  • What do you know about traditional medicines?
  • What are your thoughts on this quote from the article in Gespisiq:

Mi’gmaq shared their knowledge with Europeans upon their arrival and in many cases helped to save their lives when they became ill. The Mi’gmaq knowledge of roots and medicines make up the
basis of many of the prescription drugs that you see in the stores today. This is a major contribution that the Mi’gmaq and other first nations made to all of society.
