Today we visited the Cabrillo National Monument on the tip of the Point Loma peninsula. It was an incredibly beautiful San Diego day. We hiked down the Bayside Trail and identified many native plants. We discovered how the Kumeyaay Indians traditionally used these plants.
Imagine you are Kumeyaay Indian living a hundred years ago. What would you do if you had a toothache? Here's a short video that shows some of the plants we found...some are even described by our friends...and how the Kumeyaay would treat a toothache.

The Flat-Top Buck Weat was a very popular plant that the native indians of San Diego used.The black sage was a plant that hunters used.This was a very fun fieldtrip!
