Pipestone has always had sacred and spiritual significance to Indigenous peoples. It is the same sought after stone that Native Americans use to make their ceremonial pipes from for thousands of years. Many tribes believe that the smoke from the pipes carried ones prayer to the Great Spirit. Pipestone is also considered the blood of the earth.
