Peace Pipe I
The Peace Pipe The pipe has been a symbol of prayer and ceremony to all our Native American people for thousands
of years. It was a physical link between a loving Creator and his children, banished to this world for a period of time, with
the hopes of one day returning to His presence. Also called the peace pipe - it has always been the very semblance of the
peace and harmony that all those that truly walk this road seek amongst a world of confusion. It is important for this reason that a pipe not
be taken lightly. It is in fact a heavy burden to carry, because it is not only for oneself, but for the people. Such a choice
should be made with the help of a medicine person. It is best when an individual makes a personal pipe for them self, but
when a person does not have the time or ability to do so, it is not unusual for someone else to do so for them. When we do
so, it is with prayer. Each pipe is made with the individual in mind.
