Tree of Life

Otter and Bear were chosen to push the first Tree of Life pole (Grandmother Cedar) from the earth’s centre through the surface, forming the first channel of communications between above and below. It roots in the underworld and it’s trunk passes trough the natural world and it’s branches ascend up into the sky world. Posts placed by medicine men, women near the entrance of the Midewigun (lodge) in ceremonies represented the tree of life and it’s restorative powers.
