    2: For Zora

    During this episode, we're going to take a lil' visit to Eatonville, FL, home of famed author Zora Neale Hurston. I used a variety of resources to create this episode including Native Land Maps (https://native-land.ca/), The Republic of Timucua, and Seminole Tribe of Florida. Additionally this website provided context on Indigenous and African American history (https://otherworldlyoracle.com/old-florida-folk-magic/). Additional Eatonville resources are: The Town of Eatonville, Association to Preserve the Eatonville Community, Inc., The Town That Freedom Built, Eatonville, Florida: A Historic Town Sets its Eyes on the Future, Central Florida Roadtrip | Eatonville/Maitland, are Eatonville: The Oldest Black Town in America. Zora Neale Hurston materials mentioned were In Search of Zora, ZORA! Festival, Zora Neale Hurston on Florida Food: Recipes, Remedies & Simple Pleasures by Frederick Douglass Opie, and assorted books by Zora including by the author including: Mules and Men, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Dust Tracks on a Road, and Barracon. The book I used on saw palmetto is Working the Roots: 400 Over 400 Years of Traditional African-American Healing by Michele E. Lee. I used VeryWell Health to look at uses and side effects (https://www.verywellhealth.com/the-benefits-of-saw-palmetto-88334).
