Native American Art Gallery

On our way through the Blackfeet Nation reservation at the foot of the Rocky Mountains we stopped by the Lodgeple Gallery and Tipi Village, which houses the fine art works of leading Native American Artists as well as a wide variety of artifacts, crafts and jewelry. We were struck by the high quality of the artists' work and the unique combinations of traditional and contemporary styles, each reflecting Native American cultures, languages and ways of life. For many indigenous peoples, visual arts, music and story telling have been the key to cultural survival in the fact of overwhelming obstacles.


We would like to encourage our readers and especially the young artists in Jacmel, Haiti to view some of these works at the Lodegpole Gallery online and to send their comments.
