Freshman Cluster:

Ethnobotany

Wednesday 12-1:50 pm

Meet first in FH 205E

(we will sometimes meet in FH 107)

Welcome to the web site of the Ethnobotany Freshman Cluster! We will be learning a little about the daily lives of Seneca Indians in our area in the past. We will be researching how the Seneca Indians used local plants for food, myths, and crafts among many other uses.

More on Botany of the Five Nations

We will be reading two stories of native american life. One is a true story about Mary Jemison, an immigrant from Ireland that was captured and sold to the Seneca Indians. To read a synopsis of her life, click here

If you are a student in my class, please email me! Let me know what you want to learn about the Seneca Indians, and how they used plants.

What do you want to learn in this course?

Thanks for visiting & we'll add more to this site as the course progresses.

Native Americans made fantastic canoes. Further north of Bradford, many canoes were made with the bark of the white (paper) birch tree.
