In an effort to support some of the amazing Lakota artists on Pine Ridge who use their art as a means to preserve their culture and to make ends meet, we have begun featuring four Lakota artists a year. Information about the artist and some of their work will be displayed on this page and they will also be promoted in our monthly newsletter and through our social media network. If you are interested in purchasing any of the art displayed here, you will contact the artist directly. The Tipi Raisers is not involved in any of the transactions and all proceeds from the sale go directly to the artist.
