New Native American Cook Book
Red Lake students to launch cookbook
Molly Miron Bemidji Pioneer
Published Friday, March 07, 2008
When the Red Lake High School shootings brought tragedy to the community three years ago, many individuals and organizations sought ways to help the students and their families.
The members of General Mills’ American Indian Council, a group of employees with American Indian heritage from tribes around the country, donated $20,000 for a student project. The GMAIC members traveled to Red Lake to work with the students, and the result is “The Taste of Red Lake Cookbook.”
“The cookbook is a positive symbol of the Red Lake Nation, and it teaches other communities about traditional food from Red Lake,” said junior Rob Pemberton Jr. “It was fun for our entire school.”
The first printing of 1,800 books, donated by Xerox Corp., will be released Monday during the morning assembly at Red Lake High School. The books feature 120 pages of both traditional and contemporary recipes the students collected from their families and friends, along with nutritional information such as calories per serving and cholesterol ratings. General Mills gave the students a camera so they could illustrate the book with scenes from the reservation. Students also contributed art work and stories for the book. The book is designed with a spiral binding and card stock pages and section dividers.
The books will sell for $10 and will be available from the school. Cookbooks can also be ordered via e-mail at tasteofredlake@redlake.k12.mn.us. Orders also can be placed by phone at 218-679-3353; fax, 218-679-2321; or via mail at Taste of Red Lake Cookbook, c/o Red Lake High School, P.O. Box 499, Red Lake, MN, 56671.
The students decided to divide the profits in thirds for a community picnic, five $1,000 scholarships and school improvements such as art or equipment, according to Michael Meuers who works in media relations for Red Lake.
Meuers said he envisions successive classes of students producing a new cookbook every few years. Sheffield said the GMAIC members wanted to teach business skills and empower the students. She said the cookbook is a celebration of culture from the students. “It was they who were the key decision-makers, artists, contributors and writers of this cookbook,” she said. “You will see pride written, photographed and drawn within these pages.” She also expressed appreciation for the school staff, community members and volunteers who helped with the project.
