In Oneida culture, the Three Sisters—the corn, beans, and squash—are revered as sacred plants symbolizing unity, cooperation, and the interconnectedness of life. Each plant plays a vital role in supporting the others: corn provides support for the beans, beans enrich the soil with nitrogen, and squash protects the roots by spreading out. Together, they embody the concept of balance and the strength found in collaboration. The Three Sisters also represent the cycles of life, growth, and abundance, which are central to the agricultural traditions of the Oneida people. This trio is celebrated as a gift from the Creator, ensuring food and prosperity for the community.
