Medicines To Help Us: Traditional Metis Plant Use is a stunning set of 30 full-colour gallery quality study prints, and an accompanying field guide in which Christi Belcourt fuses her evocative artwork with research on plants and Traditional Knowledge to explore traditional Metis medicinal knowledge, and medicinal properties of the plants depicted in her painting.  This innovative and vibrant resource honours the centuries-old healing traditions of Metis women. Filled with full-colour photographs, maps, illustrations, and the names of plants listed in four Aboriginal languages—Michif-Cree, Ile-à-la Crosse Michif, Cree, and Ojibway—each study print showcases a type of wild plant that can be found throughout the Métis Homeland. In addition, the reverse sides of the study prints can be assembled to recreate a highly detailed 60” (152.4cm) replica of Christi Belcourt’s painting. PRICE: $65.00
