SLEEPY EYE - As if Chief Sleepy Eye was looking down from above, a brief rainstorm stopped just in time Saturday afternoon for the exchange of a Pipestone Indian Peace Pipe from his seventh generation grandchild to the Sleepy Eye Area Historical Society.
Karyn Douglas Cissill of Palm Desert, Calif. presented the Peace Pipe to Sleepy Eye Depot Museum Director Debbie Joramo at a ceremony that included burning incense, drumming and singing.
