Indian Culture (Owens Valley Paiute, Tubatulabal, Western Mono, Yokuts) Tobacco
A species of Nicotiana, which was probably not cultivated, was smoked by the tribes of the western slope of
the Sierra. The pipe employed was always tubular, generally being a few inches long, of pottery (see illustrations
of Western Mono pipes in Gayton, 1929, pl. 102, and description, p. 246) made in a manner similar to pottery
vessels. The Yokuts (Kroeber, 1925:538 and plate 30-c,d) and the Owens Valley Paiute pottery pipes
(Steward, 1933:268, 319-320, and plate 4, a-c) resemble those of the Western Mono. Wooden tubular pipes were
probably used occasionally by all these people (for Yokuts type see Kroeber, 1925, plate 30-c, d; for Northfork Mono,
see Gifford, 1932: plate 15-c,e) while stone (steatite) pipes were less common, probably being employed more often
by the shaman. Another form of pipe common to these people is a section of cane. (Kroeber, 1925:538, 836-7.)
