A Celebration of Corn Across the Americas
Students from the Title VI and EL programs, the Anishinaabemowin Native Language class and the Spanish Department celebrated Indigenous Peoples' day with a focus on the importance of corn in the Americas. Students moved through a variety of hands-on activities like grinding corn using Anishinaabek and Mesoamerican grinding instruments, beading, cooking, and reading or playing corn-inspired games. Amanda Weinert was a guest speaker, and she gave a presentation on the importance of corn or maandamin in Anishinaabek cuisine and culture. Mrs. Lyons and Ms. Lewis made enough Three Sisters Soup for to offer to staff at both buildings, and Mrs. Lyons also made a batch of the ever-popular pozole for students and staff to enjoy at the middle high school. Spanish Honor Society members Riley Roberts and Maddyson Towns teamed up with Emma Shelly from the Anishinaabemowin language class to pass out samples to students and staff at lunch. The ears of corn featured below was harvested from the Mino'de Kitigaaning/Happy Heart Garden at the elementary school and was planted and harvested by EJES students.
