RE: Nipissing Pow Wow 2018
I was actually very shy to ask and felt bad for asking, I really didn't want to be disrespectful, but also I didn't want to forget these moments and if ever he and his brother stop attending the pow wows for any reason, I have this to remember them by. They are my favorite people to see there.
The other thing that made him happy was that I offered him tobacco when asking for the picture. He stated that the offering in exchange for a photo is happening less and less and when I offered it was like the highlight of his day. I could have never done it any other way. Respect needs to be there 100%. And I have nothing but love and respect for them.
I will have to remember if I go to a pow wow to take a pack of smokes with me, just in case. I would like to see one one day.
Not sure if smokes work the same as it is full of chemicals. Would have to ask. I used some from the leaves of a tobacco plant my mother inlaw grew. My plant is not quite ready yet.
I hope you get to witness it one day. I don't think there is anything more powerful.
