Seed: The Untold Story Page #2
'cause these are my children.
Indian people, we
talk in one language,
the language of the seeds.
The most important
thing in my heart
it's taking seeds
anywhere I can go.
My grandfather tell me one time,
"This is very
important for life,"
and he put me before he died,
before he died he put me,
full of the seeds in my hand
and he said this is life.
And put always in your pocket.
Because if you have
seeds in your pocket,
you can walk and eat the seeds
and if you have money,
you cannot eat the money.
This is gold! Seeds, they
are our own medicine.
When we have to eat, we give
a little bit to the earth.
I am working now for seven
years in Tesuque Pueblo.
We lost our seeds,
we lost our food.
Pero, when you losing the seeds,
you losing completely your
traditional ways of eating.
I bring some of the crops
Quinoa, Amaranth.
The lost crops of the Incas.
It's part of this prophecy,
the condor and the eagle.
Exchanging seeds,
exchanging knowledge.
In all these bags you see,
we have different
type of the seeds.
This trailer there
was not one seed.
Seven years
we fill up with our
work, with our sweat,
and this is food for the future.
These seeds,
they're not very happy
because they're one

Native Seeds/SEARCH
is a seed bank.
(seeds crackle off husk)
Most of the seeds came to
As modern creatures,
we're in debt to that.
They are the last
expression of these stewards
going back thousands of years
that took care of these things
and made sure that we got them.
call this Fort Knox. (laughs)
There's just so
much wealth in here.
There's about two thousand
different varieties
of invaluable
agricultural crops.
All 38 generations,
all this energy comes
down into the seed,
you get to hold it and
then all the future
and the millions more that
can come out goes out.
And you are at that point
when you hold those seeds
in your hands.
Right here is the mother corn.
This is the ancient ancestor
from which all corn came.
And that's what we're losing.
I mean we just don't
have the time left again
recreate all this stuff.
That's why it's so invaluable.
Once it's gone, it's gone.
Seeds are living embryos.
They do have a life span.
(calm but melancholy music)
We try to grow everything
out every 10 years,
that's why we have
the 60 acre farm here.
We are hugely vulnerable
with all of those seeds.
