“So it is that the relationship of Native Peoples to the sacred plant tobacco has also followed the path of a circle.”
>>><<<
“Indian peoples never wholly forgot their cultures, nor did all Native peoples forget their teachings regarding the proper use of tobacco.”
>>><<<
“…everything of earth has a purpose, every disease an herb to cure it, and person a mission. This is the Indian Theory of existence.”

A Navajo herbalist explained, "tobacco as "Diyin", a Holy Person. Use it with respect, and it rewards you. Use it in the wrong way, and it kills you.”
