SeedBroadcast has been and continues to be funded by in-kind donations of time, labor, and money from collective SeedBroadcasters. Additionally, in 2012 – 2014 SeedBroadcast received generous grants from the Kindle Project Fund of the Common Counsel Foundation and McCune Charitable Foundation to support our yearly projects. We are also grateful to the individuals and institutions who have sponsored our participation in their public events helping to offset travel expenses. All of these funds and creative partnerships are essential for the successful operation of SeedBroadcast.

With the increasing demands for SEED Action now, we need help to ensure that our 2015 Mobile Seed Story Broadcasting Station Tour, the SeedBroadcast agri-Culture Journal, and our 2015 Residency project, |UN|silo|ED|, at the Santa Fe Art Institute Food Justice Program will have the capacity to dig deep, sprout tall, and shout out Seed Stories across the land.

SeedBroadcast thanks you for your support and BELIEF in the power of Seeds, Stories, and agri-Culture!

Stay tuned for 2015 updates….we have a full tour coming soon and the Spring agri-Culture Journal is almost ready to go to the printers!

Iroquois Corn and the beginnings of a Seed Story Library.

Iroquois corn kernels from the original Haudenosaunee variety.

SeedBroadcast is honored to be partnering with the Sustainable Studies program at Institute for American Indian Arts http://www.iaia.edu/ to activate an interactive Seed Story Library. This vision was spearheaded by Annie Haven McDonnell who is core faculty of the Essential Studies Department and the Chair of the Campus Climate Committee.  Annie invited SeedBroadcast to collaborate on a series of Seed Story workshops to introduce students to the importance of not only saving our traditional seeds but also saving the stories that are encapsulated within them. The process has begun and the students will be collecting seed stories from their communities and working with the campus library to create the IAIA Seed Story Library.
On one of our recent visits to the campus we met with James Thomas Stevens who is the Chair of the Creative Writing program. James is a member of the Akwesasne Mohawk Nation, his Mohawk name is Aronhiótas ,"Where the sky goes up." James graciously shared some of his heritage flint corn along with his story of the resilience of the Iroquois people and this ancient variety of corn  after the destruction of Iroquois villages and crops during the"Burnt Earth Campaign" of 1779.



Both James and Annie are creative beings in their lives, teaching, and they have received many well deserved accolades for their poetry. They are inspired by culture, a deep love of nature and concern for the land they seek to protect.  They observe, listen and truth tell.
 Annie's poem "Seeds"  can be found in the SeedBroadcast Spring agri-Culture Journal http://seedbroadcast.org/SeedBroadcast/SeedBroadcast_agriCulture_Journal_files/SeedBroadcast-Web_Final_1.pdf
SeedBroadcast is looking forward to our continued collaboration and partnership in 2015.
It is an auspicious beginning !
