Sierra Seeds

Sierra Seeds is a project that cultivates intimacy with the earth and ancestral food traditions through medicinal storytelling on seed songs and seed rematriation in innovative, grounding, rich fertile, nourishing learning circles. Read about seed rematriation on their blog. Across Turtle Island, there is a growing intergenerational movement of indigenous people proud to carry the message of the grand rematriation of seeds and foods back to indigenous communities.
