PEACE PIPE

Giclee Print

A ceremonial tobacco pipe used by some Native American Indians as a symbol of peace to seal a covenant or treaty. All treaties between the U.S. Government and Native American tribes were broken. A Cultural Genocide. Most sacred commitments lasted no longer than the time it took for the smoke to clear. The feathers fan out widely as a promise of hope and love. They quickly wither to a few strands that feebly remain attached to the pipe. The intricate line work details a labyrinth of lies and deception in this farewell known as “peace”.
