Description:	Popular culture has familiarized the general public with the roles tobacco and pipes played in American Indian ceremonial rituals concerned with diplomacy. Pipes in particular are often viewed as a pan-Indian symbol of sacred practices and beliefs. There is no doubt that tobacco and pipes played key roles in instigating interaction and cementing ties between Native communities, Europeans, and Americans. However, a focus on certain types of pipes, such as the iconic calumet, and particular smoke plants, such as tobacco, have encouraged the stereotype that pipes and tobacco were used solely to make peace, and that Native groups used the same pipes and smoke plants all over North America.
