Northern Cheyenne Plants & Their Uses
Located in the heart of the Northern Cheyenne Reservation, Crazy Head Springs sustains a unique mix of plants found nowhere else on the Reservation. In this talk, Kathy will highlight about 20 accessible and commonly used plants from this rare riparian shrubland and coniferous forest ecosystem. She will share their traditional uses and Northern Cheyenne names, as taught to her by tribal ethnobotanist William “Bill” Tallbull.
Join us for an enlightening public lecture series that delves into the rich tapestry of Western history and explores the invaluable lessons it offers for our present-day world. Through engaging talks by historians and scholars, we will examine key events, movements, and figures that have shaped Western civilization. After the lecture, there will be a meet-and-greet with the evening’s speaker and light refreshments
