“Three Sisters”

Traditional Haudenosaunee Corn Soup

Built around hulled white corn and beans—two of the Three Sisters—the soup is traditionally enriched with meat such as venison or turkey, producing a simple but hearty and nourishing meal.

Succotash

This modern version of Succotash includes tomatoes, onion, bell pepper, and garlic while retaining the corn-and-bean foundation of its Indigenous predecessor.

For centuries, Indigenous peoples throughout much of North America planted corn, beans, and squash together in a remarkable agricultural partnership known as the “Three Sisters.” Together, these three crops also created a hearty, nutritious meal that sustained generations.
