A New Native Seed Cooperative Aims to Rebuild Indigenous Foodways

The Indigenous Seed Growers Network sprouted from the pandemic, and is quickly evolving to help communities secure their own food systems for generations to come. In recent months, the cooperative has hosted a seed census which involves identifying where seeds are located and how much seed supply each community has access to. The second project is a detailed seed sovereignty map of the same communities. The cooperative aims to allow native people to share information, knowledge, and traditional practices as well as seeds.
