New! BOOK AND CARD SET COMBINED. Many Native Elders remind us that plants are teachers. When we awaken our senses and observe nature, plants can lead us in finding ways to be healthy and resilient. For example, alder demonstrates how to collaborate with other species to build a healthy forest community. Yarrow reminds us of the importance of boundaries, while willow shows us how to be flexible yet strong. Plant Teachings Book - Alaska edition This book is part of a toolkit developed through a partnership between GRuB, Northwest Indian Treatment Center, the Seattle Indian Health Board, and Kaasei Indigenous Foodways. It is especially useful for mental health workers, educators, and community members who are exploring behavioral health skills rooted in the land and Alaska Native culture. Plant knowledge, social-emotional skills, stories, mindfulness activities, and recipes for wild foods and herbal medicines are woven throughout the book. Plant Teachings Cards - Alaska edition: Each card features a common Alaska plant and a related social-emotional teaching, accompanied by personal reflection questions. Use these full-color, waterproof and washable cards (suitable for wilderness use) to learn, teach, and remember skills to practice during challenging times.
