Cultural exchange promotes greater understanding of humankind, enriches our lives with diversity and broadens our global perspective. Learning about indigenous plant relationships helps us be better stewards of mother earth and deepens our respect for “the standing people“.
Rachel Liester is an ethnobotanist and bioregional herbal educator from Nebraska. She visited the physic garden in 2025 and will be returning to teach about the traditional uses of plants for food, medicine and ceremony by indigenous people of the prairie. Over the past two decades she has been a student of Jerome Kills Small, an Oglala Lakota wisdom-keeper who generously shares his knowledge and has given informed consent to pass on his knowledge to you.
