traditional tobacco - the plants - the words

[Andre Cramblit]

Xojim minde'iLchwe' = Traditional Tobacco
for Hoopa

O:Lhohkum = Tobacco for Yurok


Seetyu'= Tobacco for Tolowa


In Karuk (my Tribe) the most common word is
ihêeraha tobacco (wild or domestic)
but also used is:
ithimkak'ihêeraha morning sun slope tobacco
ithínkak_veehêeraha sunny slope tobacco
kifuchákar / kifuchakara- plug for tobacco pouch
mahihêeraha mountain tobacco
sahihêeraha downslope tobacco, wild tobacco

I'm producing one these days for the Indigenous People's Task Force  
here in Minneapolis.
I'd like to collect some words for traditional tobacco (vs.  
commercial manufactured tobacco).
Can anyone help?  And I'd love to know what plants were traditionally  
used in ceremony in your area and might now be called tobacco ( or  
for which commercial tobacco has been substituted)...like for Dakota  
people it's cansasa, often red willow....

Help?
