About Us

At Ma Mawi, it was important to us to educate people about what smudging is, why people smudge and the different types of medicines there are that are used to smudge with.

Smudging is a ceremony in which individuals and/or groups of people gather in a circle to cleanse or purify themselves with the smoke of burning medicines: Sage, Cedar, Sweet Grass, Tobacco. Most commonly these are intended to cleanse the body, mind, heart and soul of negative energy to carry participants in the next steps in a good way. There is no right or wrong way to smudge.

Our youth plan to work on changing school policy to allow us to smudge.
