Welcome
to our visitor from
Woodbury/Nonnewaug High School
In
Woodbury,
Connecticut
To
One of
our blog postings about our culture.
In
this case,
(Weddings).
Native
American Wedding Ceremony (Traditional)
06/09/2011
Do you
offer tobacco at a Native American wedding?
Yes!
A good
Traditional Spiritual Leader uses a lot of tobacco
(Kinnick
~ Kinnick).
First
thing my long time followers might have notices about this post is that I
allowed a picture with the word chief in it.
Something
that, for the most part, is Taboo to every Traditionalist.
However
In
this case, this is a school in the area of my ancestors and any Traditionalist
Elder can adopt a school and put the students to work.
Remember
In our
culture a chief is a temporary position and only a chief by appointment
by a
'Head Clan Mother'
or the
Shechaim (Sachem).
I now
charge the Students
(Chiefs),
to learn why they now have the right
to be called
a chief.
Both
of the photos are of my last wedding
to a couple and their parents,
four very
dear people of the clan,
before my retirement
and
our move south for my health.
The second is
Donna
Donna
and
Yours Truly.
