Join Sinking Spring Public Library for a look at the food and harvest traditions of Native peoples of the Eastern Woodlands. The program covers autumn harvest practices and the significance of the Three Sisters, corn, beans and squash, and the part these crops have played in Native culture.

The group also prepares a Three Sisters salad together, and samples are available to taste. The session runs on a Thursday evening and is open to adults and teens 14 and older.

Please register ahead of time so the library knows how many people to expect. You can call the library at 610-678-4311 or sign up in person.
