Members of the Pokanoket Tribe and Dr. Jeremy Campbell walked the planned interpretive shell path that will constructed on the Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI. When completed the path will have a variety of markers with QR codes that will tell the story of the Tribe and reveal how they see and use the great variety of plants along the path.
(Above) Tribal Sachem Po Pummukoank Anogqs, Sagamore Po Wauipi Neimpaug, Council member Napauz, and Dr. Campbell talk over their strategy for walking the path and recording elements that they want to include in the on-line material that will illustrate the plants along the path, including plants used for medicinal purposes.
Along the path, Tony Weeden examines some yellow dock weed used as a medicine to treat exzema and other inflammatory conditions. The Sagamore points to one of the plants that was used to successfully treat one of his friends after western medical treatments had failed.
Botany expert Kristine Jones examines some of the trees that are in an open wooded section off of the trail where classes could be held, and Dr. Campbell and the Sachem identify more of the other plants along the path.
