Join Historic Huguenot Street and Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians’ author, consultant, and medicine practitioner, Misty Cook, on an evening walk exploring diverse native plants and their traditional medicinal uses. This in-person program will guide visitors from the DuBois Fort Visitor Center through the Nyquist-Harcourt Wildlife Sanctuary, where Misty will share her community’s knowledge and understanding of the indigenous plant life that still thrives in our region.

Misty Cook, M.S., studied medicines in-depth for over seven years in preparation for the completion of her book, “Medicine Generations.” This included identifying, gathering, drying, preserving for use throughout the year, preparing, and making them available to those in need. She is a cultural consultant with a Masters in Management, providing diversity trainings on many topics, including Native American students in education, Native American history, Native American games, and of course, medicines.

Misty's book, “Medicine Generations,” is available for purchase both in-store and on our online Museum Shop. You may pre-order and pick-up when you arrive for the program, by buying online and selecting "pick up" at checkout.
