Want another example of what the ancestors were always upset about?

Well I'm going to give it to you anyway.

Even a real good site about American natives throughout Indian country are in need of a little more studying about the original people's of the New England area?

Looking for clan mother for eastern woodland?

To my posting at

What is an Eastern Woodland Sweat?

http://sachemspeaks.wordpress.com/2012/06/25/what-is-an-eastern-woodland-sweat/

I do not know why of all my sites about Clan Mother, why Google sent you to this one?

You also ended up on this one

Clan Mother/Adoption into a tribe.

While looking around on your Bing search engine I notice another website

American Indian Tribal Directory

About Indians.org - AIHF

The American Indian Heritage Foundation was established to provide relief services to Indian people nationwide and to build bridges of understanding and friendship between Indian and non-Indian people.

Under the umbrella of the National Heritage Foundation, Princess Pale Moon founded the American Indian Heritage Foundation (AIHF) in 1973.

And this one

Mohiingans/Mohicans/Mohegan's are from the same area in New York as the Mohawk, Seneca, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga and Tuscarora tribes.

Three types of dwellings, Tipi's about a thousand years ago to follow the Buffalo, while the Buffalo was still east of the Mississippi river, Round and Longhouse and since the internet Round is now called Wigwams?

Only the Iroquois people were lead only by a Head Clan Mother and I am not so sure that this is entirely correct from the beginning?

One must always remember that there were thousands of tribes before first contact and only a hand full were of the Iroquois tribe.

Things like this might seem picky to the unknowing however, this is why so many bad things sneak into our culture, because they have not been nipped in the bud from the beginning of the mistakes!

Welcome to the visitor from a neighbor visitor from the city of Westerly Rhode Island

To my old tripod website

http://walkingfox.tripod.com/id11.html

Because tripod changed/sold the good website and opened something else?

I, along with millions of others, no longer have control of the site.

However, you may wish to try a few of my better sites/blogs?

In the mean time a few helping hints might help?

 The Circle is the oldest symbol of the world.

The Circle is a reminder of our connections to Mother Earth.

The sun, mood and planets travel in circles.

The Circle is the symbol of the heartbeat of all people.

Because of this and a notice that life itself is a circle, dead to live back to death.

The four seasons, summer, fall, winter, spring and so on.

 

 

Keeper of the Fire After Grand Entry

Assuming that the fire is now started and Grand Entry, Flag song, Veterans honor and so forth are now going on.

Fire Keeper, not to be confused with the Keeper of the Circle unless one person is assigned to do both, now becomes an invisible, for lack of an English word, fire feeder, to me the most important job or job of joy during the gathering, sitting with Kiehtan?

If everything from my last posting is completed correctly and we are talking Paw paus and some earlier powwows, your circle is now ready for the Firekeeper prayers for a blessing from Kiehtan and a visit.

 

Firekeeper/Keeper of the Circle

http://sachemspeaks.wordpress.com/2013/09/30/firekeeper/

 

Kiehtan has come to visit with the people so the Firekeeper and assistants must keep the fire going for the length of the Paw-paus or powwow.

 The first thing we must understand before going any further would be that only Creator can bless anyone or anything, I cannot emphasize this enough times!

Only Creator (Kiehtan) can bless.

Blessings come down to Mother Earth, never up from her or any creations!

If the smudging of the circle is done correctly you should feel a peace of mind and a need to fellowship while in your circle.

Remember the bucket of shame at the east from the last posting?

You were asked, if you wanted, to put all bad thoughts into this bucket and Kiehtan removed them so now stand by for your blessing, if you are a believer?

My three favorite words are “Before first contact.”

Paw-paus fire, as stated in earlier postings is at the west out on the grounds someplace convenient so now smudging can commence without disturbing dancers and attendants.

For many years after this first contact the fire was also in the west because as you may know if you have been to these newer age gatherings, the East is clogged up for far too long while the head veteran is lining up the flags and veterans, dancers are making ready to enter and many others are standing around in the way waiting for their time to be smudged.

This cannot look good to outsider visitors?

Medicine man, Clan leader, Clan Mother and the Shechaim (Sachem)

 

Welcome to the visitor from the city of North Las Vegas Nevada

To a few of my teaching sites about American Natives.

While looking for

"war what did the medicine man clan leader clan mother and sachem do"?

I believe that what you are looking for is some information on

What did the Medicine man, Clan leader, Clan Mother and the Shechaim (Sachem) do during a war?

Remember I can only respond to a question like this with what I know about my people, the indigenous peoples of the New England and surrounding areas.

Native tribes in and around Nevada may have different answers for the same question?

Clan Mother ~ The duties of a clan mother of an Indian tribe? http://sachemspeaks.wordpress.com/2013/02/06/the-duties-of-a-clan-mother-of-an-indian-tribe/

 

So our Head Clan Mother would be the correct person to speak to about going to or coming from war/battles.

Head Clan Mother filters out complains to discuss with Shechaim.

Clan Leader ~  (all clan mothers) leader- Head Clan Mother.

Medicine man ~  would always be on the front line caring for the wounded from either side, most of the time not harmed for fear of retaliation from Kiehtan (Creator), plus each side knows that a Medicine man is not allowed to pick and choose who to help.

The War Chief, under direct orders is to supply four of the best warriors for a protection of the Medicine man.

Shechaim (Sachem) ~  is the only tribal member allowed to choose war or no war therefore must always be within sight of the frontlines and many time at the frontlines during a battle and the war.

War Chief and all of the warriors keep a keen eye on the movements of their Shechaim at all times.

Hope that this answers your question?

Thank you and glad to have visitors from our neighbors up north however please remember that you are in Canada and that cultures may be a little different between countries and tribes.

For instance we use Kinnick- Kinnick for all of our ceremonies, although we now often include sage with this mixed herbal mixture?
