“This retreat is called Maize because what is more Iowan than Corn? Maize (/ ˈ me ɪ z/ MAYZ; Zea mays subsp. mays, from Spanish: maíz after Taíno mahiz), is known in English as corn. Maize was the staple food of most of the pre-Columbian North American, Mesoamerican, South American, and Caribbean Indigenous cultures. For example, many Mesoamerican legends share that humans were created from maize. The symbolism of Corn/Maize will be used throughout the retreat to represent the coming together of Native American, Latino and Iowan traditions, aspirations and cultures”
