Ihanktowan Oyate (Yankton Sioux Tribe) Pipestone Peace pipe and leather bag

Description

This early primitive peace pipe was carved by the Ihanktowan Oyate Tribe from pipestone (catlinite) that only they can mine.  It comes with the deer leather peace pipe bag which has a horsehair braid, bird feathers and piece of deer antler. This belonged to my brother who was given this for his community service.  The story he was told was this belonged to one of the chiefs of the tribe.  Dimensions of peace pipe are: 19Lx2W (tip).
