Pipe ceremonies
Pipe ceremonies are ceremonial practices used by Indigenous cultures, particularly among Native American tribes, to honor relationships and foster spiritual connection. The pipe, often called a “peace pipe,” symbolizes respect, healing, and communication with the Creator and community. During the ceremony, participants gather to pray, share stories, and offer thanks, using the pipe as a sacred tool to facilitate respectful dialogue and unity. These ceremonies hold deep cultural and spiritual significance, serving as a means to preserve traditions, seek guidance, and promote harmony within the community.
