PRAIRE EDGE TRADING CO. & GALLERIES
Native American Artwork, Jewelry and Pottery
In the past, tribal artisans gathered inspiration from the sacred land, recording their peoples’ stories on meticulously-crafted pottery, jewelry and paintings. This storytelling through art is still alive in the Black Hills today.
Sioux Pottery
At Sioux Pottery on St. Joseph Street in Rapid City, Sioux artists craft pottery from red clay found in the Black Hills. Intricate designs and symbols painted on wedding vases, pots and peace pipes represent important cultural ideas and events. The factory welcomes visitors to meet the artists and watch them work.
Prairie Edge Trading Co. & Galleries
The Prairie Edge Trading Co. & Galleries features an extensive collection of Native American art, crafts, books, music and cultural artifact reproductions. The gallery founders had two goals—to educate the public about and preserve the heritage of North Plains Indians, and to provide artists an outlet for their goods at a fair price. Artists from throughout the region are able to showcase museum-quality pieces that include painted buffalo robes, headdresses, ceremonial drums, beadwork, jewelry and quillwork.
The Journey Museum
The Sioux Indian Museum, one of several separate museum collections under the Journey Museum’s umbrella, pays homage to this important historical period with a spellbinding collection of Native American artistic artifacts and photographs. There is also a holographic storytelling display featuring the late “Grandma” Nellie Two Bulls, a respected Lakota educator, singer and storyteller. The showpiece of the exhibit is a full-sized, walk-in tipi.
