SUMMARY:Healing Traditions of Acadiana -- From Prayers to Plants: how plant remedies are used in traitement
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Dana David Gravot highlights a local understanding of traitement\, or treatment as it is called in English\, a healing tradition specific to Francophone Louisiana. After the Acadian resettlement in Louisiana—a Spanish colony at the time—the Cajuns developed a unique\, blended culture in response to both a physical environment (which included swamps\, bayous\, marshes\, and prairies) and a social environment that mixed continental and Caribbean French peoples\, Germans\, Spaniards\, Indigenous peoples\, and African and Anglo-Americans. Sharing the need for medical attention\, the practice of traitement—and the importance of traiteurs—was born. The presentation will highlight uses of local plants to address illnesses.
