Styawat / Dr. Leigh Joseph is an ethnobotanist, researcher, and community activist whose aim is to contribute to cultural knowledge renewal in connection to Indigenous plant foods and medicines. As part of this mission, she founded Sḵwálwen Botanicals, an Indigenous business creating small-batch botanical skincare products based in British Columbia, Canada. Honoring traditional Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) plant knowledge, they incorporate wild-harvested plants and organic, high-quality ingredients. She shares her Indigenous plant knowledge in written form in her books Held by the Land and The Land Knows Me. She is a member of the Squamish Nation.
Join Styawat / Dr. Leigh Joseph to learn about Indigenous plant relationships and how we are all connected to nature through plant-based foods, medicines, and materials. The best way to learn about plants is through observing and interacting with living examples. Leigh will share how you can strengthen your connection to the Land where you are through exploration, such as harvesting herbs and other plants and using them topically, sharing North American plants that can treat common ailments, add nutrition to your diet, become part of your beauty regime, stories and traditions about native plants from the author’s Squamish culture.
