Canada Vignettes: Indian Pipe

This carved ritual pipe from the Plains First Nations culture depicts the act of creation, alive in stone, Mother Earth in the embrace of Father Sky. Integral to the all-important sacred ceremonies, this personal possession expresses in strong imagery the vigour and joy of life itself.
