Crow brought fire to humans, and he taught them to use Tobacco with fire. With the fire, it became medicine that transported spirits. Smoke represents the release of the spirit, from its visible and physical form into the invisible and spiritual. Crow taught Man to use tobacco to heal wounds of war and anger. It was once a powerful tool for healing the human spirit. People had four uses for tobacco: for prayers, for offerings or ceremonies, as medicine, and as gifts to visitors. \u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003eOver time humans forgot all about the meaning of tobacco and fire. They became slothful dirty creatures throwing tobacco carelessly about the land and sea.  Crow had tried to clean up the mess humans made but it was futile, no matter how much time they spent cleaning up, Man always made a bigger mess. \u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"_Hlk16349208\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003eCrow stopped trying but lingered hoping that Humans would change.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;\"\u003eClever Crow.
