Welcome to the
visitor that came directly to one of our postings from Milwaukee Wisconsin
To
Herbs, Kinnick,
Kinnick is our Tobacco
As you may or may
not know, according to my elders, now ancestors, our people over in the east
coast (Mohiigan's) and yes as of lately our tribe has been given many names?
Our tribe came to
this land in the north eastern part of Indian country from around your area.
And because of the
abuse after first contact, many traveled back west.
Both to and from was
such a long time ago that tribes in and around your area may have some
different ceremonies by now?
However, for as far
back as my knowledge while picking my elders brains, our tobacco was always a
mix of many herbs, no chemicals, called Kinnick-Kinnick.
Because we are of a
Matriarch society, our Medicine women find, pick, clean and prepare the herb to
make ready for our Medicine man.
In other words,
'Chemical Cigarettes' are taboo and by using them in any type of our ceremony
is an insult to our people, your knowledge, any elder, anyone that you wish to gift and
most of all to Kiehtan our Creator!
I do hope that this
is of some help?
If not questions are
always welcome.
