Medicine on the praries series: The old and new ones to place

Sipatsimo and Innii (Sweetgras and Bison) have been caring for the Blackfoot people all along: 

With its gentle fragrance, Sweetgrass provides a sense of coming home for many people, or they feel cozy and protected from negative influences in their surroundings. It connects us to our inner trust in the wholesome workings of the world, in our true selves and in our innate abilities. Being in the presence of Sweetgrass, activates our senses and helps us move out of states of stubbornness and stagnation by unleashing our inner child that wants to play, daydream, love or engage in artistic endeavours.

It is further used to help harmonise spaces, places and crowds of people, nourishing loving emotions in them and/ or creating a sense of safety, consolation and protection. It can also stir the fires of passion and love; bring light and positive energies into home and life; provide ease, lift the mood and nourish an overall sense of well-being.

Bison provides all the prairie people need to live good lives. Their resurgence represents a better life for the Blackfoot people, who are resilient and strong to recover from the persistent colonial onslaught.

Dandelion is said to have come with the first colonizers. It carries great medicine and can be found where it is needed the most. The great uprooting and terraforming of land asks for remediation of the soil, and Dandelion is here to help with it. It also teaches us humans how to root in new places in good ways.
