My wife and I travel to areas in or around Native American reservations on a regular basis. We like to purchase true handmade art that supports the artists-funds hitting either the artists or local business that deals directly with the artist. Native West is just outside Badlands National Park -maybe 2 miles from the visitor center. The shop sells a wide range of art generated by local Sioux artists. Our visit to South Dakota had two goals- see the Badlands and feel the culture of the great plains nations. The culture was much harder to find than we had anticipated- Native West was an important find-as well as Singing Horse Trading Co in Porcupine and Prairie Edge in Rapid City.
