The Peace Pipe was brought forth and smoked on momentous occasions. It
was an integral part of their religion, and political lives as well as
intertribal conferences and treaty negotiations.
Medicine Men used it in ceremonies to heal sickness and to ward off
danger and trouble. The pipe styles also varied from tribe to tribe and
individuals. The Indians fashioned them from bone, wood, clay and a variety of
stone materials. But in one respect all were the same; all were sacramental
and were believed to be of divine inspiration. The bowl was the alter and in
it was burned the sacred offering, Tobacco.©
