We were grateful to welcome Dancing Water Sandy to Tatla Lake School to lead a tea blending workshop that introduced students to the traditional medicinal qualities of local plants. During the session, students learned about plants such as mullein, rose hips, Labrador leaf, and soapalalie berries and how they have been used traditionally to support health and wellness.
Students had the opportunity to create their own tea blends, including a cough and cold tea and a sleepy time tea. This hands-on learning experience helped students understand how knowledge of the land has long been used to care for people and support well-being.
We were also pleased to have students from Anahim Lake School join us for this shared learning opportunity. It was a wonderful day of connection, learning, and appreciation for Indigenous knowledge and the important role that plants play in traditional medicine.
