Schedule of Courses

We feel that it is vital to the future of humanity to bring the time tested Indigenous knowledge to the attention of the western scientific world. Therefore, we offer intensive field schools and internships for graduate and undergraduate credit. All courses and internships emphasize Indigenous environmental philosophy, intellectual property rights, and culturally sensitive research techniques. The courses cover a wide continuum of interests from medicinal plants, traditional sustainable agriculture, the intricacies of the human plant relationship, ethnobotany for the elementary and second grade classroom, field research techniques, ethnobotanical theory, plant and cultural ecology, Indigenous ecosystem management, plant systematizes, plant biochemistry, southwestern plant history, and archeobotany.
