The plant amaranth is native to Central America, but with permission from a collective of Maya Achi farmers in Guatemala, its seeds are being sown in the U.S., including at Stone Bend Farm near Ithaca, New York. “As we look at climate change<\/a>, it’s a plant that’s so healthy, and that can adapt to so many different places and conditions,” says Sarah Montgomery, co-founder of Qachuu Aloom Mother Earth Association<\/a>, who hosts events (like this one, above) to share ancestral knowledge of how amaranth is grown. Not only is amaranth a highly nutritious protein, it “holds the story inside of it of the disconnection and the genocide of people,” Montgomery says, as it was nearly wiped out during colonization times in the early 1500s. Today, the plant is making a comeback and may be useful as the planet warms, as it adapts to different growing conditions. The solution to climate change<\/a> is “within nature,” Montgomery says. “We just need to learn how to listen.”<\/p>\n\n\n

PIX:\tA group of indigenous Mayans hold an early morning prayer ceremony over a circle of flowers.<\/p>\n

Aurelia v\/o:\tToday is a great day in our Mayan Achi tradition and all the indigenous groups of Guatemala. And today is a great day to celebrate and spread the amaranth seed here. <\/p>\n

PIX:\tJuli\u00e1n rakes the soil and tends to a field of tall, crimson amaranth plants.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tStone Bend Farm, New York <\/p>\n

Juli\u00e1n v\/o:\tWe are telling the world about amaranth seeds. And through the seeds we indigenous peoples are preserving our history. We are going back to our history and our culture.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tSabina and Sarah harvest amaranth by breaking a plant in half.<\/p>\n

Sabina: Amaranth is a highly nutritious seed and this seed was used by our ancestors to nourish many generations. <\/p>\n

Sarah v\/o:\tWe have guests from Guatemala. This is their seed. <\/p>\n

PIX:\tSarah and Sabina stand before an amaranth field holding their harvest.<\/p>\n

Sarah: See how it\u2019s grown so big in this climate that\u2019s so different from where it came from.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tSarah and Sabina leave the field with their harvest.<\/p>\n

Sarah v\/o:\tAs we look at climate change it\u2019s a plant that is so healthy and that can adapt to so many different places and conditions. <\/p>\n

PIX:\tAurelia stretches up to tend to tall amaranth plants.<\/p>\n

Aurelia v\/o:\tAmaranth is a great example for us that there are no barriers, there are no borders.<\/p>\n

TITLE:\tSeeds of Resilience \t\t <\/p>\n

PIX:\tAt their home in New Mexico, Sarah and her husband tend to their garden and feed chickens.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tSarah Montgomery and her family are farmers growing vegetables and seeds, and raising chickens.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tShe also supports Guatemalan farmers sharing their knowledge about amaranth in the U.S. <\/p>\n

Sarah: \tYou can plant the amaranth, harvest the amaranth, cook the amaranth, and know nothing about the history of the amaranth. <\/p>\n

PIX:\tSarah pours a cup of amaranth seeds into a bowl.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tSarah learned about the grain when she was working in Rabinal, Guatemala. <\/p>\n

PIX:\tA view of a mountain range in Rabinal. Guatemalan members of Farmer to Farmer meet in a field.<\/p>\n

Sarah v\/o:\tWhen I got to Rabinal, I was introduced to Farmer to Farmer, which is a methodology for farming.<\/p>\n

Sarah:\tSo the idea is that one farmer teaches another farmer, and they're farmers from the similar circumstances that speak the same language.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tFarmer to Farmer members teach each other farming techniques.<\/p>\n

Sarah v\/o:\tSo it's a different model than having an agronomist coming and saying, \"Oh, you should do this and that to your field.\" <\/p>\n

PIX:\tA lush, green field.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tIn 2006, Sarah and a group of farmers set up Qachuu Aloom, or \u201cMother Earth\u201d Association.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tA girl pours seeds between her hands.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tThey wanted to farm sustainably and work with ancient grains, like amaranth.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tJuli\u00e1n is interviewed before an amaranth field.<\/p>\n

LT: \tJuli\u00e1n V\u00e1squez Chun - Co-Founder - Qachuu Aloom<\/p>\n

Juli\u00e1n:\tWhen we formed Qachuu Aloom, that\u2019s when we learned about amaranth. And when we learned about amaranth it changed everything because it\u2019s new knowledge and new practices. <\/p>\n

PIX:\tIn Guatemala, young people tend to an amaranth field.<\/p>\n

Sarah v\/o:\tThe amazing thing about amaranth is that it's a complete protein. It's a great plant for maintaining health. It doesn't need a ton of special attention to it.<\/p>\n

Sarah:\tAnd then it also tells and holds a story inside of it of the disconnection and the genocide of people.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tA Spanish fleet arriving in America.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tGuatemalans were an important part of the Mayan empire \u2013 until the Spanish came in the 1500s. <\/p>\n

PIX:\tThe conquistadors meet indigenous Mesoamericans. <\/p>\n

Juli\u00e1n v\/o:\tAmaranth disappeared in Guatemala because of the Spanish invaders.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tAn ancient Mayan plants amaranth.<\/p>\n

Juli\u00e1n v\/o:\tThey took all the seeds from us. It was like taking our lives and our humanity.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tThe conquistadors attack indigenous Mesoamericans. <\/p>\n

PIX:\tIn Guatemala, farmers tend their fields. Children help water plants.<\/p>\n

