“The
Three Sisters”
by
Toni Truesdale
Corn, bean and squash are
known by many
First Nations as “The Three
Sisters”.
These crops were developed by
indigenous farmers
All over the Americas pre European
contact.
Often grown together in the
farmer’s fields;
They were developed for their
excellent nutrition.
While many varieties have survived
today.
There was more diversity before 1492.
Crops from the Americas transformed
the world
And continue today to save many from
starvation.
