Tanya Gluvakov founded Roots and Raven in 2021 after she and her children struggled with depression during the pandemic.
Gluvakov learned about her Indigenous culture and natural medicinal herbs from her grandmother and other members of her community (Six Nations of the Grand River- First Nations). The teachings that have stuck with her the most were the importance of appreciation and understanding of the earth and nature, she says.
Roots and Ravens’ goal is to provide others with access to fresh medicinal herbs and the knowledge to grow them. ELMNT FM spoke with Gluvakov to learn more.
