FORT WILLIAM — Fort William First Nation hosted a Wild Medicines Teachings workshop by Couchiching’s Helen Hill on April 25 in the Cultural Room at the Fort William First Nation Community Centre.
“We’re taking two medicinal products and … we’re creating a more medicinal product by combining the two,” Hill says. “Once it’s done, the [product] can either be transformed into a cough syrup by adding some water, they could just use it as a decongestant or a throat soother for children.”
Hill says her goal is to help people regain their health.
