No kidding. It comes right after Thanksgiving, get it?
In celebration, the National Museum of the American Indian features three days of performances and special events, today through Sunday, November 29. The theme is maize, or corn--"the lifeblood of many indigenous peoples across the hemisphere. The histories of many cultures are deeply connected to corn, and origin stories often reference corn as the material from which people are made, or as the first food used to nourish the people. The program includes food demonstrations, artisans, and hands-on activities for families and young visitors."

Maize in the Americas
A nice thing to do on the Mall, if the weather holds up.
