Rare Pair Old Native American Indian Medicine bags/bundles.Making the Sacred Bundle is an origin story of the medicine bag from the Pawnee nation. A medicine bag is a pouch or bundle containing items of resonant spiritual power for an individual or the tribal community that symbolize and maintain a relationship between the people and the spirit world and is regarded as sacred by Native Americans.The term ‘medicine’ means ‘spiritual power’, which is derived, ultimately, from the supreme creative force in the universe, the Great Mystery or Great Spirit (known to the Pawnee as Ti-ra’wa, "Father Above"), although one might be directed to collect items for one’s bag through dreams of one’s ancestors or intimations received from the spirit of a given place, or one’s own personal history and significant moments.Although medicine bags are frequently associated with medicine men (shamans), anyone who understands its meaning and the traditions associated with it can carry one.Lot of 2.
