Lac La Hache Medicine Walk

Mike Archie lead the Lac La Hache staff in a local medicine walk. The teachings included how local plants were used for food, medicine, and teas. In this picture, staff learned how fir tree pitch was used as a salve and gum. The fir branches are used as a soft place to sit and used in the sweat lodge. Also fir cones were used as a way to keep warm and are burned to create smoke used to tan hides.
