Russian fur traders brought tobacco to Siberia, and peoples in northwest Alaska obtained it through exchange networks. Tobacco came to St. Lawrence Island through trade with Siberian Yupik villages, the nearest located forty miles west of the island by skin boat. Traditional St. Lawrence Island pipes, like those made in many other parts of Alaska, had wide, flaring bowls, a design that originated in China or Japan. This pipe has a lead mouthpiece and bowl and lead-filled inlays.
