Kinnikinnick
Kinnikinnick is a term that refers to a traditional Native American smoking mixture, often made from a blend of various herbs, barks, and leaves. The name itself comes from the Algonquin language, meaning "that which is mixed." Common ingredients include red willow bark, tobacco, and other plants, depending on regional availability and cultural practices.
In addition to its use in smoking, kinnikinnick can also refer to the bearberry plant, whose leaves were historically used in these mixtures. The bearberry is a low-growing shrub found in many parts of North America and is known for its small, red berries and evergreen leaves.
