Join environmental and conservation specialist Kristie Orosco for a Kumeyaay/Diegueno Ethnobotany class. Learn the history of Ethnobotany, the scientific study of plants and how cultures use them for medical, religious and other uses, from Kristie Orosco of the San Pasqual Band of Mission Indians. Dive deep into Kumeyaay/Diegueno plant use as she shows you how to make teas and balms from the native plants. The class is part of the Barona Museum’s Ancient Spirits Speak program, hands-on educational classes designed to preserve and share the rich cultural history and traditional skills of local Native Americans.
