Of course there are many more ‘Smudging Ceremonies’ then shown on this one site.

However, this site was using these three to make a point.

As you have seen while reading this site we use smudging in at least two of our ceremonies (pow-wow and Pau-paus).

These two sites might be helpful?

Speaking of

‘Making a Point.’

I happened across a discrepancy on a site West of the Mississippi river about Indian Country in your area while looking for your town, that you might wish to check into someday?

Maybe not, because this person or persons is just trying to sell you a book!

By our count there were toughly 500,000 tribes on our land.

Native American Country (Mother Earth),  and roughly half of them were East of the Mississippi river.
