Healing From the Land: A Conversation with Black Root Workers

By Anchorage Museum

Root workers are the traditional healers of the Black South who, along with hunter-gatherers, use herbs and roots to help recipients of their ministrations. Hear from a panel of modern root workers and hunter-gatherers about their use of plants and herbs found on Alaska land to support wellness and spiritual health. Panel members are Kim Morrell-Bledsoe, Laila Ford, Lauri King, and Antavia Hamilton, and the conversation will be moderated by Sequoya Hayes. Free. Registration required.
