Hominy workshop

  • Noojimo'waaning 3524 East Ferry Street Detroit, MI, 48211 United States (map)

Join Anishinaabe cultural worker and Flicker Exchange co-founder Hadassah Greensky (LTBB Odawa) as we process last year’s corn harvest into nixtamal through a process simply called nixtamalization. This version of nixtamalization is a natural alkaline treatment process by which Eastern Woodland tribes have made corn edible and produced hominy for thousands of years.

The workshop will conclude with a sampling of the corn in the form of a traditional corn soup prepared by the Noojimo’waning staff!


Feel free to contact Hadassah if you would like to process your own corn ahead of time – the corn processed in the workshop will be kept for use in Flicker Exchange’s future community programming. 

Contact 1(248) 639-8810 if you would like to process your own corn
