Thanks to all who gave of their time to fill me in on the talking stick. What I
got from that is....The talking stick is as old as the tribes. If you hold it
you talk with respect. If you don't hold it, you listen with respect. When you
are done with it, place it someplace respectfully.  The facilitator holds the
space while this is going on. The talking stick is useful at the evening news
and at the closing.

How about the rain stick. Where did that come from, and how is it used?
