(First)... In the beginning Mother Earth was barren. Our Grand Fathers, the rocks, were the only thing on earth. Then one blade of grass began to appear, and the whole forest kingdom started to form.
This is why our sweetgrass ceremony is so important.
We braid the sweetgrass to signify the Body ,Mind , and Spirit.
We smudge our five main senses: the Eyes, Touch, Nose, Ears,Speech. When one of our senses is weak, the cleansing of our body will strengthen the other senses.
KWE!!!
(Second)....Then came the oceans and tides, and rivers. They are the leaders on mother earth,the sun and moon having been already set for all creation.
... KWE!!!!
(Third)...Then came the animal and flocks of bird's,the eagle that flies the highest in the air to watch over the creator kingdom.
KWE!!!
(Fourth)... Then came Woman and Man. We, as a people, are only fourth to be here to form all our relations.
