Friday June 19 * 12pm * $35 * REGISTERForaging in America has strong connections to Black and Indigenous history. This talk will discuss how our ancestors made food, medicine, dyes and materials using many of the wild plants that we walk past every day. We will learn to identify, work with and honor these magical plants as well as explore the laws and systems that disconnected us in the first place.
Some of the plants we may discuss include Sassafras, Black Cherry, Pokeweed, Pawpaws, Cranesbill, Mulberries, Dandelion, Wild Garlic, Wild Lettuce, Black Walnut, Senna and more. Many of these plants have rich histories as staples in indigenous diets; some were used to supplement rations during slavery, to provide food and medicine during escape and later became staples in the black American diet.
Samples of herbal preparations will be available for participants to try, and participants will receive recipes.
