A "Smoke Signal" is a method of communication that uses smoke to convey messages over long distances. Traditionally, it involves creating a fire and manipulating the smoke to form specific patterns or signals. This technique was commonly used by various Indigenous peoples, including the Native American tribes, to send alerts or information to others in the area. Smoke signals can be seen from afar, making them effective for signaling in open landscapes. The practice relies on the visibility of smoke against the sky and can be used to indicate different meanings based on the number and duration of puffs. While largely replaced by modern communication methods, smoke signals remain a significant part of cultural heritage.
