Join the Missouri Prairie Foundation and Kent H. Sanmann, Natural Resources Instructor with The College of the Muscogee Nation, for a webinar on the historical and contemporary importance of river cane to Native Americans, particularly the tribes in the Southeast. Hear about current restoration efforts within the Muscogee Nation to return river cane to its critical role as a keystone species in riparian areas, and how this native plant mitigates many of the water quality issues within the Nation. River cane’s potential for hydrocarbon remediation and carbon sequestration will be discussed, as well as conservation efforts presently underway to safeguard access to this all-star plant for indigenous cultural practices for many generations to come.
