In honour of Grandmother's fullness, we gather to Pray, to release and to celebrate. Through Sacred Native Song, Drum and music, She and the Ancestors are invoked, providing direction and healing for ourselves and our relations. The Ceremony, which includes the sharing of a Canunpa Wakan (Sacred Pipe), is conducted in a Traditional manner. Regarding respectful Ceremonial attire: wombyn wear ankle length skirts and a blouse/shirt with long or short sleeves that cover the shoulders. Men wear pants and also a shirt with sleeves. Other identities wear pants wrapped with a sarong and a shirt with sleeves.
As a courtesy, please refrain from wearing perfume, colognes and essential oils. A feast follows so bring healthy fare to share. Respectful reciprocity is requested and appreciated.
