Thank-you Mother Earth

Thank-you Mother Earth

for your care

of

we your children

Today is (Earth Day)

Can we at least think of ways to help

 care for our mother,

 Mother Earth?

Today.

Soaking up the sun

Look at this photo,

Please.

Solar Panels out in a

 (Not used wasteland)

In a circle

With the power in the center to send your electricity to you.

Could this be a take-off of a Native American (Eastern)
Sacred Circle with Creator in the center (Heart) of the circle?

The Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project

near

Tonopah, Nevada

File this one under

‘Massive industrial sites that become unintentional public art when seen from the right perspective.’

That perspective comes via a single-engine plane flying over the southwestern edge of Nevada, near the town of Tonopah.

This is where the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project harvests the bountiful sunshine in the region, converting and storing it as energy that is distributed to homes through the Nevada Power Company.

The power plant has been operating since September 2015.

Florida did not run out of rain.

It is called

Climate Changing!

Native American Wedding Ceremony (Traditional)

06/09/2011

http://mysmudgingblog.blogspot.com/2011/06/traditional-native-american-wedding.html

Do you offer tobacco at a Native American wedding?

Yes!

A good Traditional Spiritual Leader uses a lot of tobacco

(Kinnick ~ Kinnick).

First thing my long time followers might have notices about this post is that I allowed a picture with the word chief in it.

Something that, for the most part, is Taboo to every Traditionalist.

However

In this case, this is a school in the area of my ancestors and any Traditionalist Elder can adopt a school and put the students to work.

Remember

In our culture a chief is a temporary position and only a chief by appointment

by a

'Head Clan Mother'

or the

 Shechaim (Sachem).

I now charge the Students

(Chiefs),

 to learn why they now have the right

to be called a chief.

Both of the photos are of my last wedding

to a couple and their parents,

four very dear people of the clan,

before my retirement

and

our move south for my health.

The second is
Donna

and

Yours Truly.

Tobacco (Herbs) as a Traditional Native American Gift.

04/08/2011

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

We have been too I. U. for a number of gathering and found them to be

a 'milting pot' of tribal gatherings

From the North, South, East and Western Culture.

So

Remember while visiting

and of course,

 all are always welcome.

We are of tribes

over in the

Northeastern part

of 'Indian Country'.

Therefore, we have our own ceremonies and culture and not necessarily the same as gatherings that you are use to.

We were treated with great respect, as were every 'Royal Member' of other tribes and we always enjoyed those gatherings.

http://mysmudgingblog.blogspot.com/2011/07/sacred-naming-ceremony-protocol_03.html

So sorry that it took so long to get to you.

We had a lot of requests and questions.

Plus

We are extremely busy this time of the year

(retired, what's that)?

All that said, we love to hear from you and am pleased to answer.

Remember that we write from the teaching of our ancestors.

We like it when visitors come to any of our teaching posting and websites.

We love it when students from schools and universities come also.
