About Adrian Seneca Bello:

Adrian is of Seneca (Onöndowa;ga:'), Irish, Scottish, and Polish descent. She was raised on the Ohlone lands of the East Bay Area in California, where she learned early what it means to live between worlds.

Her path of cultural in-betweenness has shaped her life’s work as a community weaver, bridge builder, facilitator, and peacemaker. She holds a degree in Anthropology with a minor in Native American Studies from the University of California, Berkeley.

Adrian's early years were spent organizing around cultural preservation, fighting for creative autonomy and access to space in the rapidly gentrifying Bay Area. That work eventually led her to questions of food sovereignty and land-based living.

Since then, she has worked with a range of grassroots initiatives, gathering people across differences to co-create spaces of healing, dialogue, and resilience. Whether as a farmer, facilitator, or mediator, she has witnessed both the power and the challenge of reconnecting human communities with one another and the Earth.

Today, Adrian lives and works in Seneca territory in upstate New York, where she serves as a farmer and facilitator committed to ancestral healing and community renewal. Her work is guided by the belief that remembering who we are—and the responsibilities we carry as human beings—is essential to building a future grounded in sovereignty, reciprocity, and collective wellness.