Sarah v\/o:\tWe started Qachuu Aloom with 12 people. They began to see that by using these sustainable practices, by building compost, by using cover crops, that they could have healthy gardens.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tJuli\u00e1n teaches children how to handle amaranth seeds.<\/p>\n

L\/T:\tAurelia Xitumul Ivoy - Member - Qachuu Aloom<\/p>\n

Aurelia:\tThe families that started planting one ounce, or less than one ounce, of amaranth, now they are already harvesting 200 pounds, 300 pounds. They have earned money, not only economic income, but also they have improved their families\u2019 health, because they eat the food they grow.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tIn their kitchen, Guatemalan women knead amaranth flour. Syrup is poured over amaranth pancakes.<\/p>\n

Aurelia v\/o:\tThey make popped amaranth. They make flour for home consumption.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tAn open bag of amaranth flour. A woman measures cups of the flour.<\/p>\n

Aurelia v\/o:\tThey keep their seed.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tBags of amaranth being sold at the market.<\/p>\n

Aurelia v\/o:\tThey sell the surplus in the market.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tGuatemalan families line up to receive their paychecks from Qachuu Aloom.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tQachuu Aloom now works with over 500 families in Rabinal.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tBack to the bright green fields of Stone Bend Farm in New York.<\/p>\n

LT:\tStone Bend Farm, New York<\/p>\n

PIX:\tA tall, crimson amaranth plant.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tEvery year, Sarah brings the team up from Guatemala to share their knowledge with North American farmers and gardeners.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tAurelia and Sabina lead a procession out of a barn to the amaranth field.<\/p>\n

Aurelia v\/o:\tToday we have the honor of being here with you. We want to share the way we harvest our plants. <\/p>\n

PIX:\tIn the amaranth field, participants line up to watch Aurelia lead the thanksgiving ceremony.<\/p>\n

TEXT:\tMany in the U.S. are surprised to learn about amaranth, where it\u2019s considered a weed.<\/p>\n

Sarah: There's a way of using language to say that this plant is not important. One of the ways is that amaranth is known in the United States is pigweed. <\/p>\n

PIX:\tAn animated soldier attacks an amaranth plant; the title \u201cWeed of the Week\u201d appears. Two white farmers give an interview denigrating \u201cpigweed.\u201d<\/p>\n

SOT:\tYou may have Palmer pigweed and you say, there\u2019s nothing I can do about this, I can\u2019t stop this weed. Yes, you can!<\/p>\n

PIX:\tDrone shot of a corn field.<\/p>\n

Sarah v\/o:\tIn these giant GMO corn fields we have across the country, here is these wild amaranths that come up like they always have, accompanying the corn in the fields.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tA tractor sprays weed control over a field.<\/p>\n

Sarah v\/o:\tBut it's seen as this massive pest in industrial agriculture.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tAurelia, holding a candle in the direction of each dedication, leads the amaranth ceremony as Sarah translates for the crowd.<\/p>\n

Sarah v\/o:\tFirst, I asked permission from the great spirit of the sun. We also ask permission from the direction of the water. We also ask permission from where the wind comes from. And if everybody brings just one seed home today, we can multiply this plant in every one of your gardens.<\/p>\n

Crowd:\tYay!<\/p>\n

PIX:\tJuli\u00e1n takes over for Aurelia, explaining amaranth harvesting to the crowd. Sarah translates.<\/p>\n

Sarah v\/o:\tWhen you see that the birds are flying on top of the flowers, that\u2019s the sign that amaranth is ready to be harvested.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tThe crowd approaches Juli\u00e1n to feel amaranth seeds.<\/p>\n

Sarah:\tWe\u2019re going to harvest just one flower per person.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tJuli\u00e1n bends an amaranth plant in half.<\/p>\n

Sarah v\/o:\tYou just do it like this. So if you\u2019d like to join us in harvesting one?<\/p>\n

PIX:\tThe crowd mingles and harvests their plants.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tJuli\u00e1n leads the crowd to the cleaning site. Each person holds an amaranth flower in their arms.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tParticipants gather by huge white cloths on the ground to start cleaning their plants.<\/p>\n

Boy v\/o:\tCan you eat all the amaranth leaves?<\/p>\n

Sarah:\tYou can eat all amaranth leaves when they're younger. But like, you wouldn't want to eat these leaves because right now the plant is sending all of its energy up into its flower to produce seed.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tParticipants rub amaranth plants between their hands to harvest seeds.<\/p>\n

Sarah v\/o:\tThe best way I can describe working with amaranth, is that it feels good, it feels happy. There's a lot of hope in this seed that can grow in so many different climates.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tAurelia gathers her group\u2019s seeds into the center of their cloth.<\/p>\n

Juli\u00e1n v\/o:\tAmaranth is very resistant to climate change. We as small farmers, as indigenous people, we know very well that our life depends on nature. <\/p>\n

PIX:\tJuli\u00e1n sifts his group\u2019s seeds from a metal colander onto a tarp as the crowd looks on.<\/p>\n

Sarah:\tWe might want to think that the solution to climate change, it\u2019s going to be like this top-down thing where someone comes up with a great idea.<\/p>\n

PIX:\tAurelia sifts seeds from one bowl to another as a fan blows the amaranth flowers away.<\/p>\n

Sarah v\/o:\tBut really we\u2019ve had the solution all along. The solution is already there. It's within nature. It's within the seeds, and we just need to learn how to listen.<\/p>\n<\/p>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
