One of the most beautiful little shops I've ever seen. Driving highway 44 was awesome anyway (way better than I-90), and this stop made it even more worth while. The prices are reasonable for local, handmade Native arts and crafts, and the selection is wide. The employee was also very kind. If you're going to get a genuine souvenir from South Dakota, this is one place where you won't go wrong.
Right in Interior, just outside the Pine Ridge Reservation. Specialized in local artists. Wide selection & no touristy trinkets!
Store is located near the Badlands National Park. A nice variety of Native American art and artifacts. Shop owner is very helpful and full of information. Definitely worth stopping in.
The Native West Trading Company is off the beaten path but is well worth the trip to view & purchase handmade art of the Lakota Sioux. We stopped here on a whim and were amazed by the beautiful displays. I will make a point to return here on our next trip through South Dakota.
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.
