(Traditional) Native American Wedding Ceremony

Welcome Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

Welcome Fort Saskatchewan Canada

asking your question,

Do you offer tobacco at a native American wedding?

Yes!

Remember

A good Traditional Spiritual leader uses a lot of tobacco (Kinnick-Kinnick) and charges you nothing for the service, so yes a good traditional spiritual leader is always in need of the herbs (Kinnick~ Kinnick).

One should also remember that a tobacco gift given the correct way is as with any ceremony a prayer for a blessing to the person receiving your gift from your Creator, so you can gift these herbs

(Kinnick- Kinnick), anytime that you feel the need to.

Because a traditional native American is always giving out these herbs, receiving these herbs is a blessing to the pocket book of the traditional native American?

Remember our gift given tobacco is Kinnick~ Kinnick!

Kinnick~ Kinnick.

Words from a native American wedding ceremony?

At a time when the couple is ready and the wedding party is set around the prayer alter each in turn may exchange their love and vowels to each other, the female has the choice as to who will start first.

The Spiritual leader performing the blessed event, in our tribe, will first speak to Creator in our tongue, then English for each section of the wedding ceremony.

The words chosen by the couple with the acceptance are not as important as the words by the couple and the tribal sacred words from the Spiritual leader to the couple and Creator, what the words are of course is a very guarded secret sacred ceremony.

The Eastern Woodland American Native Wedding Ceremony, this must be said because this is only speaking about our people.

There are still over 500 tribes in Indian Country

That have permission to be recognized and at least as many that the government is still trying to eliminate by not recognizing.

there are about 500 ways they may have to their native weddings, I have been to many of them.

Our wedding ceremony, a Traditional Wedding, should be something like many of the others however, it is not like the Funeral ceremony, because the public may enjoy the complete ceremony with the permission of the couple.

The beginning and ending prayer, like most sacred prayers should never be recorded, this is the leader and the couples request for marriage to Creator and thanks to Creator after the ceremony.

The prayer can be filmed just not the words. Only the Spiritual leader and the couple need the Creators blessing at the beginning, everyone will be blessed by Creator at the end of the ceremony.

If you are being groomed for our ceremony please understand, this can take from a few days to at least a month.

By studying correctly you will knowing that you will be blessed, remember, only Creator can bless!

Someone, in the favor with the couple, should gift a blanket, this person must also attend at least some of the pre ceremony.

Everyone gifting at the time of and with the permission of the Spiritual leader and the couple should attend at least some of the pre ceremony.

Sometimes the families and/or friends wish to gift a Turtle Rattle, Regalia, Headpiece, Sage, Sweet grass, and/or Tobacco for the ceremony.

As with the funeral ceremony, both families can asked to help with the meal after.

Anyone asked to, can join in the meal and whatever plans after the wedding.

Native American pre marriage ceremonies

The pre marriage meetings for our people is not a requirement for marriage, it is a request from the spiritual leader.

At this meeting the couple and any member of the soon to be wedding, will learn everything that will take place on that blessed day, the couple and any person directly involved will then know what is expected of them by Creator during the wedding.

The couple will learn where to stand and why, will learn about the regalia and why it is used and all of the sacred blessings from Creator through your ancestors.

That said, please remember, whatever happens during the wedding will not be judged, after all it is a fun, loving, first day for the rest of your lives.

Can you re-gift native tobacco offerings

To one of our posting on Traditional Native American Gifting.

Tobacco (Herbs) as a Traditional Native American Gift

http://mysmudgingblog.blogspot.com/2011/04/tobacco-as-traditional-native-american.html

While looking for information about,

" Can you re-gift native tobacco offerings?"

The short answer is YES of course you can.

If you have ever been to any of our Websites and/or Blogs you know by now that a short answer from Shechaim Ohjieshan is only the beginning.

:-)

All gifts are given to you through Mother Earth from your Creator, so we believe that Creator smiles when you gift any gift?

Our Sacred Tobacco is a mixture of herbs we call Kinnick-Kinnick.

