Strive for healthy choices. Keep your hands busy by taking the time to learn a new art form such as twining corn husk.
“Corn husk is something that is natural and comes from the earth. It becomes medicinal when working with com husk and brings a sense of peace when working with it. Working with corn husk also brings people together where language, culture and history is passed on orally. That being said, working with corn husk is not only a revitalization of weaving, however it brings our culture alive in its truest form” —Frazer Sundown, Oneida Nation.
