Ganondagan's White Corn Virtual Field Trip
Ganondagan's White Corn Project engages with Indigenous and non-Native communities sharing Haudenosaunee culture through hands-on educational programming and events focusing on Indigenous food.
The project's original founder, John Mohawk (Seneca) whose goal it was to encourage Native farmers to stay on their land and continue growing Iroquois White Corn, believed bringing this important Indigenous food back into Haudenosaunee people's daily diets would greatly improve their health and cultural well-being.
In this 40-minute virtual field trip, students taught by members of the Seneca Nation of Indians, will learn about the cultural significance of White Corn and how it is planted, harvested, and processed and used for a variety of dishes.
