Lincoln, Neb. — A unique corn display has attracted attention this summer at the Hastings City Library's new outdoor learning greenspace, located at the corner of North Denver Avenue and West Third Street. The planting features the “Three Sisters”—a combination of sacred corn from the Nebraska Ponca, winter squash, and pole beans—showcasing traditional indigenous agricultural practices while fostering community engagement.
