Jonah Louis Eugene Hill, a member of the Hopi Tobacco/Rabbit Clan, is an enthobotanist currently apprenticing with Phyllis Hogan in Flagstaff.  His focus is identifying medicinal plants and how to use them properly. It is his belief that if we start to reintroduce the knowledge of how to properly use and collect plants in a sustainable and respectful way to our younger generations, we can prevent further loss of valuable knowledge and to ensure that our way of life and culture remains with us for hundreds of years to come.  Jonah is also a Master Naturalist, Master Watershed Steward, and a Project Learning Tree educator, helping grade-school level children focus on nature and how they can be productive members in helping to preserve our natural resources.

In his Hopi community, surrounded by multi-hued mesas, washes, valleys, and the boundless sky, he and his siblings learned that everything around us contains its own life force and positive and negative energies.   This upbringing also influences his artwork, which he uses to directly teach the various intricacies of the Hopi culture and religion through stories and symbolism.
