Canoe Woman Herbs

Alicia Cook is a Wolf Clan member of the Kanienkehaka Nation, and Mohawk.

She specializes in teaching about culturally important plants and their uses as food and medicine. Alicia works to build a curriculum and ways of thinking that will promote and protect food sovereignty, and traditional plant knowledge. Along the way, she has learned sacred, valuable knowledge from respected elders in her community, and works towards transferring that knowledge to the younger generation.

Alicia supports the strengthening of women. Through traditional teachings, she has brought back the most sacred of all moon lodge teachings where she is effectively re-connecting women back to Sky Woman, and the Roles and Responsibilities of Women.
