The blue and white kernels sometimes form a pattern that looks like a majestic bird. But white eagle corn is more than just a feast for the eyes and a traditional food staple. Along with other Cherokee heirloom crop varieties, this corn and its seeds are a key ingredient in the history and culture of the tribe. And leaders of the Cherokee Nation are determined to preserve these precious seeds—now and forever. That's why, on February 25, 2020, the Cherokee Nation sent some seeds from its tribal reservation in Oklahoma to a frigid island in Svalbard. Svalbard is an archipelago between mainland Norway and the North Pole. The island is the site of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. This vault holds seeds that are critical for food and agriculture. The vault was created to reduce the risk of essential crops becoming extinct as a result of disasters. Think disease, warfare, or a plague of plant-munching pests. What if all the plants of a certain type of crop were suddenly wiped out? The seeds in the vault would be used to regrow them. So, the seed bank is set up to save us from a catastrophe. That's why it's often called "the doomsday vault." The vault is tucked deep inside a frozen mountain. Scientists picked the icy island locale so that the seeds would stay frozen even during power outages. As of 2020, it holds about a million packs of seeds. And there's room for upwards of 3 million more. The vault stores samples from almost every country. But the Cherokee Nation is the first Native American group that's been asked to contribute seeds. Long before, however, the tribe was already preserving a collection of heirloom stock in its own seed bank. The Cherokee Nation Seed Bank was created as a way to protect traditional seeds and distribute them to tribe members. But by depositing seeds in the Svalbard vault and retaining its own seed bank, the tribe doubled down on protecting its seeds for future generations. Chuck Hoskin, Jr. is the Cherokee Nation's Principal Chief. He points out that the seeds stored in the two seed banks are critical for cultivating Cherokee culture as well as crops. There are nine Cherokee varieties in the Svalbard vault. They include black and brown beans, squash, and four types of corn. These have all been around since before Europeans arrived in North America. The seeds are living links between today's tribe members and their ancestors. For example, white eagle corn is the most prized Cherokee crop. The corn helped sustain the tribe on the long, grueling journey known as the Trail of Tears. When the Cherokee were forced from their ancestral lands in the southeastern U.S., they brought some of this corn along. Today, it's a key element in tribal rituals and activities. The seeds are part of the tribe's path to the future, too. Hoskin stresses the importance of educating Cherokee youth about heirloom seeds and culture. "It's a way to encourage people, young and old, to get outdoors and garden, to connect them with their food and remind them where it comes from," he said. By preserving the seeds, the Cherokee are making sure their culture will continue to grow and thrive. ACTIVITY 1. Select the letter of the correct answer. What is a cause and effect relationship that takes place in the Article? A Because Native American tribes needed a place to store their seeds, a seed vault was created on an island in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard. B Because the Cherokee Nation stored its seeds in a frozen seed bank, they can now be used as a key element in tribal rituals and activities. C Because seeds are stored in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, they are most likely safe from disease, warfare, and insect plagues.
