hold a workshop on preparing acorns as a food source in Mount Shasta
Nov. 4. Shasta Native American Tribe member Mary Carpelin will present a
workshop in leaching and cooking with acorns Nov. 4 from 9 a.m. to noon
at the Eskaton Manor recreation room in Mount Shasta.
The event is free, but donations are welcomed for Carpelin's travel,
time and effort. Eskaton is located at 1020 Kingston Road.
APPLE-Shasta, a project of Mount Shasta Bioregional Ecology Center, is
organizing the workshop to raise awareness and develop the know-how to
make use of a nutritious local food source. Carpelin said she
learned to prepare and cook with acorns, a high protein and locally
available food source, from her mother.
Carpelin is an author, artist and basket weaver. She has retold and
illustrated a children's book, Coyote Fights the Sun, a Shasta Indian
story. She also makes traditional Shasta baskets for a variety of uses
such as acorn leaching, gathering and carrying a baby.
Carpelin has been painting with acrylics for the past five years. She
paints a variety of subjects with an underlying Shasta Indian motif such
as a landscape with a basket design on the sides. She also makes
presentations to schools about American Indian custom and culture.
Carpelin was born in Yreka but grew up in Quartz Valley. She has
returned to Yreka where she has lived over 25 years.
The workshop will work in groups. Bringing acorns is not required, but
it is appreciated. It's also requested that participants bring
something to grind the acorns with such as a food processor or mortar
and pestle.
