A Bear medicine healing song.
Which includes the Pipe (Cannupa)
We have done many healing ceremonies with the Bear medicines
revolving around the Pipe.
The Bear teaches the plants to be used.
Quote:
The next song is Maṫo pejut̄a wiċak’u olowaƞ, a Bear
Medicine-giving song. Offering the pipe, giving medicine, and encouraging
the patient are steps the song texts record.
