The Menu: ‘Seeds’ and the ‘Legendary Frybread Drive-In’

In the comedy thriller “Seeds”, social media influencer Ziggy is offered a lucrative sponsorship contract with a corporate seed and fertilizer company.

But Ziggy is called back to her Mohawk Reserve to help out her cousin, which gets her tangled in an all-out battle to save her tribe’s ancestral seeds. Kanienʼkehá:ka Mohawk actor Kaniehtiio Horn stars in the title role of Ziggy. She’s also the screenwriter and director for the film.

And a new collection of stories by Indigenous authors serves up more than just Native comfort food. Each of the stories in “Legendary Frybread Drive-In: Intertribal Stories” is geared toward young adult readers, with all roads leading to Sandy June’s Legendary Frybread Drive-in.

Sandy June’s isn’t just an eatery, as the food comes with a helping of elder wisdom about love, grief, culture, and healing. Editor Cynthia Leitich Smith (Muscogee) calls it “a hug of a book.”
