NIISHAWSWEA AANIKWAADOON - MY PIPE AND OUR STORY
With Jay and Sweetie Bird
Jay Bird is a Jiisikaan (Shake Tent) Conductor. He is Bear Clan and from the Batchewana First Nations of Ojibways, Sault Sainte Marie Ontario. When Jay was four years old he started attending ceremonies. He spent much of his youth in pursuit of excellence at the drum, attending powwows and connecting with Elders.
In 2010 the Batchewana First Nation Chief and council gifted him the Sacred Pipe that he now carries. Since that time, Jay has embraced and furthered his gifts through years of study with Elders. He and his wife Sweetie now travel the US and Canada offering Traditional healing and teaching in their and other communities.
Jay Bird is known as a respected teacher and Elder. Listen as he shares the amazing story of his Pipe and his call to becoming healer.
On 16 April 2024 Jay published his story in paperback. If you love this story as much as we do, you can find it here [ Ссылка ]

At Shamans Directory it is an honor and a privilege to bring these traditional teachings to you. We are humbled by the generosity and willingness of the teachers to answer the call of the prophecy of the 7th and 8th fire by sharing the wisdom of their communities with the world.
We ask that each person who watches this video, and benefits from its teachings, offers one act of love for Mother Earth in gratitude and reciprocity for the gifts that have been given. Thank you.
