In Native American tradition, a medicine bag is a sacred pouch or bundle containing items of resonant spiritual power, symbolizing and maintaining a relationship between the individual or community and the spirit world. These objects, chosen for their personal or communal significance, offer protection, healing, and guidance. Crafted with this deep spiritual meaning, this medicine bag embodies the connection between the wearer and the sacred, preserving the energy and tradition of the people.
