Hello- I was wondering if anyone can tell me (or direct me to a site) what were the agricultural rituals of women as the tenders of the fields in the Iroquoian nation. I need to know how women went about planting the three sisters for a poster project that I am doing for a class. Did they perform ceremonies, prayed, danced, did they have a distinctive method?? I have been looking everywhere but I found only blurbs about generalized Native American agricultural rituals. If anyone can please answer me I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you, Yaritza
