Indigenous Medicine with Red Clay State Historic Park

Long before medicine as we know it existed, the indigenous peoples of the world utilized plants to heal their sick and mend wounds. The Cherokee people, local to our area before the Trail of Tears, viewed plants as helpers; for every illness inflicted upon humanity by the animals they hunted, the plants provided a cure.

Join Ranger Taylor Young from Red Clay State Historic Park to learn about the Cherokees’ relationship with plants, traditional uses, and their cultural significance.
