I took this photo while harvesting nettles that I will dry and give to the elders for tea. It reminds me that since the beginning elders have always needed harvesters and gatherers to support them, and now we have to remember that teaching. We need to gather food and medicine for our elders, and we need to make sure we do it in a safe way. Jared Qwustenuxun Williams/The Discourse Cowichan
