What were some of the traditional medicines that Lawrence’s Kokom (Grandma) gathered and what are their uses? Students will need to research their uses, and depending on student level of independence, teachers may wish to have students research one of the traditional medicines and present their findings to the class. This activity can be extended to include plants that are native to your region. Connecting with an Elder or Traditional Knowledge keeper to share information about traditional medicines and the harvesting process would enrich this activity.
