Native American Gifts & Spirituality
Native American Spiritualism is a different way of thinking. It encompasses, at its very core, absolute respect for the Earth and all its bounty and creatures.
The earth provides for us and teaches us new skills. Animals can be studied to learn hunting and foraging skills, which plants are dangerous, and how to hunt like a predator. Herbs, plants, and berries are not only food for nourishment, but burning certain plants, such as Sage and Cedar, can be used as smudge to clear stale energy away, specific plants & herbs are used to make healing poultices and medicines, many plants create cleaning supplies for both environment and our bodies, and even spices to make the food taste better. The rocks are tools for cutting, skinning, grinding and stretching. The trees and branches can be used to build shelters, for arrow shafts, and as fuel for our fires.
