Indigenous American Cropping Systems
Wednesday, April 26, 6:30-8:30pm
@ CCE-Tompkins, 615 Willow Avenue, Ithaca
The Three Sisters - winter squash, maize and climbing beans - are the main
agricultural crops of various Native American groups, particularly the
Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) of the Finger Lakes region. Indigenous farmers in the
northeast have been growing these crops for hundreds of years, and continue to
do so today. Jane Mt. Pleasant (Tuscarora), Associate Professor in Horticulture
and affiliated with the American Indian and Indigenous Studies program at
Cornell University, will give a presentation about Haudenosaunee agriculture,
knowledge and the productivity of indigenous cropping systems.
Cost: $5-$10/person self-determined sliding scale
