Walter P. Reuther celebrates A Meal in the Life in November by preparing a warm delicious Three Sisters Soup as well as Navajo Beef Fry Bread. Along with this incredible meal, dining services shared a story that has been passed down through generations in Native American History about the origin of the Three Sisters Soup. It is said that Native Americans planted three types of seeds in each mound, corn, bean, and squash. The corn stalk gives something for the beans to climb. The beans take nitrogen from the air and put it in the ground for the corn and squash. The squash growing around the mound prevent weeds and preserves the moisture of all three plants. All three work together and are able to be more and do more then they could if they were by themselves. This story highlights teamwork and what we can accomplish as a team versus on our own. Both residents and the dining services team enjoyed a great taste of Native American Culture.
