Celebrate the harvest season with the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and explore the important connections between corn, beans, and squash and Haudenosaunee culture.

Children and families will learn how these three plants grow together and support one another—and the lessons they can teach us about balance, caring for the Earth, and community.
