Funky folk activist group,  Clan Dyken, playing their self-styled brand of “world rebel music” from California’s Calaveras County is pleased to perform at the Annual Big Mountain Benefit at Seamen’s Lodge, Nevada City.  The Big Mountain Benefit is part of the Beauty Way tour, which  raises funds for the annual Thanksgiving food, firewood and supply run to the Dineh People of Arizona.

Members of the band, and supporters from around the world, travel to the Big Mountain Region of North East Arizona to support the mostly elderly and traditional Dineh-Navajo folks who have been facing forced relocation from ancestral homelands since the passage of the Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act of 1974.   For 17 years, Clan Dyken has actively supported the Dineh by bringing food and supplies, fire wood and labor to the high desert plateau.  The Beauty Way concerts raise funds and awareness of the issue and help to recruit volunteers to make the journey. 
 Big Mountain is a sacred mountain in Northern Arizona inhabited by the Dineh (Navajo) and the Hopi peoples. In the past, the land was lived on side by side by the Hopi and Navajo. In 1974, much of this region was granted to the Hopi tribe by the U.S. Government. This act was called the Navajo-Hopi Land Settlement Act of 1974 and was influenced by Peabody Coal Company, who needed an entity to pay mining royalties to. This act called for the relocation of approximately 10,000 Dineh from all Northern Arizona lands destined to be mined or affected by coal mining. Many people relocated. Some remained on what is now called, “Hopi Partition Lands.” Then, in the year 2000, after a long legal battle, and faced with eminent and forced relocation, some Dineh signed an “Accommodation Agreement.” This agreement allowed the Dineh to live, with conditions, on Hopi Partition Lands. For many, those conditions have been difficult.
 
Currently, only about 100 Dineh families and elders remain in the Big Mountain Area. The Dineh that are left do not receive assistance from the US govt. They primarily live off their sheep, small garden plots, and income sent by family members. They are mostly traditional elders, who speak the native language and maintain the culture with stories, songs, ceremonies and a lifestyle that is tied to the land.  They simply do not want to leave their ancestral homes. The Dineh do not live in villages, like their Hopi neighbors.  They prefer wide open spaces with distance between homesteads.  This makes delivery and visiting with the people important and difficult. The journey is bittersweet, fun, heartfelt hard work with a severe reminder of how our native cultures are disappearing.

Tsi Akim Maidu Chairmen Don Ryburg, uplifting Earth Rhythm Dancers and Drummers, Folk singer George Schroder, Melodic Kimberly Bass, Big Mountain supporter and songwriter, Somer Moon, and an all nations drum group from Chico, Warcry, will join Clan Dyken in this spirited evening of fun, food and dance.

"Nature is intellegent, it speaks in patterns." -Kathy Irving

WILDCRAFTING AND PREPARATION OF ACORNS:

1. Search for oak groves where natives used to harvest. Your local library may have archeology records with viable maps. Such archeological sites will often have mortar holes in the rocks for pestles.
   
2. Shell the acorns : Smash with a small sledge hammer, or a rock.
3. Vitamix : Put the de-hulled acorns in the Vitamix with H20, and grind at high speed till you get a thick, cream-colored consistency.
4. Leach tannins via a slieve : (nut bag, panty hose, painter's sleive) Hold the bag under cool running water for five minutes till the water runs clear. If the meal is not bitter, you have washed it enough. Alt. method #2 : Place nutbag full of acorn meal in a rapid moving river or creek for an hour. Alt. method #3 : Swish nutbag in a bucket of water till the meal is no longer bitter.
   
5. Squeeze out as much water as you can, with your hands.
6. Store meal in freezer, dehydrate, or vaccuum pack in fridge.

Nutrition : Acorns are also rich in nutrients. Percentages vary from species to species, but all acorns contain large amounts of protein, carbohydrates and fats, as well as the minerals calcium, phosphorus and potassium, and the vitamin niacin. Total food energy in an acorn also varies by species, but all compare well with other wild foods and with other nuts.[1]

ACORN KALE CRACKER RECIPE :
Cut : 3 Large Clusters of Fresh Organic Kale
Marinade Mixture : (Blend in Vitamix)
2 cups of Water
2 Lemons
1/4 cup Sesame Oil
5 Large Tomatoes
2 Onions
2 cups of Nutritional Yeast
3 cups of Ground Acorns
2 cups of soaked hulled sunflower seeds (soak at least four hours)
1/2 cup of black sesame seeds
1 ginger root
2 tbl. Curry Power
1 Jalapeno Pepper
2 tbl. Himalayan Sea Salt (substitutions : Miso, Shoyu, or Tamari)

Mix all the ingredients together and spread green goop onto sheets, and place into dehydrator for 24 hours, or until dry I use a Excaliber Dehydrator. This unit has four small rack and comes with screens, and another smooth surfaced sheet. Do not use the screens, as the mixture may stick and create a mess. Seal ingredients in a ziplock bag or air tight bottle, and refrigerate.

Note : Do not overeat
