Medicine Walk – Discovering Indigenous Plant Teachings and Traditional Medicines (MB)

The Winnipeg Regional Office is excited to announce an invaluable opportunity to join us on a guided walk on Indigenous Plant Teachings and Medicine.

Elder and Knowledge Keeper, David Daniels, of Long Plain First Nation will share his teachings about traditional plant medicines, land stewardship, and our relationship with the natural world. Guests may learn about the Four Sacred Medicines alongside other plants traditionally used for wellness, food, ceremony, and everyday life.

These experiences highlight Indigenous knowledge as both ancient and deeply scientific, grounded in generations of observation, sustainability, and connection to the environment. Discussions may also include the impacts of residential schools and colonization on Indigenous relationships to the land, as well as ongoing cultural and environmental revitalization efforts.
