Today, we honor the land, the ancestors, and the plant teachers who have cared for the Americas since before they had names. ✨ For centuries, Indigenous healers have tended to body, mind, and spirit through right relationship with the Earth, not extraction. Yet much of this wisdom was silenced, appropriated, or erased in the name of “progress” and “civilization.” Indigenous Peoples’ Day is a time to unlearn the whitewashed myths and remember the truth: the soil under your feet was not discovered; it was already deeply loved, cultivated, and known. We give thanks to the medicine keepers who preserved the sacred pharmacopeia of this land, carrying the intelligence of Nature forward and the lineages who listened. 🌾 Herbalism is a living tradition of reciprocity, sovereignty, and remembrance. Keep learning from those who never forgot this truth. Honor the original stewards of plant medicine, not only in words, but through land acknowledgment, education, and ethical practice. 🌿 Indigenous wisdom is not an alternative. It’s ancestral. It’s original. It’s alive. . . .
