Dana (Blue Thunderbird Woman), is a Metis descendant of both the Ojibwe and Cree peoples of Canada. She has always been an outdoor advocate and have a special affinity to the remote wilderness areas of Manitoba - in the pristine boreal forest.
When her teenage daughter Darah passed away from Ewing Sarcoma cancer at the age of only 14 years old, she was immediately inspired to look deeper into traditional spiritual and herbal medicine of the early indigenous peoples with hopes of incorporating these practices with conventional medicine and treatment as an integrative and all-encompassing holistic approach to healing.

There are over 4000 species alone of medicinal plants in Canada and it is her goal to be able to learn as much as possible in my time here on this beautiful earth so that shecan pass this invaluable information on. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 80% of the world's population is using herbal medicine for some form of primary health care. She is one of them.
