Before retirement
our family traveled the New England area and when asked to we would teach at
schools about our people.
The first thing that
a family member would say when it was our turn to speak after a prayer.
A prayer to Creator
for a blessing for our gathering that day.
Please do not take
one person as the only way that our people held our ceremonies and our culture
get at least a second opinion.
We never wore our
regalia while teaching for two main reasons.
Our Regalia are not
costumes;
they are what our ancestors used to keep safe from the weather,
insects, branches and animals and so on, Clowns wear costumes,
only
‘non Native
Americans’
wear regalia for show!
2nd
It was a great way
to get curious students to start asking questions.
And
It was easier to
pass our ancestors tools and regalia around the gathering while speaking
