Smudging to me is a talk (Prayer), with Kiehtan (Creator) because after all friends, ‘nothing gets done’ without the blessing from Kiehtan (Creator)!

One of my mentors a regular and an elder of my grandfather meetings was Chief Hatchet a Ramapough Wappinger from Carmel New York, not of the people in New Jersey although we did meet them a few time on the powwow trail.

Up until 1947 our Smudging was done with herbs called Kinnick-kinnick, 
no need of a fire.

My first "Keeper of the Fire" was also with Elder Chief Hatchet as my teacher (1950).

Our president, I use this tern loosely, is looking for funds to build a Canadian wall?

Too late Canada is already building one!

Vicente Fox

This country is looking to trade, name your price!



We tried to get a trade with Canada, I didn't understand a word of their reply, but I think that it was NO!

This does not happen very often but I am at a loss for words?

I do remember the first time I ever heard the ancestors name for the leader of our people was at my first gathering (Paw-paus) in 1946 
(Shechaim), 
not unlike an important city in the past of the Israelite fight to survive, 

(Shechem).

I know far too little about the ceremonies of the Israelite people.

I do believe that we have thing in our past alike like According to the religious narrative of the Hebrew Bible, the Israelites' origin is traced back to the Biblical patriarchs and matriarchs Abraham and his wife Sarah.

I am however, always open to learn more.
That goes both ways, I am always open to answering questions?

Welcome Arizona



Welcome to our visitor from Arizona
To
Our posting about
PGreensboro North Carolina

Please keep in mind that we have never and will never go into the many sacred ceremonies in writings because they are Sacred Ceremonies.

The Four Corners is one of the many ceremonies performed by the Head Clan Mother with the blessings of Creator and direction of a Sachem Chief (Shechaim Ohjieshan).


At that point Head Clan Mother is in charge of how, what and who within the circle.


This ceremony could be for weddings, births, deaths, naming, and many more.

Once the Shechaim is informed about a ceremony the Head Clan Mother arranges a circle with her clan mothers in a four corner position  depending on which ceremony she needs to perform.

Everything in an American Native's ( Native American) culture is with the circle of life or within a circle (our church-'Chachu').

, Mother Earth, Powwow circle, Paw~ paus circle, Fire circle, Prayer circle, even our Alters are in a circle (our church-'Chachu').

Posting like this one keeps coming up on my tracker so I would like to keep with my answering.

Remember that you are as far west as you can get without getting your feet wet and I am as far east as I can get without getting my feet wet, with thousands of tribes in-between.

However, you did come to my tracker looking for an answer so I will give the best answer as it applies to our people over on the East coast.

First if I may, the tribes over on this coast did not use Sage or sweet grass until a visit to tribes over in the plains.

Our ancestors use herbs called (Kinnick-Kinnick).
