BEAUTIFUL BEADWORK
INSIDE OF PRAIRIE EDGE, YOU’LL FIND SIOUX TRADING POST : A PLACE THAT CATERS TO BEADING AND LEATHER WORKING CRAFTERS. EVERY ITEM YOU WOULD NEED TO CREATE A POW WOW DANCE OUTFIT IS AVAILABLE IN THAT DEPARTMENT.
If you're looking for a place to find both a gift and an experience, look no further than Prairie Edge . “Some think of us as a Native American art gallery, others see us as an authentic trading post reminiscent of days gone by,” said general manager Brenda Beal . Located on the corner of 6th Street and Main, Prairie Edge stretches out for half a block and is unmistakable in its original 19th century glory. The shop carries everything from blankets and buffalo robes to ceremonial items, books, music, and craft supplies. In addition to these, traditional Native American art is available in the Fine Art Gallery , which presents artwork of all varieties from local and regional artwork. Items can be bought online and shipped to anywhere, with prices ranging from $15 prints to a sculpture priced at $4,900. Prairie Edge opened in 1993 with a goal of educating the public while preserving the heritage and culture of the Northern Plains Indians, as well as providing Native Americans an outlet for their finest work at a fair price to them. Dive into the rich culture perusing the handcrafted items and fine art. Beal says even if you don’t purchase anything, it will be well worth your time. “I love helping to provide an income for many families that survive on the ability to sell their handcrafted creations, and watching first time visitors’ reactions as they move through the store,” said Beal. “Undeniably priceless.” FOR MORE INFORMATION, VISIT VISITRAPIDCITY.COM+
