The Illinois Bicentennial is an important marker for the history of Illinois citizens. A narrative that is often overlooked in history and science is that of Native Americans. To remedy this and enrich the Bicentennial celebration, C2ST, in partnership with the Trickster Gallery, Chicago City Markets and the Mitchell Museum, is hosting an Indigenous Science program. This program will be made up of a panel of qualified experts in ethnobotany, sustainability, and conservation. The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A session with the audience and an interactive exhibit with examples of medicinal plants and herbs from the Trickster Gallery’s garden collection.

Event Details

The program will be held in Preston Bradley Hall, up the main stairs from the Washington Street Entrance. Doors open at 5:30 pm, program start is at 6pm. A handicap accessible entrance to the Chicago Cultural Center is located at 77 E Randolph on the north side of the building.
