Hi makwaiskwew! So nice to see the Language (is it Cree?) on SF! Sadly, I am not fluent in my Grandmothers' language, but I know a few words because of Drum songs and ceremony.

I had the honour of listening to teachings by Chief Arvol Looking Horse at an Elders Conference about 6 years ago. He shared a story about White Buffalo Calf Woman that was so powerful.

He also shared a beautiful teaching about Creator looking over the Earth to see if anyone still put down or burned Tobacco in the mornings to give thanks for another day of life here. So I think of this each time I put down Tobacco in gratitude, just to be one more person in this world who is giving thanks.
