I found you on my tracker and noticed that you have not clicked on any of the answers on your search engine?

This might be because of a difference in spelling for what you were looking for or any number of reason?

Our ceremony (Sacred) is on a few of our sites and is Paw-paus which separates our ceremony from non native use of the word.

Smudging the correct way

http://mysmudgingblog.blogspot.com/2011/02/smudging-circle.html

Our ancestors were simple people so no need to confuse a question with a lot of long confusing words.

Tobacco as everything else on Mother Earth, is a gift from our Creator (Kiehtan).

Tobacco is an herb and our tobacco called (Kinnick-Kinnick) is just a mix of many herbs.

Herbs use in our ceremonies many sometimes change according to the area our people live in.

To answer your question, we use this gift of our tobacco from Kiehtan in every ceremony, Sacred or not because it is a gift from our Creator, what better way to show our love?

P.S.

Long before natives in your area needed to deal with the 'White Invaders' from the east, my people over on the east coast were being forced to travel west and many of my people settled in and around your area spreading the word of what was to come because of what was happening to our people.

You were looking for

Native American belief about the circle of life

And

Came to a few of our sites.

I am not sure if I can give you more than our past posting I only wanted to write because it is refreshing to find so many questions from the New England area and two today from my ancestors old stomping grounds in Connecticut?

Hope that some of the questions are from schools?

The one, of many things that I am still missing is the many trips to schools while teaching from 'Sand-Box' to 'Universities' about our ancestors and the land was the hundreds of good questions from teachers and students!

When the Ancestors looked to the sky what do you think that they saw?

A round moon and plenty of round stars, trees are rounded at the base and so on.

They found that while dancing at meetings and ceremonies, it was easier and took a lot less space if the dancing was in a circle and so on.

In New England the seasons are of a circle.

Summer, fall, winter and spring.

How did you like my introduction?

If you are an old traditionalist you will understand.

If you are a youngster or new to our sites you might be a little confused by my statement?

This is ok because you see, many, not all, Indians west of the Mississippi river still do not understand?

Some 25 or so years ago they came over to our villages, we had no reservation or nations, and decided to teach, more like belittle, our young into how we must only follow their way.

You thought that only the Euro-Americans did this did you?

Well you were wrong just look around your states in New England now and you will see the mistakes being carried out in "Modern New England Indian Country!"

So, what is this T I O T W C I?

The Invasion Of The Western Casino Indians!

This is simple to answer because only the Western Indians were at war with the United States Calvary.

There was no United States let alone a Calvary while we were being abused, swindled, assassinated and/or assimilated by our invaders!

Tribe to tribe or person to person used a Friendship Pipe at our ceremonies.

Yes I am a little bitter, no a lot bitter, because my land, the land of my ancestors has been over run by Euro-Americans plus Casino Indians and Wannabes and I will have to answer to my ancestors someday soon because they, my elders, spent my life time teaching and health sent me south.

The easiest, quickest and cheapest way for the states in New England and the United States of America to settle thousands of land disputes was to gather a few of these western, and wannabe Indians and some Euro-Americans, give them a little non-usable land, call the land a reservation, a west of the Mississippi river word and cast aside all true traditionalist that would not go against the ancestors.
