Indigenous American Cropping Systems

Wednesday, April 26, 2017, 6:30 PM - 8:30 PM

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.
