We have performed the first global QCD analysis to include the CCFR and NuTeV dimuon data, which provide direct constraints on the strange and antistrange parton distributions, s(x) and . To explore the strangeness sector, we adopt a general parametrization of the non-perturbative functions satisfying basic QCD requirements. We find that the strangeness asymmetry, as represented by the momentum integral , is sensitive to the dimuon data provided the theoretical QCD constraints are enforced. We use the Lagrange multiplier method to probe the quality of the global fit as a function of [S -] and find -0.001 < [S -] < 0.004. Representative parton distribution sets spanning this range are given. Comparisons with previous work are made.
