Pipemakers of the Great Basin
Hilman Tobey, a Northern Paiute living at Reno Sparks Indian Colony, makes stone-bowled pipes for use in traditional ceremonies. This short film captures master artist Tobey teaching pipe-making skills to apprentice Norman Zuniga under the auspices of a Nevada Arts Council Folklife Apprenticeship Grant. Mr. Tobey, who just celebrated his 100th birthday, talks about the materials and tools used to make pipes as well as the origins and uses of ceremonial pipes in prayer. Filmed by Gabe Lopez Shaw for the Folklife Program of the Nevada Arts Council with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.

Did he pass? I'm sorry to hear that. Do you carve stone too? Or make seramonial pipes? His workshop looked like it held lots of story's and treasures in it.
The pipes you make are so beautiful. I am making my own pipe now. Migwetch (Thank you) for you video.
An old friend of mine whose gone now use to make all kinds of native crafts and had collections of spear heads and arrowheads had very nice large chunks of catlinite and made his own pipes that were beautiful. I wish I had gotten the stone when he passed or one of his pipes. He showed me how he made them and it was amazing. We smoked from one several times. I'd love to be able to make them as I can't do much myself anymore.
Wonderful knowledge.Excellent !
Amazing!
Wopila grandfather!
I once had a small personal pipe made of pipestone.The Great Spirit gave the original peoples of thr Americas the red stone for their pipes.Geologists call it Catlinite after George Catlin,the 19th century attist who made a pilgrimage to the sacred Pipestone quarry in north central Minnesota. Here foe thousnds of years native people dug the red stone.
