Shadowbox: O:nenhste - Corn! Its got the juice

Haudenosaunee believe corn isn't just a crop. It's a part of the Three Sisters, which also includes beans and squash. Besides being the agricultural staples, Haudenosaunee legend says people need to acknowledge the Three Sisters as relatives and include them in ceremonies.

Corn was more than just a side dish to the Haudenosaunee people. Every single part of the corn was used in some way, the husks were braided and woven into baskets and dolls, the kernels were the main source of calcium in their diet, and the stalk itself was the protector for the beans that grew.
