I joined this community to learn more about the names of plants that I use.

I grew up in an indigenous community practicing and living off the land.

The knowledge that has been given to me has been passed down through my family.

This is the year that I realize I may not know the correct names of most of the plants I use . One reason is because of the translation from one language to the next.

I am mikmaq, I hope to learn more by being in this space so that when I do my medicine walks, I am able to give the correct names in English.
