Gifting to a Lakota native American
A Comment found on one of my teaching
blog posts.
What would be a good gift to give a
Lakota native American in exchange for a feather and sage he gave me? I was
thinking an elk shed?

Welcome and thank you to the Anonymous
visitor and for your question.
First please understand that I am not
Lakota and pray that you will be able to find a Lakota Elder in your area.
I also do not know why you received an
Eagle feather?
Guessing that it was an Eagle?

That said, a proper gift, in my tribe,
would always be tobacco (Kinnick, Kinnick).
One could only hope that you backed away
in respect and humility after receiving your gift?
This should suffice for any true traditional gift giver.
However, if you still feel the need to give your gift, Kinnick, Kinnick is always the correct answer from me.
