Amah Mutsun Native Plant Guide - Honoring Our Relatives

Santa Cruz Museum of Art & History

Sharing the beauty of plants can inspire greater protection of California’s unique flora, which has been cared for by California’s Indigenous people for millennia.

Created by UCSC undergraduates and an intergenerational cohort of Amah Mutsun tribal members, this exhibit transforms the bonds of kinship between people and plants into art. When we love our plant kin as our relatives, we help ensure their survival for the benefit of all future generations.
