    I know some information is sacred and not shared. Like an older couple was talking with some Navajo friends and they said they can’t talk about their endowment ceremony but that’d they’d confirm somethings if asked. And they confirmed that they believe that Abraham or was it Joseph in Egypt that some refer to Zohar is who they believe in or something like they follow some Zoharastrian tradition. To me this makes sense cause the tribe revealed they had clay tablet which was Sumerian. Also I watched the Americans society of dowsers and the one older guy said he lived with a Cherokee lady or she stayed at his place for a few months. She gave him a tobacco pipe or something or she did the pipe ceremony and like a thousand spirits came cause no one had done the pipe ceremony there for a long time. The lady interviewer said she did a tobacco pipe ritual and could feel spirits. It made me really interested in it cause they said it drew spirits to them during the ritual so it must be spiritual but they didn’t elaborate much on it.

      One cool thing I remember watching was peyote. I grew up in school with a classmate that was Navajo. Haha everyone called him by his nickname Indian. He had stories about peyote. But I read and watched some documentaries and it’s cool to learn peyote became the sacrament and the government finally passed a Native American church and the cactus has been spread throughout the U.S. and I think into Canada. Like Texas has a bunch of land or a big site where it grows on and actual like special agents or approved pickers harvest some for the church. I think in Arizona some white people had been allowed to join but it kind of seem like it was mainly a Native American thing legally speaking. Cause they arrested a white guy that had a church using peyote or some thing in Arizona so from what I read it seems legally best to like join the Native American church or else people of other ethnicities literally can be arrested. What’s crazy was it seemed like the cactus spread far north when really it was a south west and Mexico plant but some say it became and Native American unifying thing nation wide and maybe it went into Canada I can’t remember.

      Also the channel terry carter had a video 1890 where in Nevada Native Americans said they met Jesus in 1890. I think there was another big meeting of tribes in Mexico a few decades ago. But that really made me interested if native Americans really did believe or actually saw Jesus in 1890s or is that some propaganda.

    You may need to add volcanic ash in small quantities to increase the fertility. 100 grams per meter square. May be travel to Hawaii and find the ash from fresh eruption that is cooled but still intact in the form of volcanic dust.

    I can’t thin plants, I will plant one seed at each spacing, if one doesn’t sprout I plant another, I didn’t grow up around my Native family members or around gardening, but i view every seed and plant as a miracle from the LORD, and I don’t want to waste HIS blessings, if a seed gets spaced too close I just let them grow together or trans plant.

    Thank you for the interesting video you posted. And I was surprised that you didn't use pesticides. I also grow mapacho from seeds. However, armyworms and other insects eat the leaves. Do you not use any pesticides or insecticides? . How can I grow tobacco without pesticides? . I think that's ideal.Sadly, the neonicotinoid insecticides I use will reduce the bee population.

With no idea where to start…I thank you for this amazing video. If you have any recommendations for sites/ppl in which I could purchase seeds I would be so thankful.
