My husband will have better "education" on this as he knows about way
more diferent Tribes than me. I will have him write it soon. :)

But really its not how the stuff is packaged. A pack/carton of cigs,
"Native Spirit" tobacco products is great I prefer this stuff myself to
smoke. you can put it in a pipe, roll it whatever.

Tobacco is just what has been used for years upon years. But you can
leave anything that they may use, buck in cash, a pack of cigs. Its not
what you give them that matters. Its just that by leaving somethin you
acknowledge that you appreciate them and what they did or helped you
with. Its just a token for them :)

But I know my husband will have a better more "from the book" kind of
explination LOL after all he studied it for years, and has better words
than me about stuff :) I just know what I have seen and heard from
Family and going places :) Hope this helps -Tabitha
