Spokane Indigenous Ethnobotany Place-based Curriculum Project

Locating plants, learning, and documenting . This is the place to come and learn about our plants and their uses. We look forward to what is to come. 

We have been awarded the Preservation and Maintenance grant through the Administration for Native Americans! This grant has given us the opportunity to study our language and culture through the knowledge of plants. We are documenting our specific plants and will use this information and create an indigenized curriculum that will be taught to our children and our children's children. Our website is currently under construction, but we are looking forward to what is to come!
