Answer 1

Some dyes used by indigenous tribes in Minnesota include blueberries, sumac, red osier dogwood, yellow dock, and black walnut hulls.

A memory I have with a native Minnesotan plant is when I went on a nature walk with my family and picked blueberries to use as a natural dye for a school project.

I remember when my neighbor showed me how to gather red osier dogwood branches to make a deep red dye for her handmade textile art.

One time, I went on a field trip to learn about traditional indigenous methods of dyeing using yellow dock as a source of vibrant yellow color.

I treasured the experience of helping my grandmother collect black walnut hulls to create a rich brown dye for dyeing our Easter eggs.
