In this third session of the "Strategies for Success in the Time of Climate Change" series, we were joined by Rowen White. Rowen is a Seedkeeper and farmer from the Mohawk community of Akwesasne, and a passionate activist for Indigenous seed and food sovereignty. She is the director and founder of Sierra Seeds, an innovative organic seed stewardship organization focusing on local seed and education, based in Nevada City, CA. Rowen is the Program Coordinator and advisor for the Indigenous Seedkeepers Network, an initiative of the Native American Food Sovereignty Alliance. The mission of the Indigenous Seedkeepers Network is to nourish and assist the growing Seed Sovereignty movement across Turtle Island. Rowen's passion is in teaching and mentoring, and has developed many curricula which focus on holistic, Indigenous permaculture based approaches to seed stewardship which honor the many layers of seed culture; from practical hands-on skills, cultural context, and memory with guiding principles that are rooted in an Indigenous ecology of relations. Rowen weaves stories of seeds, food, culture, and sacred Earth stewardship on her blog, Seed Songs. You can follow Rowen's seed journeys at sierraseeds.org, and learn more about the Indigenous Seedkeepers Network at www.nativefoodalliance.org.
In this webinar, Rowen presents "Indigenous Seedkeeping: Caring for our Three Sisters Seeds". Indigenous seeds are a vibrant and vital foundation for food sovereignty and are the basis for sustainable, healthy agriculture. Seeds are our precious collective inheritance and it is our responsibility to care for the seeds as part of our responsibility to feed and nourish ourselves and future generations. Join us as we talk about the creative and practical ways of re-integrating seed stewardship back into our local communities, and how we can deepen our understanding of the nourishing cycles of life.
