To one of many postings that include 'Vikings' and our feeling about Christopher Columbus.

I included a few at the bottom of this posting.

Actually there were many more only a few years ago my computer was stolen with the information included.

Vikings or Christopher Columbus?

As for this post, I cannot remember why it was posted so let's take it from here?

I started writing about my people and the visits from Norsemen (Vikings) 

my elders called them Norsemen.

Back in junior high in the early 1950's and again in high school as book report's.

Because not much was known in school about either the tribe and the Vikings.

I had been in schooling about my people 

(ancestors, culture and ceremonies), 

since birth from the elders.

My first computer was in 1983 of 84?

As you might have notices from my writings that not much attention was paid to the teaching of those Mohiigan children from the village back in the 1940's 50's and 60's?

However no Mohiigan ever spoke evil about our brothers and sister Vikings.

Some links of mine that might interest you.

Lately for some reason, this subject seems to be coming up often?

So I have added links to this one.

One must always remember while coming to one of our websites and blogs, I write your answers from the teaching of my ancestors, other tribes in other states might have different answers.

Let’s take another trip 

down the ‘Memory Trail' 

again?

 Please hang in there I am answering many questions hoping that this can clear things up a little.

To Our sacred prayers at ceremonies?

The only question asked as often as a question about Native American tobacco, on my tracker is a question about our sacred prayers at ceremonies!

Questions like.

(1)- What way is the peace pipe passed traditionally?

East or West coast tribes?

Our people

East, West, South, North, East, Our Mother, Father Sky, back to East.

According to my elders, now ancestors, tribes in and around the New England area never had a ‘Peace pipe' because we were never given 'the opportunity for a chance for peace'!

Our ancestors offered a ‘Friendship pipe’ to their visitors and a ‘Sacred Pipe' in their ceremonies’

(2)- What prayer is at a Native American Funeral?

(3)- What is the naming ceremony prayer?

(5)- How to do a traditional smudge?

(6)- How to build a sweat lodge?

“Spiritual Leader"

A Spiritual Leader (teacher), never handles a ‘Sacred Pipe’ once 'Awakened', this is the reasonability of 

the ‘Keeper of the ‘Pipe’!

Awakening a pipe

http://mysmudgingblog.blogspot.com/2011/08/how-to-open-native-american-pipe.html

As you must see from the information post ‘Awakening a pipe’

This is an extremely ‘Sacred Ceremony’ one should never taken lightly, 

so no pipe after being 

‘Traditionally Awakened’ 

will ‘Ever’

 be given to a non-native,

 (ever)!

Pipes made east of the Mississippi river are

 made from material found east of the Mississippi river,

 pipes made west of the Mississippi river and 

made from ‘Pipe Stone’

Tobacco (Herbs) as a Traditional Native American Gift

Last I heard was that Canada is a large part of North America and therefore this applies to your area?

I know, if the country directly below yours does not get our act together, your country might start to regret your friendship!

Remember

More of our people voted for our real president, President Hillary Clinton, the corrupt political party corrupted our election and we are stuck with this infection, infesting our country for a little while!

O.K.

Back to your business.

Gifting as in Smudging, is a prayer from you to Creator for a blessing to you and the person being gifted.

So, always take the time to get it right?

At no time should wampum (money), pass hands.
