New Meaning of the Seed Video Project - PREFACE : Our Land, Our Stories

Check out our new video @meaningoftheseed. It is a narrated Preface to the new Our Land, Our Stories book, and it addresses some incredibly damaging misinformation about Native American communities living in New Jersey today. This has been circulating for decades, not only among uninformed local residents, but also at the highest levels of academia as accepted discourse. In this video, we call into question research that relies on colonial archives and eugenics-inflected documents. We include contemporary videos to connect this history to current issues revolving around heritage, identity and land sovereignty.
