Shownotes Transcript

Anna Cook is a member of the Swinomish Tribe in the Pacific Northwest of Washington state. Anna grew up in and around the Swinomish community learning about what it means to be Swinomish. Living with her parents and grandparents, Anna learned to live off the land, and to be grateful for everything provided by it. Anna continued her passion for plants after school, making her way back home to help her own community, the Swinomish. Anna worked with 13 Moons Garden in Swinomish and recently helped host a 13 Moons Series, promoting safe harvesting practices, uses of traditional medicines such as Stinging Nettle, foods for substance like Camas bulbs and encouraging healthier habits in her community.
