Kanenon:we - Original Seeds carries viewers into the Indigenous seed sovereignty movement led by Haudenosaunee women. Prior to European contact there was a rich and vibrant diversity of foods, with women primarily responsible for caretaking of the seeds. Genocidal practices including, boarding schools, land theft, forced relocation, imposed religion and even food warfare contributed to a disconnection from our traditional foods and seeds. Today, Indigenous seed keepers are vigilantly protecting the biodiversity of seeds under threat of Agro-Chemical Giants that currently control over sixty percent of seeds worldwide. This film features Haudenosaunee seed keepers: Rebecca Webster, Angela Ferguson and Rowen White as they step back into their sacred responsibility as seed keepers offering a powerful view of what is possible in Indigenous communities working towards food sovereignty.
