Gifting by an American Native to an American Native.


The Traditional Eastern Woodland Native American ( American Native) way of gifting is not all that complicated when you think about it.

If one is not sure of who, what, when, where or how to gift, side with caution.

Get some Kinnick, Kinnick (herbs) placed into a small red pouch, walk up to the person that you wish to gift and from your left hand to that persons left hand, give that gift.

Now, if you have another gift in mind other then the herbs, explain this other gift and make the offer at the time.

For your gift, the herbs can be ones found growing around where ever you happen to be at the time and have been the type that have grown for years, Google herbs in the area.

Or if you wish, just go out and buy some.

American Natives throughout the years have found the your heart is more to your left side then you're right, so the left hand is the closest to your heart, this gift therefore comes from your heart.

Who to gift, anyone that you wish to gift.

What to gift, after the herbs, anything that you own and wish to gift.

When to gift, sometime after you decide to gift and are around the person you wish to gift, if possible this person should be alone at the time of gifting.

Where to gift, anyplace that is convenient for both at the time of gift giving.

How to gift, always from your heart to that persons heart.

Remember, Traditional Natives do not hoard, they may keep for a time if it is personal, it seems to be built into our gene's that Creator gifted to us freely therefore we wish to gift freely,

If you do not what your gift given away by the receiver of that gift, better not to gift in the first place.
