Russian fur traders brought tobacco to Siberia, and peoples in northwest Alaska obtained it through exchange networks and trade fairs. Tobacco came to St. Lawrence Island through trade with Siberian Yupik villages, the nearest located forty miles west of the island by skin boat. This traditional tobacco pipe has a wooden body and walrus ivory bowl, with inlays of cast lead and engraved ivory. A decorative metal pin is attached, for packing down the tobacco and cleaning out the bowl.
