Workshops

We travel around the world to do our workshops, presentations and cultural exchanges with people interested in learning about Native American life, history and creations. These presentations and workshop help to break down cultural stereotypes as well as pass down knowledge to our tribal youth.

Testimonials

"They made me feel really welcome. They are really passionate about the town of Pipestone and their Indian heritage.
I learned a lot about the history of the town, the Tribal people and the importance of the Pipestone quarries in traditional Indian culture."
Paul of Englandshire

Thank you so very much for your efforts to provide excellent training for our Explore Minnesota Tourism Travel Counselors.  I could not have asked for more.   The Keepers of the Sacred Tradition of Pipemakers was fascinating and we really appreciated the Indian tacos.  They were delicious!  Already I’ve received word from a few of my Travel Counselors that they are using their new experiences when working with travelers.  And a number of our more seasoned veterans stated that this was the best training they had ever received.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I would like to thank all of you for participating in Blaine World Fest this year.  It was a record setting attendance year with approximately 2200 coming to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of Blaine World Fest.  Thank you for taking time out of your weekend to set up your booth and contributing to a successful World Fest.  We would love to have you back next year, so save the date:  May 21, 2016. 

Best regards,

Shari
