The Sioux attach eagle feathers to peace pipes to honor the creator, who is the source of all strength and power.

A Sioux's prayers are carried to the creator when he smokes the sacred pipe.]]> 2017-03-30 15:38:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ensnyde1/z5j6ehq4r29v/wish/163744377 Religious Beliefs ensnyde1 https://padlet.com/ensnyde1/z5j6ehq4r29v/wish/163745015 Traditional religious beliefs center around Wakan Tanka, their god and creator of all things.
