Some pipes were guarded by a specially appointed oflicial and were kept in fur with the greatest care in specially designated tents, or contained in a case made for the pur- pose. The palladium (q. v.) of the Ara- paho is a flat stone pipe which has been seen by only one white man (Mooney (1) in 14th Rep. B. A. E.,961,1896, (2) in Mem. Am. Anthrop.

The word "calumet" (q. v.) was early employed as the name of a dance. Mar- quette referred to the calumet in 1675, not only in the latter sense, but also as a pipe. Father Biard, in 1616, and Father Hennepin, in 1679, applied the term to the pipe, in which sense it is still employed. Various early writ- ers refer to a calumet of peace and one of w^ar, the former being white, the latter red. Lafitau (Moeursdes Ameriquains, ii, 327,1721) re- fers to the calumet as a true altar where sacrifice was made to the sun; he also speaks of the calumet of peace. The bowl of the calumet pipe of the Sioux is at a right angle to the stem, and has a solid projection ex tending in front of the bowl. In the older specimens.
