Chakotay's medicine bundle.

A medicine bundle is a bag or blanket filled with a few, very personal items, used in various Native American rituals.

Chakotay's medicine bundle contained a blackbird's wing, a CHAH-mooz-ee river stone, and an akoonah, wrapped in animal skins. In 2371, he used it to help Captain Janeway find and contact her animal guide. (VOY: "The Cloud")

In 2372, Chakotay used his medicine bundle in performing the pakra, to honor the anniversary of his father's death. (VOY: "Initiations")

He apparently had a spare medicine bundle, as it didn't seem to be beamed down to the planet with him when the shuttle was later destroyed.

After a near-death experience in 2374, Neelix assembled his own medicine bundle after seeking Chakotay's help in performing a vision quest. Neelix's bundle consisted of a necklace that belonged to his sister Alixia, a flower from Kes' garden, and a model of the Guiding Tree. (VOY: "Mortal Coil")

Apocrypha

In the non-canon "The Hologram's Handbook" by Robert Picardo, he tells the story of the Doctor creating his own medicine bundle with Chakotay's guidance.
