Anishinaabe Bizindamoo Makak – Karen Drift on Traditional Medicines

In this early-summer themed short feature, Nett Lake elder Karen Drift shares some of things she’s learned about gathering medicines. She talks about skunk medicine, identifying edible berries and plants and shares some of the lessons learned from her grandmother about being Anishinaabe Ikwe–an Ojibwe woman.
These stories were first heard in Episode 10 of Anishinaabe Bizindamoo Makak, hosted by Erik Redix and produced by WTIP North Shore Community Radio.

Anishinaabe Bizindamoo Makak is supported in part by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
