Our “four sisters” garden showcased Indigenous planting practices, using seeds specific to different Indigenous groups. In 2023, we grew Ponca Blue Corn (Seeds of Resistance), Potawatomi Pole Beans, Mvskoke Pumpkin, Tithonia (Mexican Sunflower), and other Helianthus. The Mvskoke Pumpkin thrived, outgrowing and shading the corn and beans too early for their success. However, we enjoyed a delicious three-sisters stew at the October “Good Way Sunday” event, featuring plenty of Mvskoke Pumpkin!
