Indigenous people had a vast knowledge of the local plants and used them in all aspects of daily life from building materials to food to medicine. In the lexicon of ethnobotany, it doesn’t matter if you are talking about a tree, shrub, or grass, if it grows and is used medicinally, it is referred to as a medicinal herb. In researching this region, it turns out were over 130 native plants used by the Abenaki. Join us to hear Dr. Vicki Motz, renown ethnopharmacologist, as she explains about native pollinator plant species that were used as medicine by the Abenaki, and how they work.
