Gifting


After the sweat lodge ceremony, the gifts and the speeches began to flow. In gratitude for his experience, Santiago gave his mask of the Ayauma to Janet and Arrow. It was a very touching moment that brought tears to both Janet and Santiago. This gesture was especially meaningful because Santiago made this mask with his family before coming to the United States. It was a gift twice blessed.
