Amanda Stuart, Respect (PEOPLE 2023)

I attended an indigenous event in my local area where a man was performing a smoking ceremony. An elderly man approached, and he and the indigenous man performing the ceremony looked deeply into one another's faces; it seemed they were appreciating what the other was offering, both the one holding the ceremony and the elderly man accepting his offering with gratitude.
