The Three Sisters Story - Modern day agriculturists know it as the genius of the Indians, who interplanted pole beans and squash with corn, using the strength of the sturdy corn stalks to support the twining beans and the shade of the spreading squash vines to trap moisture for the growing crop.
To Native Americans, however, the meaning of the Three Sisters runs deep into the physical and spiritual well-being of their people.
Many an Indian legend has been woven around the "Three Sisters" -sisters who would never be apart from one another- sisters who should be planted together, eaten together and celebrated together.

To the Iroquois people, corn, beans, and squash are the Three Sisters, the physical and spiritual sustainers of life.

Iroquois women mixed their crops, using a system called "interplanting." Two or three weeks after the corn was planted, the women returned to plant bean seeds in the same hills.

People have been drinking the curative water from these springs since before there was a lake here, and even today mineral water pilgrims fill bottles and jugs from Three Sisters and carefully number the jugs so that they'll know which spring filled which jug.
I could not distinguish the three springs by taste, and they all precipitated a coppery orange flock in their respective troughs; so it's possible all three springs gush from the same aquifer.
Nevertheless, by custom the three different waters are taken for three different sets of complaints, and here they are.

 The Three Sisters
In this case, I mean an arresting new interpretation of Anton Chekhov's "The Three Sisters," the tale about three cultured women who dream in vain of returning to Moscow while the backwater burg they live in is being vacated by an army garrison, the town's only source of entertainment.
Almost everyone here - the three sisters and all of the other family members, visitors and hangers-on - is caught in that vicious downward spiral that is otherwise known as life.
Looming in the back are the bare trees of an orchard, apparently a hint that the logical extension of "The Three Sisters" is "The Cherry Orchard," Chekhov's next and final great play in which a family loses its grip on past glories and is driven out of its house altogether.

 The Three Sisters
Corn, beans and squash, The Three Sisters, were the principal crops of the Iroquois and other Native American groups in the northeastern United States, at the time Europeans arrived here about 1600.
Cultivation of crops, gradually brought about a change in the Iroquois' way of life from hunting and gathering their sustenance in the woodlands, to cultivating crops in fields created by clearing patches of woodland.
However, the Iroquois had cultivated plants native to the Northeast long before the 'Three Sisters' became the basis of their economy.

 The ‘three sisters’, by Marc Laimé
THREE of the four leading world water companies are French: Veolia, formerly Vivendi, is an offshoot of the Générale des Eaux, founded in 1853; Ondeo is a subsidiary of Suez-Lyonnaise, founded in 1880; and Saur belonged to the Bouygues group until November 2004 (1).
The three sisters control 40% of the global private-sector water market in more than 100 countries.
Their only real competitor holds third position globally: RWE, the German energy giant, and its British subsidiary Thames Water, have managed to gain a foothold in the US market through their acquisition of the national leader, American Water Works.
