Learning about Traditional Indigenous Medicines
Thank you, Ms. Dachuk, for helping arrange for Health 8 students to have an opportunity to learn from Elder Sylvia Johnson. She shared her knowledge of traditional Indigenous medicines and their importance within Indigenous culture and healing practices. Students explored how natural plants and medicines have been used for generations to promote health and wellness. As part of this hands-on learning experience, students created their own medicinal salve, gaining a deeper appreciation for traditional knowledge, cultural teachings, and the connection between people and the land.
