Welcome to
Minnetonka, Minnesota
To
A Native American
(Indian) Soaugi (Funeral)

We have a few
sites/blogs on this if you are interested.
First as explained
to our friends in Tacoma, Washington about
”Our Wedding
Ceremony (Traditional)”
There are around 1330
miles as the crow flies
from Minnetonka, Minnesota to our little village
over on the east coast.
So I am sure
that you understand that culture and ceremonies may differ some?
Just as this is
true, customs like tobacco and what is and is not ‘Sacred’ may also?
I love your photo on
your website
because to our people, all birds of Pay are Sacred
and the Owl to our
people is no exception!
Our tobacco,
although included is,
Kinnick-Kinnick, a
mix of many herbs along with tobacco, never a cigarette!
We firmly believe
that the use of cigarettes in any of our ceremony,
especially a 'Scared
Ceremony' is an insult to your Creator!
While it is true
that Creator allowed ‘creation’ to make chemicals,
it is also true that
because humans are allowed our own free will,
one can also jump
off of the 10th avenue Bridge if so inclined?
Either way each will
shorten your life!
