Thursday, November 9, 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm Eastern – Seeds of Resilience: The Cultural Dimension of Plant Biodiversity, Online

by

Explore stories from the Indigenous Land and Seed Sovereignty movement, which embodies the vision of sustainable relational agriculture and shares the depth of the cultural dimension of plant biodiversity in North America.

Mohawk Seedkeeper Rowen White will share insight into the collective vision of intercultural healing that emerges when we center Indigenous leadership, ecological knowledge, cultural memory, and sovereignty of living in relationship with the inheritance of land, seeds, and other non-human kin. She’ll share her personal experience at the Native American Food Sovereignty Alliance to paint an uplifting picture of cultural and climate sanity for the regenerative land stewardship movement in these times of great transformation.

This lecture on November 9 at 6 pm, online, is part of NYBG’s celebration of Native American Heritage Month. $35 for NYBG members, $39 for nonmembers. Register HERE
