Reporter Candace Maracle participated in the community corn harvest. Every part of the corn is used by Haudenosaunee.
Reporter Candace Maracle participated in Six Nations's community corn harvest last weekend. This past weekend, I joined Six Nations community members to harvest corn and prepare it for winter storage.
It's about "having people come out, being together, laughing together, working together, learning something new, learning something old," Arli Harrison told me over a bowl of corn soup and scone. The corn harvest is the last traditional food harvest of the year. The growth of the corn determines when Longhouse ceremonies are held. There are two times when the corn is acknowledged in the Longhouse: Small Green Corn, when early vegetables and fruits are harvested, and Big Green Corn, which culminates the fall harvest, the final ceremony of the year.
Then we cleaned the corn of its husk and any bad kernels before it is braided. I'm told to leave only three husks on for the braids — any more than that and my braid will be too loose and bulky.The long sturdy braids must then be hung to dry for the year. Traditionally, they were hung in the Longhouse to dry. The best corn kernels are saved to be planted the following year.
"The young people, they're asking for their language, they're asking how to garden, how to pick the corn, how to lye the corn, how to make mush," said Martin.
