Purpose Statement From the Oneida tradition, Beans (Osah#hta), Corn (O’n^ste) and Squash (Onu>uhsla>k%) are planted in one hill and known as The Three Sisters (Ahs< na=tckutahnu=tele). Ahs< na=tckutahnu=tele are grown together and are called the True Sustenance because they provide abundant, nutritious food for each other, students, families and for our whole community. The spirits of Osahe=ta, On<ste, and Onu=uhsla=ko shade, nourish, and protect each other unconditionally with their leaves, roots, and stalks. Relating the values of complementary beauty and strong loyalty, the story of Ahs< na=tckutahnu=tele teaches us the importance of supporting each other so that we thrive as individuals, together in community, and for the generations that follow.
