Abstract:
Snowbird Cherokees in western North Carolina chose a trail planted with trees and medicinal herbs to honor the memory of tribal leaders, like Junaluska, who have passed down age-old traditions. The Medicine Trail is located outside Robbinsville. The nearly forty-five plants along the trail were selected for their role in the community's medicine traditions. Plants include Joe Pye weed, sourwood, yellowroot, and goldenseal.
