Throughout the many Indian tribes of America there is dispute over the finer details of true origin of tobacco. However, over and against these differences there remains one general consensus that the tobacco plant sprouted from the ground after some mischievous activity between the spirits.
Legend has it that in the time when the earth was fit for the occasional residence of the spirits one such spirit, the Great spirit, laid down in the forest to sleep next to his fire. His arch enemy, seeing him asleep, rolled him into the fire causing his hair to catch light. Awakened by the crackling of fire in his ears, the Great spirit leapt to his feet and rushed through the forest, his hair ablaze. The singed and scorched hair fell to the ground, and where is fell, there grew tobacco.
