North American Indigenous Talking Stick

HISTORY | INSTRUCTIONS

Discover the rich heritage of communication and respect with our North American Indigenous Talking Stick Making Kit. This unique set draws inspiration from a long-standing tradition among Indigenous, Māori, Aboriginal, and some African tribal groups, emphasizing the importance of equal participation in discussions. The talking stick serves as a powerful symbol of the holder's right to speak, promoting attentive listening and patience among all participants. It embodies spiritual beliefs through its distinctive colors, materials, and designs, including feathers, animal hides, and meaningful carvings, each element holding a special significance and contributing to the stick's purpose.

Our kit provides you with a natural stick, string, leather laces, a piece of leather for the handle, beads, a shell, and feathers, allowing for a personalized creation that respects this honored tradition. Follow our simple instructions to wrap the handle, decorate with strings and beads, and add feathers for a touch of authenticity. Optional materials like scissors, a hot glue gun, and paints offer further customization, making your talking stick a true representation of your spirit and intentions.
