Welcome to our web site!

We are enrolled member of the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Tribe and reside on the Sisseton Wahpeton, Lake Traverse Reservation, Sisseton, South Dakota.

 

For the past 20 years, we have produced items such as traditional, fancy dance outfits and other types of regalia.   We began utilizing our knowledge and skills of our past work and started making traditional native dolls. This venture has been and continues to be very exciting work for us. Our goal for our creations has been and continues to  promote the beauty and pride of our Dakota, people past and present.

My Favorite Quote:
 
Native Americans did not set out to create art for its own sake. In traditional thinking, there is no separation between art and life or between what is beautiful and what is functional. Art, beauty, and spirituality are so firmly intertwined in the routine of living that no words are needed, or allowed to separate.
