Valerie Segrest,
Muckleshoot (Washington State), is a dietician finding native foods to bring health to all ages.
"The stinging nettle is one of my very first plant teachers. I took this plant into every aspect of my life for a year. Drinking it's juices, eating it, stinging myself with it, finding every patch I could find, harvesting it, making cordage out of it, and to this day every year it still comes to me and I still learn more and more and more things about it. It is food, it is fiber, it is medicine."
