Indigenous Voices Book Club: “The Seed Keeper” by Diane Wilson

The complex legacy of Native American farming and land stewardship anchors this discussion at Bookstore1Sarasota. The Indigenous Voices Book Club will examine Diane Wilson’s novel The Seed Keeper, which follows a Dakota woman who returns to her ancestral roots to protect her family’s heritage of cultivating seeds. The conversation will highlight how the book connects historical trauma—including the forced removal of children to boarding schools—to modern agricultural practices. Readers will explore the narrative’s themes of resilience, ecological memory and the fierce protection of cultural identity.
