Kanenon:we - Original Seeds features three Haudenosaunee women: Angela Ferguson, Rebecca Webster and Rowen White, who are stepping back into their sacred responsibility as seed keepers. 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. They honor the work of our ancestors by regenerating, rematriating and protecting sacred seeds offering a powerful view of what is possible in Indigenous communities working towards food sovereignty.

Director's Statement

I am an Indigenous woman filmmaker, artist and educator. My films focus on Indigenous women who are stepping into their purpose and power. I feel it is vital that Indigenous filmmakers are sharing our stories through our own perspective intertwined with the respect and connection we have to our communities. I am conscious of my ancestors, as these stories comes through me as well as the future generations and the importance of sharing films that include and honor them.
