The Story – E13: Seeds of Sovereignty — Kenhte:ke Seed Sanctuary, Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory
The Kenhte:ke Seed Sanctuary is a powerful Indigenous-led initiative dedicated to preserving traditional Haudenosaunee seeds, knowledge, and agricultural practices. Located in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, the sanctuary works to protect biodiversity while revitalizing cultural identity through seed saving, land stewardship, and community education. Rooted in principles of food sovereignty and respect for the earth, the project reconnects people—especially youth—with ancestral wisdom, ensuring that future generations inherit both the seeds and the stories that sustain them.
