!Hi
My name is Naomi and I am a Senior in the UAF Department of Alaska Native Studies & Rural Development program. I live within the Norton Sound/Bering Strait region of Alaska and am actively participating in subsistence, commercial fishing, and and tundra plant harvesting.
Welcome Naomi, it is great to see diverse geographic representation in this course. I hope this class will get you a deeper understanding of the plants in your immediate area and by extension what plants might be useful for traditional medicines. I have worked with documentary film maker Sarah Betcher to produce a number of videos on wild and edible plants of Alaska. You might want to have a look at those.
