  • Elizabeth and Harold Hinds
    Elizabeth and Harold Hinds Imholte Hall, University of Minnesota-Morris Imholte Hall, Main Floor Walk-in Display Huichol yarn art. This piece depicts a ceiba tree with a bird. Beside it a man shoots a bow and arrow. Other insect- like forms fly about. These hallucinatory images are traditional for the Huicholes, who used peyote to bring on visions. Originally a traditional art form, yarn paintings became popular as tourist art. This piece was purchased at Tlaquepaque, a town just outside of Guadalajara, in the 1970’s. The story on the back reads: Los Huicholes no conocían el maíz en tiempos antiguos. Una vez un niño se enteró de que había gente allende las montañas “que tienen algo que llaman maíz,” y fue en su busaca. En camino se encontró con un grupo de hombres que le dijeron que (h)iba a comprar maíz y el, confiando, les acompañó. Lo que no sabía es que esa gente eran en realidad hormigas (los insectos en esta ilustración). La Gente Hormiga que ro(b)e todo lo que encuentra. Al llegar la madrugada se despertó. Bajo un gran pino y descubrió que le habían roido (robado) toda la ropa, el cabello e inclusive las cejas, y que solamente le quedaban el arco y las flechas. Oyó que un pájaro se pasaba en un árbol, y le apuntó con una flecha, pues tenía hambre. El pájaro le reveló que era Tatey Kukurú Uimári, Nuestra Madre Paloma Muchacha, la Madre del Maíz. Le dijo que siguiera a su casa, donde le daría maíz. Translation: The Huichol people didn’t know about maize in ancient times.

  • Thank You for Purchasing the Hicoup Granite Pestle and Mortar!
    Thank you for purchasing the HiCoup Granite Pestle and Mortar! Congratulations and Welcome to the Family! We would like to thank you for purchasing the HiCoup Granite Mortar and Pestle. It is with great pleasure that we welcome you into the HiCoup Kitchenware family. HiCoup Kitchenware is a new company whose goal is to provide premiere, professional- inspired kitchenware direct to consumers like you. We design and produce our own products and are always adding more professional level kitchenware to our lineup! We would like to congratulate you for your mortar and pestle selection because you now own one of the finest granite mortar and pestle on the market. The HiCoup Mortar and Pestle was built to last and has been made from high quality granite that will serve you well for years to come. The reason why the granite mortar and pestle has not entirely been replaced by modern electric grinders is that it does indeed produce a more delicious paste. Instead of grinding up the fresh herbs and spices with a metal blade, these ingredients are pounded to release and meld all of their natural oils and juices. The metal blade merely cuts the ingredients up and mixes them. But the heavy stone pestle pounds the ingredients in a way that an electric device cannot. In this short guide, you will learn how to season your new mortar and pestle, tips and techniques on how to use your mortar and pestle, and finally how to care and how to properly clean a granite mortar and pestle so that it will provide you with many years of service.

  • La Compañera
    Winter 2015, Issue 2 Latin American Studies Newsletter La Compañera Foro Latinoamericano (Latin American Forum) April 17-18, 2015 MEZCOLANZA: An Exploration of Food, Fusion, and Place in Latin America. Food is no longer about nutrition or flavor; today food is about sustainability, resilience, identity, creativity and opportunity. Latin America seems to be taking center stage in this movement and the cuisines of countries like Peru and Mexico are making headlines in gourmet magazines, and being touted as the way to bring culturally sensitive sustainable development to rural farmers and small business owners. In the United States the Latin American diaspora is also asserting itself in new ways and actively using food as a way to rearticulate place, memory and identity in their new homelands. This year the Foro Latinoamericano plans to explore food movements among Latin Americans living in their ancestral lands or in the diaspora. The foro will bring experts to discuss some of the most innovative, unexpected, and even controversial ways in which food is being articulated, performed and enacted in contemporary Latin America. We hope that in the process we will find answers to the following Questions: Why does food elicit the support of such a wide range of people, from farmers, to chefs, to consumers? Are food movements in Latin America delivering sustainability and progress? What are some of the challenges and opportunities encountered? And finally what does the new food movement say about what it is to be Latin American at home and abroad?6 Virginia Nazarea is a renowned ecological anthropologist that has published widely on the connections between culture, memory, and biodiversity.
