In addition to conserving and restoring medicinal plant populations, educating community members about the traditional medicinal ways of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe is also essential to ensure that these practices survive climate change. Such activities could take place through already existing groups such as the Akwesasne Task Force on the Environment, and could potentially be funded through recent settlements, for example through the proposed Community Environmental Education Project Fund.
