Sample Book Insights:
#1 I am going to tell you the story of my life, as you wish. I will first make an offering and send a voice to the Spirit of the World, which may help me be true. These four ribbons hanging on the stem are the four quarters of the universe. The black one is for the west where the thunder beings live to send us rain.
#2 The pipe was brought to the tribe by a scout who had seen a woman in a white buckskin dress while looking for bison. The woman sang while walking, and when she entered the tepee, she gave the chief a pipe with a bison calf carved on one side to represent the earth that feeds and clothes us.
