Smudging
The Galt Museum & Archives and Fort Whoop-Up support smudging within our facilities. If this interests you, please ask the front desk staff for resources and more information.
Smudging is a traditional Indigenous practice that involves the burning of sacred herbs, such as sage, sweetgrass, cedar, or tobacco, to create a cleansing smoke. This smoke is used for purification, healing, and creating a positive environment. Smudging ceremonies can be personal or communal and are often performed before important events or gatherings to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
