This has been a steady reminder of why learning my culture is so important. Where previously I never cared, I now understand why my Mom tried to teach, show, and incorporate culture in lessons.

- Tianna, Metis + English + Irish

This was fun. I feel like talking about this stuff is always so cathartic 'cause it's so hard to talk about reclaiming cultural identity, especially with people who may not understand your lived experience.

- Alex, Korean + Canadian

This has really made me think about how little I know about my culture and is inspiring me to reach out to my parents to learn more about what our heritage means.

- Iris, Romanian + Canadian

How do I set up my account?

All you need to do is go to capture.rootandseed.com on a smartphone or tablet that is internet enabled. No need to download any apps, just use your device’s mobile browser.

Go to “sign up” and enter your email address, first name, last name, and start browsing the questions. Family name is an optional field, but will help if you are sharing your recordings.

How does the Conversation Tool work?

The conversation tool helps you start more meaningful conversations, and gives you easy tools to record them for safekeeping and future reflection. Read our article on “How To Use the Conversation Tool” to get started.

What does Root & Seed cost?

Root & Seed is free!

We want to help end the loss of tradition, and we want to help people better understand their roots, so our conversation tool is free. As we add more features, they may be unlocked for a fee. But the features that are available now are free to use and the recordings you make are free to store.

I can’t find the Root & Seed app on the App Store or Play Store.

We aren’t an app. No need to download anything to get started. We wanted you to be able to access the Root & Seed conversation tool as easily as possible, so it’s really just a website. Go to capture.rootandseed.com from your smartphone mobile web browser, and sign up or login.

If you think we should be one, let us know in the feedback form below. We love your ideas!
