Early Fall Medicine Walks with Elder Betty McKenna

These videos were filmed during the spring, summer, and fall of 2009 in a Medicine Wheel near Moose
Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada. Elder Betty McKenna is Anishnabe and Métis from Shoal River First Nation,
Manitoba.
The videos were realized by the First Nations University of Canada under the supervision of Dr. Carrie
Bourassa and Dr. Fidji Gendron. The videos show different plants during the growing season, how to
recognize them, and how they are used by First Nations and Métis people. Plants collected during these
walks are now on display in the Medicine Room at the First Nations University of Canada.
