• 3．An ancient plant，amaranth，is drawing attention throughout the world and connecting indigenous people（土著人）to their history.It has become a billion-dollar food and cosmetic product since the 1970s.The ancient grain can be found in greater numbers of grocery stores in the US and Mexico，and increasingly in the Asia Pacific and Europe.
     "This is a plant that could feed the world." Beata Tsosie-Penaacoordinator of the environmental health and justice program at nonprofit Tewa Women United，told The Guardian.
     Amaranth is actually a grain，like buckwheat（蕎麥），and native to Mesoamerica，a region including southern Mexico and many counties in Central America.Its seed is a highly nutritious source of protein，vitamins and minerals.It's proved to be an attractive product for health-conscious shoppers.
     A single amaranth plant produces hundreds of seeds and can be grown in a wide variety of climates and countries from India，China，Southeast Asia，West Africa and the Caribbean.Growing amaranth has also provided a degree of economic independence for indigenous farmers in Guatemala and the US，according to The Guardian.
     It's this resilience that allowed the plant to survive over the centuries，even when the Spanish arrived in the America in the 16th century and outlawed（宣布...非法）amaranth.Even after facing a near-extinction event in Guatemala when state forces targeted the Maya people and burned their fields，farmers preserved their amaranth seeds by hiding them in jars in the field and under their floorboards.
     "What we want is for the whole world to produce their own food，" Maria Aurelia Xitumul，a member of agricultural community Qachuu Aloom，told The Guardian. "For the seeds，distance doesn't exist.Borders don't exist."
     Most recently，Xitumul said that during the pandemic，people with their own gardens，especially in locked down communities，felt secure knowing they had control over their food supply，thanks to amaranth.
     "Amaranth has completely changed the lives of families in our communities，not only economically but spiritually，" added Xitumul.
