To us, tobacco is a sacred medicine, a way to communicate with the Creator. When we light tobacco, the smoke rises into the spirit world.
The Eagle was given the task to teach us about tobacco and to remind us to use tobacco on a daily basis, and to remind us of our origins and our teachings.
It is said that at one time the Creator was concerned about whether our people were performing sunrise ceremonies. The Creator sent the Eagle to see if we were offering tobacco. After the third morning of flying high across the land, the Eagle found an old couple offering their tobacco and went back to the Creator and reported that all is not lost.
