Seed Sovereignty Declaration
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3D5Jx1iUGGuRI

This video features a reading of the Seed Sovereignty Declaration that was 
drafted by members of the New Mexico Acequia Association and the Traditional 
Native American Farmers' Association. This Alliance was later joined by the 
organizations Tewa Women United and Honor Our Pueblo Existence. The 
Declaration was presented and signed by 110 participants at the 1st Annual 
Tierra, Agua, y Cultura conference held in Alcalde, New Mexico on March 10 & 
11, 2006.

This video features a recording of the Declaration read by students of 
Peñasco Middle School and Roots and Wings Charter School in 2010. The video 
and imagery depicts northern New Mexican cultural traditions of Indo-Hispano 
and Native American Pueblo food and agriculture. The images and video were 
mostly obtained over the years with the support of projects involving Miguel 
Santistevan that were funded by the McCune and Christensen Foundations and 
the Kindle Project.
