Soup’s on and ready to eat!
Starting today (Tuesday, Oct. 11) Three Sisters Soup, a traditional soup made from corn, beans and squash, will be on the menu at two locations on campus and will include squash grown and harvested from the College’s own Three Sisters Garden.
The Garden, located outside, across from the Connections Bookstore and Savoir Fare, was planted by horticultural students (with the help of some young people from the Early Learning Centre) back in June. Corn, beans and squash seeds were planted in accordance with Haudenosaune traditions. The Sisters symbolize peace, friendship and respect.
The garden was tended to by horticultural students, staff from the Truth, Reconciliation and Indigenization office and volunteers, including Thaddeus Attagutaluk, a welding and fabrication technician student from Iqaluit, who watered the garden all summer.
In addition to the crops, the final phase of the landscaping project was completed in partnership with PCL Construction. Indigenous plants including sumac, birch, cedar and dogwood were added to a dry riverbed that includes ferns and perennials.
