Cheyenne River Lakota

The Lakota people are artist who specialize in painting, beadword, quillwork and sewing. Their brain tanning process for hides is world famous and the drums and bags made from those hides are prized for their quality. We support the artists by helping to find markets for their art. The Native American Vets on Cheyenne River Reservation use the profits from the sale of the "brain tanned" bags to support the acquisition of firewood to provide elders and family with heat during the winter. Other artists use their art to support their families.
