This time to the Wambdi Oyate. The Eagle People. It is believed that the eagle takes the visible prayer even higher in elevation. Finally, the Pipe is pointed toward Grandmother Earth to provide wisdom for all our generations and so that our generations will continue to endure forever. I could not perform the Pipe Ceremony without first giving a brief description of this religious ceremony.
All people have different versions, different methods of performing the ceremony.
This is what I have learned from my Grandfathers. It is only fitting that the Pipe Ceremony be used to welcome all of you to this meeting. For we need spiritual guidance and wisdom to talk about the many problems facing us as Indian People today. I am very honored to have the privilege of performing this ceremony today.
