Description

A “tobacco offering pouch” is the perfect accessory to present to an indigenous elder or knowledge keeper.

You present a small pouch or wrap of tobacco in your left hand when making a request, and if accepted, the person has agreed to listen openly and without judgement and to support you as best they can.

The pouch can be a small, decorative item or a simple wrap of cloth, and the tobacco itself can be traditional or commercially prepared. You can check with your elder and see if they have a preference for type of tobacco.

Why and When to Offer Tobacco:

To Make a Request:

Offer tobacco when asking an Elder or knowledge keeper to share their knowledge, provide guidance, open a ceremony, or offer advice.
To Show Respect:

It is a symbolic way to show respect for the person, their knowledge, and their culture.
As a Sacred Medicine:

Tobacco is a sacred plant used in ceremonies and prayers, and is treated with great respect. Sometimes the tobacco is burned, smoked or buried.
