She will follow its evolution from Native gardens to contemporary farming and the emergence of GMOs, including work being done by American Indian organizations to reclaim indigenous seeds as a community resource. Diane Wilson is a Mdewakanton Dakota enrolled on the Rosebud Reservation. She is the former Executive Director for the Native American Food Sovereignty Alliance, a national coalition of tribes and organizations working to create sovereign food systems for Native people.
