What are the tiny tied colored things that I have seen hanging on trees, and in the rocks at the Monument?
You may see small colored pouches hanging in various places when you are walking around the Pipestone National Monument or at Native American ceremonials. These are material filled with tobacco and are called either tobacco or PRAYER TIES. Each pouch represents a prayer offered by the maker of the ties. Please don’t touch them or move them from their resting place, they will have been put there for a spiritual reason.
