Pipestone National Monument Description
The Pipestone National Monument owes its name to the soft reddish stone from which the Indians make their ceremonial pipes. Each tribe has access to this sacred site, where peace must prevail; and even today only Indians are allowed to quarry the stone (an aluminum silicate, known as catlinite after the pioneer and painter of Indian life George Catlin). Examples of Indian pipes can be seen in the Upper Midwest Indian Cultural Center.
