Description
In this exploration of the history, mythology, ritual and symbolism of the sacred pipe, the author breaks new ground in assessing the importance of the pipe in Native American religion. Offering Smoke provides a dazzling introduction to an aspect of Native American culture heretofore never explored in such depth or with such careful regard for the religious and cultural sensitivities so vital for genuine understanding.--Provided by the publisher.
