UTTC preserves Native crops through seed bank project

United Tribes Technical College in Bismarck, North Dakota, is preserving Native American culture with a seed bank project aimed at maintaining access to traditional crops. The project, part of the Land Grant program, preserves crops that have been integral to Native communities for generations, including varieties of corn over 150 years old, according to reporting by KFYR TV. The seed bank will allow the college to share these historical crops with other tribal communities and institutions.
