Every plant we gather is part of a reciprocal exchange: we take only what is needed, offer gratitude, and ensure that medicines can return for future generations.In a time when Indigenous medicines face overharvesting, commercialization, and loss of access, protecting these relationships becomes an act of sovereignty. Reconnecting to the land is not just healing for the body — it is cultural, spiritual, and ecological healing.We walk gently so that the plants, their teachings, and the people connected to them can continue to thrive.We are three generations and this is the heart of our work.This is the heart of our medicine." } ] } ] ```
