Succotash In The Native merican ‘Kitchen’

WASHINGTON — Although one of the best known Native American foods is Succotash, it seems no two people quite agree on what it is or what is in it. Everyone just agrees that it is good and delicious. Succotash and Misickquatash are Wampanoag words meaning corn and beans together.

Dale Carson, an Abenaki author and artist, will demonstrate easy ways to make Succotash as a side dish or with additions to turn it into an entrée during “The Native American Kitchen.”

The workshop will be offered at The Institute for American Indian Studies on Saturday, April 22, from 11 am until 1 pm.

Cost is $12 per person, $10 for members. Also educators may earn .3 CEUs for participating in the workshop. Reservations are advised due to limited seating.

The museum, at 38 Curtis Road, can be contacted by calling 860-868-0518.
