The Native People, Native Plants Symposium is focused on celebrating cultural relationships between Native American people and native plants. Through workshops led by local Native American plant knowledge keepers, we will explore and celebrate cultural uses, traditions, and relationships among multiple Native plants and the people who have been tending to and using these plants since time immemorial. We aim to bring more visibility to and awareness of Indigenous uses of plants, not just those native to NC, and uplift historic relationships with plants and people. We also plan to exchange native plant seeds in a community seed swap - please bring seeds to share if you have them!
Priority RSVP is respectfully intended for Native community members until November 5, when public registration will begin.
