While it is true that your state (Michigan) is east of the Mississippi River and on the ‘Great Lakes,’ the birthplace of my people, south of Canada.
It is far enough away from our people and so close to their neighboring tribes, you must see that ceremonies and culture of our people might differ.
As told to me by the elders of
The Moiigans (Maïngan – Yáw – Wolf-People).

Shechaim Ohjieshan Tallfox, after many Crossing Ceremonies because of smoking cigarettes,
banned ‘Natural’ Cigarettes’ from all of our ceremonies.

All of our ceremonies now use Kinnick-Kinnick (a group of Herbs).
