It s snack time at Summerside Intermediate School and Grade 8 student Youdin Ledwell-Cox is digging into a piping hot corn cake.
He made it himself in cooking class, with the help of Mi kmaw elder John Doran.
The delicate Mi kmaw treat has been steaming in a boiling pot of water for 40 minutes.
Wrapped in a corn husk, it looks like a small, neat envelope.
The corn cakes are cooked in corn husks and taste kind of … like a potato according to Ledwell-Cox.(Sarah Keaveny Vos)
