use of Pine Tree
There are many different types of pine trees. For our Navajo people these trees are special.
They have medicinal purposes.
The pine nuts provide food. In fact some say our Diné that hid during the war... lived off of pine nuts.
The pine is also used for utility like the cradleboard.
Our people also use the pine tree in some of our traditional structures. Navajo Historian, Wally Brown, briefly shares about the Pine tree in this video.
Enjoy!
