Calumet
Upper Peninsula copper city
A calumet is a ceremonial pipe used by some North American Indigenous peoples, often called a peace pipe.
The long-stemmed pipe was smoked during councils, treaties, and sacred rituals, with the smoke carrying prayers or sealing agreements between parties.
The term comes from a French word for reed or tube.
