The making of traditional corn soup is knowledge that has been passed down through multiple generations of the Six Nations of the Grand River in Ontario.

For Karl Docksteader, making the soup represents a chance for his old life as a Red Seal Chef and new life as a community leader to come together.

He, along with Edgar Ahosenae, a knowledge keeper, work together to create this soup using the traditional methods.

As we learn about the soup and how it’s made, we also learn about how the process is deeply rooted in the culture. From the way the corn is harvested, to the way hardwood ashes are used as part of the process, to the way the soup is distributed to the elders of the community as an acknowledgement of the work they do. All from a humble bowl of corn soup.

Does the process of adding ash( hardwood essential?) And removing the skins, create hominy? Food is such a great way of bringing people together! As a nonnative, I'm drawn to your way of life, foods, traditions, stories. The true community! Your keeper of traditions, when I am home who will know our history? 😢 our younger generation have no desire to learn and keep and share what we could pass on
I'm sad. My garden is my greatest joy. The connection to mother earth. This video is amazing, it all started,for me, on a web site rezzy recipes, a " family" member posted a picture and comment,or their corn stew (is there a difference between the soup and stew?) It made me wonder, so googled it and the creator sent the video to my attention!!! Funny, in an old unused garden area ( I'm old 76 , I plant in containers, easier on bones, knees, back) long after usual planting season( here in CT) I have about 5 areas that volunteer corn has grown!!! There are actual ears with the silk!!! I'm hoping to be fortunate enough to harvest,at least one ear!? But if not, it's been a delight, to see nature at work! WOTA. Peace and blessings 🙏 to my extended "family"💯👍😋❤️🥰

Do they use the ashes as a Lye as in soap making also years ago? Soup looks lovely ❤

Beautiful and very interesting!
It's amazing that nixtamalization is still almost unknown here in europe or africa.

Is it flour corn or flint corn that they use for this soup?
