Tobacco (Herbs) should only be used as a gift

Eastern Woodland American Native Tobacco as a gift offering to Creator in prayer.

How and when to present a gift of tobacco to a Traditional American native?

Any and every time that one wishes to speak with an elder and/or honor an elder it should be by American native tobacco (Kinnick-Kinnick) gift.

Yes, Kinnick- Kinnick in our Friendship pipes is a gift from Creator!

Please remember, there is nothing sacred about any chemical, they are all poison so, what you would be saying if gifting tobacco to this person is, I poison you!

How much is enough tobacco to present as a gift?

How much is not as important as how one gives the gift.

First make sure that the tobacco is Eastern Woodland herb, Kinnick-Kinnick, and then remind the receiver that this gift came from Mother Earth.

Because it did come from Mother Earth it would be nice if it were wrapped in red, why red? Pouch.

Red represents women or Pouch as Mother Earth.

What is American Native Kinnick-Kinnick?

Kinnick-Kinnick is herbs collected from Mother Earth with prayer of thanks to Creator and Mother Earth!

If no Spiritual blessing herbs may be bought and sold, once it has gone through its sacred ceremony, it is a free gift!

My ancestors were simple common sense people.

Their tobacco was grown without chemicals, the ancestors did not need them!

Today our elders know that cigarettes cause cancer, even if they smoke, someone that they know and love has died a horrible death from this cancer.

Please do not insult them by an offering of a cancer causing cigarette.

Will you please use Kinnick~ Kinnick (herbs)?
