Hello Everyone,

I hope you are having a great week! It has been sunny and hot here in Albuquerque, and my vegetable garden is growing well. Already I am looking forward to harvest time!

This week I bring you a new article about Sacred Tobacco, on the Native American site at BellaOnline.com.

Sacred Tobacco
Native Americans have always used Sacred Tobacco for prayers and giving thanks. We believe that our prayers are carried to the Creator in the smoke of Sacred Tobacco. Modern society has corrupted the sacred purpose of Tobacco. Let us look at how we should be using this sacred plant.

This week I have been focusing on talking with others in our Native American forum. This week's forum posts include an introduction and discussion on Native American Ceremonies and Teachings, and a fun alphabet game discussing food, that will help us all get to know one another better.
