Too many Lakota traditionalists and spiritual practitioners, the pipe is the very symbol of life itself
because it represents the interconnectivity describe in the prayer "Mitakuye Oyasin," or "All My Relatives." The bowl is usually made of stone and represents the Earth, and the stem is of ash wood and represents all that lives on the Earth. Anyone who carries a pipe keeps the two components apart until it is used for prayer or ceremony. When the two parts are fitted together, the the Earth and all who live on it are connected. is a powerful moment that should be filled with humility and prayer. When the prayer and the ceremony are completed, the two components are separated out of respect.
