In this workshop we will explore plants as our relatives, ancestors, medicines and foods. We will learn about the Respectful Harvesting Guidelines and make salves, tea blends, and oil rollers while learning the social emotional teachings of a few Alaskan plants. Through this workshop we will gain new appreciation and understanding of Indigenous ways while strengthening relationships with the land and our community using the Social Emotional Alaskan Plant curriculum.
This workshop is led by Haa Tóoch Lichéesh Coalition members and staff. We are a community-based violence prevention coalition who envisions a socially just community in a reciprocal, healthy relationship with the land and with each other. Guided by the wisdom of our ancestors, we reckon with injustice and commit to healing and liberation, while honoring our interdependence. Together, we are imagining and creating a community free from violence.
