At some point Europeans traded iron and brass tomahawks/axes with Native Americans. Pipe tomahawks were not created until the Europeans arrived. MarathonTmatt I have seen the "tomahawk/pipe-in-one" but am unsure of it's exact significance, if any, it could be a modern concept but I could be wrong.

Also the herbs smoked out of a pipe was usually a mixture of tobacco, dried sage, sweet-grass, etc, that is one of the reasons why there was a much lower health risk to smoking back then, not how people do it these days. I have seen the "tomahawk/pipe-in-one" but am unsure of it's exact significance, if any, it could be a modern concept but I could be wrong. I have only seen notable community leaders in some way use tomahawks in their regalia/ symbolism. Tomahawks, although most obviously a weapon, can also be used for ceremony too- I could go into more detail but I won't (the old ways are a completely different cultural worldview.) In the present day tomahawks are most commonly used in the latter context, for instance as part of someone's regalia at gatherings (Powwows.) It's my understanding that in older times the tomahawk dually signified both weapon and ceremonial meanings (there would have been over-lapping themes), for instance not just anyone would have his tomahawk decorated a certain way if you know what I mean (gotta earn those stripes.) For instance earning an eagle feather is a high honor. Again, pipes were for ceremony both personally and as a social function within the community. A lot of times the pipe is carved to be an effigy- for instance someone from the bear clan will have used a "bear" pipe. Depending on different regions there are different styles of pipe made from different material (clay, wood).
