Plant, tree, and animal-based remedies were made by medicine makers for everyday ailments. The main objective of the project is to promote the social and educational interaction and the transfer of knowledge between the Mi’kmaq and non-Mi’kmaq youth and Mi’kmaw elders through sharing circles, educational food sovereignty workshops, gardening, medicinal walks, and foraging at Tatamagouche Centre.
