Niagara College’s Indigenous Education department is inviting students, faculty and staff to learn about how traditional corn soup is made.
On August 3, Karl Dockstader, NC’s Indigenous Education and Cultural Consultant, will be making his ancestors’ corn soup recipe in the Indigenous Garden at the Daniel J. Patterson Campus. A true labour of love, Dockstader will begin the lengthy cooking process at sunrise, completing the recipe around noon.
This event is rain or shine and registration is not required.
Members of the NC community are invited to stop by the Indigenous Garden at any time to watch the process and learn about what it takes to make this culturally significant recipe – a tradition that has been passed down through multiple generations of Indigenous peoples. Be sure to stick around to enjoy a sampling of this delicious treat (around 12 p.m.).
Note: The corn soup demonstration was originally scheduled on June 29 as part of Indigenous Education’s line up of events celebrating Indigenous History Month.
