Guest guest Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Namaste All, I found it interesting that the new Canadian Prime Minister, Paul Martin was smudged or cleansed by an Ojibway Elder before taking his oath of office. This is a ceremony with burning sage and eagle feathers which are used to purify the body and the aura around a person. This was all done on tv at the Governor General's Residence, at the ceremony. Gov-Gen Adrienne Clarkson is a Chinese Canadian married to the famous author Ralston Saul. I hope it bears well for the First Nations Peoples.........ONS..Tony.
