A field recording from Pine Top in February 2020 captures Wabanaki speakers reflecting on growth and mortality through everyday images: tomato seeds becoming bright red fruit, a baby growing into an old man, the body buried while the soul persists. The cold is sharp enough that speakers layer clothing, socks, hats, and masks.

Everything that's like,
you know, little tomato seeds you and Nancy plant in your garden.
Well, it's like this.
Like this.
Remember how Joshua can lace.
When the baby grows up to be an old man?
They bury his body in the ground,
But his soul.
Oh, I'm bundled. I got like two jackets on, two pair of pants, about three socks, hat. I need a mask, too. It's cold, real cold.
Everything that's right,
You know, little tomato seeds you and Nancy find in your garden. How they grow into nice red to ice red.
Well, looks like this.
Like that.
