Description:

I am Southern Tutchone Wolf Clan, from the Ta’an Kwach’an Council First Nation. I am a descendent of the Jenny Laberge family, my ancestral ties are to Fanny Jim and Jimmy Smith. My dad is John Burdek (Ta’an
Kwach’an Council First Nation Elder) and my grandmother is Elizabeth (Betty) Miller (Kwanlin Dun First Nation Elder).
I have been gathering traditional plant medicine knowledge for the last 20 years, and still have so much more to learn. My three children and I spend countless hours foraging for and harvesting traditional plants and crafting traditional creations from our Yukon forests.
My primary focus (aka my passion) is being a traditional and modern plant knowledge facilitator. Facilitating opportunities for learning by creating safe spaces for sharing, embracing, and revitalizing this traditional wisdom and knowledge in a good way. My goal is to create opportunities for inter generational learning that fosters cultural connection while contributing to the preservation and revitalization of traditional knowledge for future generations.
I love creating unique art pieces showcasing treasures found within traditional territories of the Yukon’s Boreal Forest.. Facilitating knowledge sharing and creating connections.
