Indigenous Cooking Demonstration

Join us for a free Indigenous Cooking Demonstration with Rebekah Scott, a descendant of Natchez, Cherokee, and Creek ancestry, and David Comingdeer, a descendant of Cherokee ancestry, on Saturday, July 25, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Grand Village of the Natchez Indians. Scott will give a cooking demonstration on Three Sisters stew and cornbread. Corn, beans, and squash were traditionally grown together in a complementary fashion and used to prepare a variety of dishes. Comingdeer will demonstrate how to make a corn pounder, a traditional wooden hand tool similar to a mortar and pestle, used to crush dried corn into cornmeal or flour.
