Welcome to Grandfather's Spirit.
In celebration of the Native American Indian spirit, this site features both Native and non-Native American made art. Featured primarily are herbal smoking blends, native made herbal tea, kinnick-kinnick tobaccos, decorated buffalo skulls, ceremonial staffs and lances, Native American images, and both Zuni and Navajo fetishes. I take pride in the art that I have to offer in that each piece is of the highest quality and recreated as faithfully as possible to the 'art of the ancestors'.

Grandfather's SpiritSometimes in the evening...night shadows play their game, While mem'ries taunt and tease the wind, I hear him call my name! It's then I seem to feel the touch, a wonder all it's own, I'm visited by the soul of one, who's never really gone! I can hear his laughter... come dancing in the wind, I hurry... run... to take his hand, a child of five again! Once more we walk the distant plains, and hear the Eagle's cry, Watch the ponies running free, and the buffalo passing by! It's then that he and I are one... as time once more stands still, Grandfather's Spirit lives in me, and evermore... it will! Cletus E.
