The Three Sisters

Celebrate El día de los niños/El día de los libros

Celebrate El día de los niños/El día de los libros (Children's Day/Book Day) with Alicia Retes' storytelling performance inspired by Indigenous Peoples legends across the Americas.

Inspired by many legends of The Three Sisters - Corn, Bean and Squash, this story and music adaptation by Alicia Retes includes colorful corn husk characters who reveal their origins in the Americas. The Plant Sisters engage the audience to share their dreams, trials and tribulations of independence, respect, cooperation and community service. The Three Sisters lead the way to other companion plants, like Tomato and Cilantro. Companion Plants teach respect, cooperation, peaceful relations, diversity and the Indigenous traditional art of permaculture. Over 60 foods worldwide originate from Indigenous Peoples of the Americas from chocolate to potatoes and more! 

Alicia Retes is a captivating storyteller with over 20 years presenting entertaining and educational programs of natural history and Indigenous cultural narratives and original songs.
