Learning Aboriginal History and Culture

With all the reorganizing behind me , I am ready to start a very interesting week.
I am meeting John Bear in Elgin today, and spending the next 4 or 5 days with him, explaining his culture and his family long history in the healing ways of the aboriginals.
John's grand parents were both medicine people and past on their learning and taught him the ways of natural medicine.
Plant identification, herbal remedies are up first. Second day will be fishing and hiking. Third day cleansing and spiritual ways. Fourth day building a fire , Iding of different kind of woods and the uses of the different woods.
I first meant John last year and find him to be a insightful man, a man who shares his knowledge and his love of the land
I believe this will be a week where I will learn allot and come away from it with a better understanding of Aboriginal culture and history.
