Participants will learn how to develop skills and abilities required to become a midwife by 18th century rural community standards. Identifying medicinal plants and preparing simple remedies will be demonstrated. These guided hands-on activities will focus on keeping ‘cool’ and will help to better understand the role of women during colonial times.
