A Peaceful Trade-Off

This pipe even has a name, it was called the Catlinite peace pipe. The White Dog presented this pipe to his captor, Lieutenant King. The White Dog had a very peaceful intention in his mind when he gifted this pipe, that had some beautiful carvings of arrows, animals, and birds. But what made this pipe more beautiful was the large Thunderbird. This pipe was considered sacred among the tribe and gifting it to the American soldiers was a gesture of peace. But, it didn’t go the way the Native Americans expected.
