We visited Pipestone National Monument today. Though we’d not known about the park, we’ve known about it’s product and a bit about it’s significance in Native American culture. The peace pipe is carved from stone found only here. This is sacred land where these quarries are located in the Minnesota prairie. Even today as they have for hundreds of years, Native Americans quarry the pipestone on these lands and carve these prayer pipes. We feel privileged that they are willing to share these blessings with us!