Remember if you will that this site and all of our websites and blogs are from the teaching of the ancestors in and around The New England Area.

That said, also remember that not one of our ancestors had a border to keep them from traveling north and south of what we now call the

' Canada/United States Border'!

http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=canada%2funited+states+border'&qpvt=Canada%2fUnited+States+Border%27&qpvt=Canada%2fUnited+States+Border%27&FORM=IGRE

And our people did travel north, south, east and west to visit many friends in other tribes.

As for what to say, it does not matter much as long as you are

 walking with your Creator?

So just pray on it?

Hillary is the problem with the "Middle-Class!"

The $10.00 bill is not the only thing in this country in need of replacement?

It is time for "Real Change in this Government, in the United States of America!"

And another "old white man preaching the same old Malarkey (Double-Talk) will not do this!"

"Old White Men have controlled the Federal Government long enough people?

239 years too long!

My tribe had been a Matriarch Society Tribe for long before recorded time and
until the "WHITE MAN" came and destroyed it, our tribe worked very well thank-you.

It is time to give this government over to our women, let's face it, they can do no worse?

At this time Hillary is the best that we have?

My proof?

All of the "White Men in public office Hate Her!"

People the likes of Senator Bernie Sanders want you to think that,

Hillary is the problem with "Gun control!"

Hillary is the problem and "enough is enough"

Hillary is the problem with "Old While Women!"

Hillary is the problem with the words "Men fantasize about abusing women and women fantasize about being raped!"

https://sachemspeaks.wordpress.com/2015/06/15/women/

Hillary is the problem with the past 15 years of the "DO NOTHING CONGRESS!"

Bernie Sanders in Iowa stated that the reason why he is doing so well in the polls is that people are fed up with no movement for the Middle-Class?

Bernie, what does any of this have to do with Hillary Clinton?

She has not been in this,

"Do Nothing Congress",

the place that makes laws, for many, many years?

YOU HAVE!

Bernard "Bernie" Sanders (born September 8, 1941 has been in the Senate for 15 plus years (January 3, 2007).

This, my friends is the reason for our problem,

 

OLD WHITE MEN still controlling this country!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders

Promising, Promising, Promising, since running for this office?

Same Old, Same Old, Same Old, lying half truths!

Bernie Sanders states, "I will build the Middle-Class,"

How Bernie?

How can a president re-build the middle-class without the help from a stagnating congress?

If you do not believe men ask President Obama?

Another half-truth lie!

"This is pro-Bernie Sanders and pro a message that says enough is enough."?

This country and our government belong to all of us, not just a handful of very wealthy people,” he told ABC’s Martha Raddatz

Then why, for the past 15 years did you do nothing about this?

And have the audacity (boldness) to claim it and them as their own?

Woman describes difficulty living without portable oxygen

Health insurance Humana cannot find oxygen portable unit for Holy Olier

Posted: 2:31 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 20, 2015

Only because she is a Medicaid/Medicare patient!

There are many providers in Florida and through-out the south only our congress has squashed Social Security, Medicaid and Medicare so much that they no longer pay for much needed supplies!

You can bet dollar for dollar that all of our government officials can get portable oxygen as needed in less than a day?

Woman trapped in own home after oxygen tank supplier goes under

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. —

An Orange County woman who uses an oxygen tank to survive said she's been stuck in her house for weeks.

Holly Olier told Channel 9's Deneige Broom that one of the state's biggest suppliers of health care equipment for Medicaid and Medicare patients pulled out of the business and left thousands hanging in the balance.

Olier has Stage 3 lung disease and for the last 15 years has needed a concentrator that plugs into a wall, or portable oxygen tanks to help her breathe.

http://www.wftv.com/news/news/local/woman-trapped-own-home-after-oxygen-tank-supplier-/nnNbx/

For 10 days, Olier has been unable to get portable oxygen tanks. She has an electric device, but she can travel only inside her home as far as the cord lets her.

"If I don't have this, I (can only) take three or four steps," she said.
