Abstract

Often time’s knowledge of plants is told from a human perspective and not the plants. The limited stories of plants from an attempt to share from their perspective reveal the need to learn more about how to do this in a way that respects the plant and shares their story. To help share the plant prospective students were asked to gather information on a medicine (Cedar, tobacco, sweetgrass, or sage) and share a story from the plant's perspective. The purpose of this paper will be to describe a narrative from the perspective of Giizik (Cedar) and I will use story work and more specifically will tailor it to a child and youth perspective. A benefit of Indigenous story work is it can become a useful method in the translation and dissemination of knowledge (Drawson, Toombs & Mushquash, 2017)
