Medicines to Help Us: Traditional Métis Plant Use
This decorative folder includes a resource guide and 30 study prints, each of which represents part of an original painting by Christi Belcourt, and is 21.5 by 28 cm in size. The 30 study prints can be assembled to create a 152.4 cm replica of Belcourt's painting, which is rendered in dots to emulate traditional Métis beadwork. The colourfully detailed study prints depict 27 plants that have medicinal properties. These medicinal properties are explained in the resource guide and on the back of the prints, along with maps indicating where in Canada the plants grow, how to use them, cautions, colour photographs of the plants and the names of the plants in English, Michif, Cree and Ojibway. Medicines to Help Us combines contemporary Métis artwork and the floral motif within traditional Métis beadwork with Métis traditional knowledge regarding the medicinal properties of plants.
The resource guide offers an essay by Elder Rose Richardson regarding her personal experience in using medicinal plants. It includes a table of contents, a glossary and lists of print resources and websites that could be useful for further study of medicinal plants.
