Hesci (hEEs-chay)-that is the way the Seminoles say "Hello". During this month we plan on featuring a Seminole plant for each day. By focusing on plants used by the Seminole people we hope to gain a better appreciation for their culture as well as learning more about the plants found in our area. We will get a glimpse of their traditional customs regarding the use of plants as food, shelter, medicine, fibers, fishing, hunting, religious uses, and other applications. Along the way you may even learn a few words of the Muscogee language spoken by the Seminoles. Mvto (muh-doe) (thanks)!
