Traditional First Nation Medicine Pouches and How to Make It 

Thank you ladies, it was an honor to have you instruct us. You’re so very lucky to have such a wonderful cultural history. Native culture and ways were something that my mother respected very much-she’s Slovak and we haven’t a drop of Native in us (unfortunately) but she held Native Americans as the the ideal people to look up to, and her perfect honorable man would have been someone who was like Karl May’s Winnetu as this is what she grew up with in her youth. She passed many of those feelings onto me as a child. I had “Indian Craft/skills” books from an early age. Of course these were very watered down white mans versions of course, such as Ben Hunts books, but it led me to better more authentic books and videos. All the best to you and your families.

I believe in the future of this culture

Since I had gone on an over-night field trip in 5th grade to an old fort (most likely rebuilt and not the *actual* fort pioneers had), I've had nothing but appreciation and respect for medicine pouches. My group's first activity was to weave one together and tie beads to it, learning some very basic history behind it while doing so. I don't remember everything that was taught, but I've loved that pouch so much I have it hanging in my room nearly 2 decades later. To me, it holds very fond memories how magical that experience was. I got to step through history for one day and learn so many things. Thank you for sharing this video. I hope one day I can make a medicine bag again, but this time correctly and better than a 15-minute activity can instruct a group of children.

thankyou for the video i came to learn about bags but learned about the Okanogan people as well. Its good to see traditional teachings being taught to younger generations i wish my tribe would do stuff like this thanks again for the teachings. i see 5 sacred native women whose beauty can only be compared to our mother earth and her great features you truely look like your part of the land like the tree,river and mtns in background

My grandfather is Pawmunkey a subset of the Powhatan tribe. I thank you for this video and passing the knowledge. 🙏🏾

This reminds me a lot of the spell jars us modern practitioners of pagan religions use. We take herbs with certain properties and sealed with candle wax that we sometimes say a prayer over to help with all sorts of things.

This was a beautiful experience. Thank you,❤️

This was nice to watch. Thank you ladies.

That was beautiful on SO many levels. I want to show u MINE now :D haha. Do take care

Mussih! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and allowing me to experience your homeland... I enjoyed this segment. Your voices are soothing, I look forward to enjoying future video's as I listen to you in the background while I co-create whatever I got going out here on Beautiful Takla Lake, BC. " I am Sekanni (pronounced Tsey kay nay...means people of the rocks..., or rocky mountain people), I have watched a few videos... uplifted me, esp. where we share similar beliefs and traditions. Validating and gives me hope for children not born yet to learn about the land's indigenous teachings with a common baseline of Respect for Mother Earth and only taking what is needed and is most authentic to the area we inhabit. I think it's very important to learn about the origins of medicines directly from it's chosen caretakers as opposed to a "commercial label" Your work is very important to our landscape.

Merci for sharing! 💕

Was difficult to actually see what you were doing but they turned out lovely .

Thank you so much for sharing this video. I am making one. I have utmost respect for native Americans. Is it okay if a non native makes one? I would not want to be disrespectful.

Medicine pouches are fun to make.

Fantastic video. Thank you so much for teaching us . Are there any early relations between the Mohawk people and the Lakota ( 1800 - 1930) ? I am wondering because of my grandfathers side... Looking for relatives and still digging but something about my first question turned up and made me wonder if this was a fact. Thank you in advance.
