How much tobacco
offering to elder for inipi
Welcome Slocan
British Columbia Canada
Although you are
quite a ways up north from my people, your people and my people did travel
north and south long before someone places a "Border" between our
people?
I would like to step
out on a limb, so to speak, and give you our answer to your question if I may?
Remembering that our
people used herbs now called tobacco long before chemicals were placed into
modern tobacco just to get people addicted to smoke and we call this our
tobacco (Kinnick, Kinnick) or a group of herbs?
OK
How much tobacco
offering to an Elder presiding over a "Sacred Sweat (Sweat-Lodge) Inipi?
First, one must
never, never be forced to pay for any true traditional ceremony in our culture,
never.
That said, this
Elder more than likely uses a lot of his Kinnick-Kinnick through the year so a
pouch before the ceremony, any ceremony is always appreciated my friend.
