30 The Three Sisters There are many different stories about who the Three Sisters are and what they did for our people. However, all stories share how the Three Sisters saved the Native Americans from starvation. Here is one version of the story from the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois): The first man and woman created by the Great Spirit were happy with their lives on the newly formed Earth. However, they discovered that they were hungry and could not find anything to eat. The woman cried out to the Great Spirit Oh Great Spirit! We are hungry and cannot find any food. Please help us! The man noticed the mound of soil they were standing near. Three women rose out of the soil as if they grew there. The man and woman watched and listened to the mysterious women. The tallest and oldest woman had silk strings for hair, the beads of her dress were golden yellow, and she wrapped herself in a green, leafy coat. She said to them Greetings! I am Sister Corn. Eat what I grow for you and you will stand strong. The second woman was much smaller and thinner. With her beaded jewelry dangling, she held on to Sister Corn s waist in order to stand up. I am Sister Bean. Sister Corn helps me stand up to see the sun. My feet will keep the soil healthy. Eat what I grow for you and you won t be hungry. Fall Lesson 10 Grade 3 28

31 The third woman lay on the ground. She was rounder than the other two women and she had on an orange dress. Her big leafy hair covered the ground around Sister Corn and Sister Bean s feet. I am Sister Squash. My leafy hair protects my sisters feet from weeds and animals. Eat what I grow for you and share us with your children. The man and woman were delighted for the help the Great Spirit had sent them. The man asked What are we to do when your fruits have all been picked? Sister Corn replied Give thanks to us when you pick our fruits. Give thanks to us when you plant our seeds in the soil mound again. Take care of us as we return to you again. The three sisters, Corn, Bean, and Squash, changed from their human forms into healthy green plants. Sister Corn s stalk was tall and strong. Sister Bean s vines wrapped around Sister Corn s stalk. Sister Squash s big leaves covered the ground. The man and woman did what the sisters told them to do. At every planting and harvest, the man, woman, and their children gave thanks to the three sisters and the Great Spirit. They celebrated the first signs of plants growing. They took joy in caring for the plants. And they celebrated the harvesting of their fruits for ages to come. Fall Lesson 10 Grade 3 29
