Medicine Bundle
A medicine bundle is a sacred bundle the native Americans used for rituals and special
occasions.
It is used for religious purposes and considered to be holy.
It’s contents can
vary from seeds, pine cones, grass, to animal teeth, hair or claws, to tobacco, beads bones
and even human remains.
Items may also be carved into relatively small items that
posses spiritual value to the owner of the bundle.
These bundles are passed down from
generation to generation for the use of their powers to be passed on.
Respond to the author's comments on the role of women
The author seemed to view the women with honor and respect for their role in Native
American culture.
The role of women was to produce and raise children, housekeep, cut
and prepare meat and other foods, and provide beds, clothing and water for their families.
The women are the ones who carry on the more domestic role in Native American
cultures, while them men are responsible to find food for their families.
