Instructor Bio: Hope Flanagan is Noodinesiikwe (Little Wind Woman) from the Turtle Clan. She comes from the people of Tonawanda, Seneca Reservation. Hope began picking plants as a small girl with her mother and sister. She remembers asking about okandamoo (yellow waterlily root) and bagwaji-okaadaakoons (Queen Anne’s Lace, or wild carrot) when she was 2 or 3.

Hope has a teacher certification from the University of Minnesota in social studies and American Indian eminence credentials.  She also has teacher certification in English as a second language, early childhood education, and elementary education. She has always heard that each plant has its own gift to the people—food, medicine, or utility. The plants know their purpose; people have to learn and listen.
