Please join us as we welcome the Three Sisters (corn, beans and squash) back to their home on Mi'kma'ki territory. John Doran, Indigenous scholar at UPEI, has obtained pre-contact seeds and has grown Mi'kmaq Flint Corn on the Sweet Clover Farm in Valleyfield.

These crops were an important part of the Mi'kmaq diet and we even had songs and dances about corn. Unfortunately, as part of the colonization agenda, these crops have not been grown here since before 1870.

On Sunday, July 9, 2017, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at 54 Settlement Road (at the corner of the Valleyfield and Settlement roads, near Montague) everyone is welcome to come out and learn about the cultural significance and history of these crops—join us as we welcome the Three Sisters back to their territory, where they have been loved and grown since time immemorial.

Hosted by Mi'kmaq Iga'taqan - Three Sisters Teaching and Knowledge Garden, there will be bannock, jam, and a fresh strawberry beverage served for everyone to enjoy!
