Smoking was a feature of all native cultures from Alaska to the southernmost tip of South America, with many different types of pipes used. Women often smoked pipes, as well as men.

Stone was used by many tribes for making pipes, normally a soft, easily-carved stone that hardened on exposure to air. Stone used included sandstone, bauxite, catlinite, slate and steatite.

In the north east woodlands of North America, many pipes were simple tubes of birch bark. In Maine some tribes apparently smoked tobacco in lobster claws.

Museums around the world hold collections of native American pipes from every tribe, including those in South America. So the answer is that all tribes smoked pipes of one kind or another.
