Over the years our family (NAIC) traditional pipe and tobacco has evolved into a well rounded healing ceremony. It does not favor any particular or specific tribe and is in that way eclectic. Our personal family is Crow and Sac and Fox. NAIC has more than 20 native and or indigenous tribal nations currently represented. Contact: NativeAIC@somaveda.com Phone: (706) 358-8646 Ask for Dr. J! If your new to Native Ceremony or are seeking healing we are experts and can guide you in a good way. The ceremony is safe! The ceremony is Co-ed.
