It has over 600 Nationally Registered Historic Places. The National Park Service is in charge of protecting some of the most special places in America. These places have been set aside for the American people (and visitors from all over the world) for their natural beauty, historic value, and unique resources. [Illustration: NATIONAL PARK SERVICE] There are over 400 parks, memorials, monuments, historic sites, preserves, battlefields, trails, parkways, river ways, lake shores, and sea shores in the National Park System! These special places can be found in 49 states and in territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, and the Virgin Islands.

(Or country, if you are visiting us from far away!) ______________________________ List one National Park Site from your state or country. ______________________________ You can collect Junior Ranger badges from many National Park Service sites! List other Junior Ranger Badges you have earned in the space below. ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ Most National Parks have ink stamps that people collect in their National Park Passports. These stamps have the name of the place you visit and the date. Go to the gift shop in the back of the Visitor Center and place the Pipestone National Monument stamp in this box: Geology [Illustration: Ranger hat] Pipestone is about as hard as your fingernail. If the weather is nice, go out and walk the Circle Trail. Visit the Exhibit Quarry—#16 on the Circle Trail. Walk to the bottom of the quarry and stop at the rock wall. Geology is the study of rocks and minerals. Here at Pipestone National Monument we have three types of rock: • Pipestone The type of pipestone found here is called Catlinite. • Sioux Quartzite This is the hard pink-colored rock that makes up the cliffs at the Monument and the historic buildings in Pipestone City. This is also the rock that the quarriers need to dig through to get to the pipestone layer. • Granite These hard rocks are not from this area but were brought here by glaciers. Good examples of granite are the Three Maidens. [Illustration: Estimate how tall you think the quartzite layer is.] Pipestone: this layer is approximately 1 foot high⇒ Quartzite: this layer is approximately ___ feet high Quarrying Quarrying is a difficult process. Pipestone is quarried, or taken from out of the ground, by first digging through the grass and soil and then breaking up 10 or more feet of the hard Sioux Quartzite. Then 1 to 1½ feet of pipestone is removed in sheets of about 4 inches thick. The quarriers will use this stone to carve pipes and other small crafts. Today only American Indians are allowed to quarry, and then only with a permit. American Indians from many different tribes come here to quarry pipestone. [Illustration: Pipestone quarry] [Illustration: Here are some examples of tools quarriers use.] Wheelbarrow Crow Bar Demolition Bar Sledge Hammer Work Gloves Shovel Wedge Pry Bar Safety Goggles Whisk Broom Imagine you are a quarrier. Start at the bolded box on top and follow the dotted lines to find out how pipestone is quarried. If you make it to the bolded box on the bottom you have completed your task. [Illustration: Quarry maze] You arrive at the quarry, because the snow melted your pit is full of water. The pump is clogged—go back and try again. The water is pumped out, your pit is now empty. You must break apart the top layer of quartzite. As you were hammering, your wedge broke—go back and try again. You have successfully broken apart the quartzite layer. Use the rubble to build a retaining wall. Pile the quartzite outside of the pit. Your wall fell in—go back to start. There was a hole in your bucket—go back and try again. Your wall held strong. The pit is clear of quartzite rubble. You have reached the Pipestone layer. You find a large piece of stone but you drop it and it breaks—go back and try again. You safely remove a large slab of stone. Now you are ready to carve your stone into a pipe! Pipes Ceremonial pipes, which many people mistakenly call “peace pipes,” are very important for religious use by American Indians. The pipes are used for many reasons, some of which are: for trading, for ceremonies, when meeting with friends, and for prayer. To many American Indians, the smoke from the pipe carry prayers to _Wakan Tanka_, or the Great Spirit. Enter a letter to match the picture of the pipe bowl with the style of the pipe. {pipe} Eagle Effigy Pipe A ___ {pipe} Plains T Pipe B ___ {pipe} Bison Effigy Pipe C ___ {pipe} Elbow Pipe D ___ {pipe} Micmac Pipe E ___ {pipe} Disk Pipe F ___ Pipes Look at the pipes the demonstrators are making or the pipes in the gift shop. If you made a pipe what would it look like? Draw a picture of your pipe in the box. Tobacco was scarce before the arrival of white settlers so American Indians smoked Kinnikinnik in their pipes. Kinnikinnik is an Algonquin word meaning “mixed” and is a combination of common prairie plants. Some examples of plants used in kinnikinnik that can be found here at Pipestone National Monument are: Check the plants that you see on your Circle Trail walk [Illustration: [_] Leadplant] [Illustration: [_] Prairie Rose Hips] [Illustration: [_] White Sage] [Illustration: [_] Smooth Sumac] [Illustration: [_] Red Osier Dogwood] Explorers & Traders While on the Circle Trail, look at Leaping Rock and the carvings left by Nicollet. There are other carvings left here by past visitors before this was made a National Monument. These names scar the rock and are graffiti. Do not carve on any rocks or trees, as it is illegal in a National Park. Help protect this area! [Illustration: Ranger hat] The Pipestone is called Catlinite after George Catlin who sent samples of the stone back to scientists back east. American Indians were not the only peoples to visit this site. Fur traders like Philander Prescott were likely the first non-native visitors to the quarries, but it was George Catlin that let the world know about this sacred site. He visited here in 1836 and painted the people and the landscape of this area. In 1838 the U.S. Government sent an expedition to explore and map this area. Led by Frenchman Joseph N. Nicollet, they visited the quarries and the surrounding area and noted the location on their maps. They left their mark on the quarries by carving their names in the Sioux Quartzite near Leaping Rock. Draw a picture of two of your favorite places along the Circle Trail. The _Wild_ side of the Monument Pipestone National Monument was established to protect the pipestone quarries, but that’s not all the park protects. Pipestone National Monument also has Tall Grass Prairie—“_taller than a horse_”. There are over 300 different species of plants here. The prairie is also home to the Western Prairie Fringed Orchid, which is a federally listed threatened species, and the Topeka Shiner, an endangered fish. Fire was common on the prairie and was caused by lighting or even by American Indians to help replenish the prairie. Since natural prairie fires don’t happen here anymore, the park has annual prescribed fires that are controlled and monitored by wildland firefighters and studied for their effects on the prairie. But remember, _do not_ start fires! Human-caused fires are dangerous to property and people. The firefighters pre-plan burns and only burn the prairie when the wind, humidity, and other conditions are just right. While on the Circle Trail, look at the prairie, creek and all of the different living things in the park. [Illustration: Ranger hat] You may see colorful pieces of cloth hanging on trees or on the ground. These are tobacco ties left as prayers. Please do not touch them! Draw and label 2 plants and 2 animals you see in the park. (They can be inside or outside.) Putting it all together This is a journal where you can write down your thoughts, experiences, or what you learned here at the Monument. ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ ______________________________ National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior [Illustration: NATIONAL PARK SERVICE] Explore, Learn, Protect Be a Junior Ranger!

It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life. Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS. The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works. Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
