Support Lakota ecomonic initiatives for self sufficiency including a Fair Market for jewelry, arts, and Women’s Sewing co-ops.

We support initiatives developed by the Lakota people by working together with them to identify needed resources and means of funding. Some initiatives are the Women’s Sewing co-ops and Fair Market Price for Arts and Crafts.

You can help the Lakota people renew their economy and their communities. This project promotes development that brings jobs and educational opportunities to both the youth and the adult members of the tribe.

 

fair markets for arts and crafts

Many of the artists on the reservation produce high quality, original, creative work. They are much in need of outlets for their products that will pay them a fair price for their work. Some of our sponsors and friends work with individual artists to locate and utilize likely markets. If you can help and would like to be involved in this project, please contact James Horns by e-mailor 708-903-4150

 

women’s sewing co-ops

Women in different areas of the reservation have formed sewing circles to both make clothes for their own families and to make quilts and other items to sell both on and off the reservation.

If you would like more information about how you can help either by sending sewing supplies or providing markets for the finished products, please contact Jeri Baker by e-mail or 570-595-5015.

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.
