"SPIRIT GRAIN"
FOUNDED HOMES
Growing Corn Made Fixed Habita-
tiOns Necessary for Erstwhlle
Roaming Indians

Corn, or Indian Maize, is credited
by students of Indian legends with
being responsible for the first Amer
lean homes, and also for woman's
first important economic contribu-
ton to society in North America.
Fixed places of habitation near
the fields where the Esprit Grain"
wos planted and cardd for were
necessary, and to these primitive
homes the hunters returned from
their quest of game. /, 1t was here
that the ripened grain was stored
to be dispensed for the family needs
and in hospitality during the winter
months, and the arstwhile rowing
Indians thus became homemakers.
Women planted, cared for and
gathered the grain. This labor was
not compulsory, but was assumed
as a privilege and as rightful
share of responsibility to offset the
continuous labor of men in provid-
ing meats, and skins for clothing
bv the chase. It was also the priv
ilege and duty of Indian women to
prepare corn for food in palatable
and nourishing forms. Hominy and
Succotash are Indian dishes, as are
MANY of the preparations of corn
meal in use today.
To these primitive people. nour-
ishment was the first consideration
and the strongest possible recon-
mendatiOn of the value of corn. the
