Plains Indian (Lakota) Catlinite Peace Pipe
This quilled stem has horse tracks, and in combination with the red horse hair, symbolized the power of running horses--the Thunderbeings. |
Lakota Smoking was associated with special occasions. Clark was "impressed by the smoking habits of the Indians". Each time a tribe was encountered, the first event was the smoking of a peace pipe with tribal leaders.#06 |
The red catlinite bowl has lead inlay in the shape of bison hooves.
