Smoke signals were used to communicate with other people from far away when they were in trouble and needed help.
Old Indian tribes would have special signals to communicate to there own tribe that was far away.
Because anyone could see the smoke signals, the sender and the receiver of the smoke signals had their own special code.

∙ 13y agoSmoke signals were being used in prehistory. Nobody really knows when smoke signals were first put into use, because smoke can't be fossilized and carbon dated, the ash from the fire would be blown away and dispursed into the ground, and we can't tell if the Homo Hibilis who was tending the fire got any burns on his fingers to date the fire.

Did indians use smoke signals?
There was no universal language of smoke signals in the way that there was a universal sign language among the Plains tribes. Each tribe might have its own pre-arranged set of signals with specific meanings; since smoke can be seen for many miles and can be read just as easily by enemies as by friends, smoke signals were never used extensively. After contact with traders, mirrors were used much more effectively for signalling - the reflected flashes of sunlight can be directed in just one direction, preventing enemies from seeing the signals. Smoke signals were produced over a fire made with dry wood, grass and moss to produce smoke; a buffalo robe or trade blanket then trapped the smoke which was allowed to escape at intervals to produce long or short puffs. Naturally smoke signals only work in daytime and in areas with good visibility; they were not used in the woodlands areas where nobody would see them.
