Cherokee Nation to Disperse Rare Heirloom Seeds February 1

01/16/2018 – TAHLEQUAH, Okla. — The Cherokee Nation will begin dispersing its limited supply of heirloom seeds Feb. 1 to tribal citizens who are interested in growing traditional Cherokee crops.

In 2017, the Cherokee Nation distributed 3,784 packages of seeds to tribal citizens.

“The Cherokee people have a long history of harvesting seeds and passing them down, and this seed bank program keeps that tradition alive with new generations of Cherokees,” said Pat Gwin, Cherokee Nation senior director of Cherokee Nation Environmental Resources. “These heirloom seeds are varieties that the Cherokee people harvested long before European contact. Planting and sustaining them is a great way to make a cultural connection to our history.”

Cherokee Nation citizens are limited to two varieties of seeds, and each applicant must submit a copy of his or her Cherokee Nation tribal citizenship card, proof of age and address.
