More About the use of Kinnick Kinnick in a Sacred Pipe

The pipe is central to Native American beliefs. It is a tool used to carry the prayers of those who smoke it to Great Spirit. The smoke carries these prayers as they drift upwards. Whole books have been written about the pipe, the most famous being by “The Sacred Pipe” by Black Elk. The pipe was brought to the Native American people by White Buffalo Calf woman. Often a pipe is carried in two halves (the bowl and the stem), one being male and the other female and they are brought together in ceremony. Tobacco or kinnick kinnick can be placed in the bowl and the pipe is often wrapped in a red fabric to protect it physically and energetically. As is common to most Native American ceremonies the pipe any implements are usually smudged before use.
