00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,280
Who taught you about seedkeeping?

2
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,400
I learnt from my parents.

3
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:58,560
Do you grow more rice or different kinds of these seeds?

4
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,600
I cultivate paddy in the terrace fields as well as these seeds.

5
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,280
Do you share these seeds with others?

6
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:12,600
I share these seeds with people in the village.

7
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:22,360
I have exchanged my sorghum seeds with jobs-tear seeds that my friend Kezunyilou gave me and cultivated them.

8
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:30,640
I want to share these seeds with my people so that they will cultivate these crops in future generations.

9
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:42,800
I started saving and storing seeds when I was young.

10
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:50,440
I have 50-60 variety of seeds.

11
00:01:50,440 --> 00:02:09,080
Our traditional seeds are free from chemicals. They are good, clean and thus keep us healthy.

12
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:22,800
For as long as we have known, Nagas have saved and shared seeds knowing that our traditional seeds are good.

13
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:33,200
I share these seeds with my neighbours hoping that they will cultivate and consume this food, and stay healthy.

14
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,520
Millet is a boy.

15
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,880
Paddy is a girl.

16
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:44,160
Once, they met on the way Millet said to Paddy, "I want to live in the plain areas."

17
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:54,440
Paddy replied, "I want to live in the plain areas." So they argued.

18
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:00,800
But Millet said again, "I want to live in plain areas."

19
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:07,800
Paddy stood up and told Millet, "Since you are a boy, you can live in a rocky place.

20
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:14,520
Whereas I am a girl and I am not fit to live in a difficult place.

21
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:21,240
So as a boy, you please go and live in the rocky places and I will live in the plain areas."

22
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:40,120
To this, Millet got upset and told Paddy, "I will leave and go south and find another good area in the plains to

23
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:49,120
On his way, he met Tsuko (shrimp). Tsuko stopped Millet and told him not to leave.

24
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:58,520
Tsuko said, "When we are cooked, I become red and you become yellow. Thus we make a good combination.

25
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:05,880
So don't leave. Let us stay together." So Tsuko stood up and stopped Millet. Millet agreed to stay.

26
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,720
That is how Millet, a boy, started living in the rocky places.

27
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,120
and Paddy, a girl, started living in the plain areas

28
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:23,440
Paddy is a girl and Millet is a boy, that is how they started living together..........
