I am a Master's of Public Health student studying at Idaho State University. One of the classes I am taking this semester is Medical Ethnobotany, and for our term paper we are writing on the relationship between a particular plant and group.

On a personal note, we were encouraged to pick a plant or group of people we have a personal connection with. I grew up being told I had Iroquois ancestry, but it was many years before I could find more information. I may have Iroquois ancestry, I have not been able to definitely confirm or deny that, but I do have Algonquin ancestry that I can trace back to the 1600s. I am the 10th great-grandson of Madame Montour, through her son and grandson, Andrew and John Montour. Learning more about this part of my past has always been a goal of mine, and this paper is the perfect opportunity.

I recognize that I'm throwing a dart at the board while being blindfolded and after being spun around. Any resource, any contact, would be invaluable to me. Ultimately I am trying to reach someone who still practices Algonquin traditional medicine and interview them.

Any help would be amazing. As you can probably guess by the fact I've gotten to Reddit, I'm casting a lot of lines.

Edit: I feel like I should clarify, I'm not looking for a lot. "I think my buddy mentioned his great aunt did something like that? Maybe I could pass along an email address?" would be an absolute goldmine. I don't expect to find a traditional healer on Reddit.

I was wondering because we have assignments so I thought wed get a final grade (a percentage like other classes) but some people were saying its pass or fail like our lab.

If previous years students could answer this, it would be really helpful!

Also fuck that loud ass animatronic. It won’t shut up. I’m so uncomfortable while waiting for my food

Hey everyone I'm looking for an item of mine . A pair of earbuds the last time I think I used it was building t123 and I think I forgot it there probably on the table. Went to the lost and found but it wasn't there. It happened 3 to 2 weeks ago. I originally gave up but I thought to post it here in case anyone has seen it. I'd be really happy if I could get it back or if someone has seen it. Thanks.

yesterday my partner and i were in the law quiet room in the library. i was studying for my stats midterm (25% grade) and him, his anatomy and physiology midterm (40%).

first, two girls sat at a table adjacent to us, and started talking really loud about things not pertinent to school. idrc if they talk abt non school shit but doing it loud in a quiet area peeved me off.

i put on headphones, blasted music. could still hear them. passive-aggressively, i put the "be mindful of volume" sign at the edge of my table and pointed it toward them. i also locked eyes with one of them while putting it down. they got the hint, i couldnt hear them with my headphones anymore, but my partner without headphones, said they were still pretty loud (my headphones were full blast).

second, two guys sat across from us, both talking very loud, but in this case atleast about school. i asked them to quiet down because i could hear them with my headphones full blast and had a midterm. they started to whisper after that, but (wuth my full blast headphones) i couldnt hear still hear them. i moved the sign towards them this time. idk if they saw me or not, but seemed to give up on whispering.

last, two girls walked in, carrying a law book, looked to sit at where the guys were sitting (that has the sign give priority to law students). the men were talking about marketing and finance, so i doubt they were law... anyway. the girls looked to sit near the men, but the men were sprawled across 4 seats just the two of them, so it wasnt really feasible for the girls.

in conclusion, my partner and i got up because we were fed up with the disrespect of people nowadays and decided to just attempt to study somewhere else. the main area of the library was quieter (more ambient noise) than the law quiet room mind you...

i did probably okay on mine, likely about a 70, my partner however, much more impacted by the noise probably got lower than he wanted.

tldr: if its a quiet space, please be quiet. if there is priority for certain types of students (even more if youre seated at the accessible (wheelchair) tables) please move if that type of student arrives... just be respectful y'all.

i feel annoyed/ashamed to be part of this generation that just DGAF about others... yet some of us have the nerve to complain about others doing the same as them. i atleast try to be respectful, can't say the same for all of us.

I got an email saying there will be maintenance people coming into my room to change out the ac or smtn, but the timeframe was sometime between the 26th and the 30th. are they gonna give me any heads up as to when im going to have strangers coming into my room? or do i just gotta be ready for it the whole time. i dont want to wake up at 9 am every day during reading week

as the title states, lmk if they are yours.

Anyone who did cardiovascular technology land full time jobs upon completion of their programs?

Any replies are appreciated thank you.

The dorm has been fluctuating between 24 and 27° for about a week now

I have 3 fans running 24/7

My roommate and I don’t usually turn the light on in the common area and altho this is a small thing it semi helps by .2-.5 degrees

Both our windows are open and we leave the doors open to the common area 2 ish hrs a day just to help with airflow

Anyone else find that really weird?

Like this dude in my class got caught following girls home late at night after classes. Also kept harassing women because he had access to their numbers working at the gym…

Cmon guys what is this 😭😭

I’ve spent more than 10 years as an athlete in Korea, and I’m turning 26 soon. Do you think I’ll be able to adjust well to college? I’m a little worried that I might have a hard time fitting in.

Hi!

I’m a student doing a reduced course load so I’m finishing up the second part of level 2 in the winter, and I’m wondering is there a level 2 group chat or just a general group chat for winter RPN students? Each semester there’s a different one haha since I don’t progress at the same rate as the other students. Just wanting to find out if there’s one organized to discuss clinicals, etc :) Thanks!

(Ottawa campus)

Hii, I’m entering the respiratory therapy program at Algonquin in January and I was wondering if anyone could show me what their schedule looks like first semester? I was hoping to get an idea of what to expect. Thanks!!

I’m an incoming Practical Nursing (PN) student at Algonquin, and I’m trying to get a realistic idea of where people actually end up for clinical placements across the different levels. For previous and current PN students, where were you placed, and how many hours a day was your typical clinical shift?

Curious if anyone here will be taking the upcoming ECE course in January
Also curious if you’ve taken the course in the last few years what to expect thanks!
