The Seed Keeper by Diane Wilson is a novel spanning several generations that follows a Dakhóta family’s struggle to preserve their way of life, and their sacrifices to protect what matters most. Weaving together the voices of four indelible women, The Seed Keeper is a story of reawakening, of remembering our original relationship to the seeds and, through them, to our ancestors.
