About the author

LoriAnn Bird is an Indigenous Métis herbalist and educator with a deep knowledge of wild, medicinal, and edible plants. She is a descendant from the T’suu tina, Dene, Cree, Nipissing, and Anishinaabe Peoples, mixed with French, Swedish and Celtic ancestry. She was born and raised on the lands of the Squamish people, near Vancouver, Canada, overlooking the Salish Sea on the Pacific Northwest Coast of Turtle Island.
Through Indigenous ways of knowing and pedagogies, LoriAnn leads people of diverse backgrounds in reconnecting to the Earth’s wisdom. LoriAnn created Earth Awareness Realized Through Health and Company in 2013 to share First People’s perspectives on wild, edible, and medicinal plants. Her practices include plant identification walks, illustration and plant medicine workshops, homemade products for the skin, consulting on garden design, and public speaking.
In 2022 LoriAnn and her friend Laura Cisneros founded InHarmony InNature Collective to reclaim and share ancient arts, like dreaming, the cosmos, moon cycle gardening, medicine making, and more. She walks gently and teaches primarily on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples, as well as neighboring Coast Salish nations.
