Visitors have been inspired by the traditional and contemporary artwork of Blackfoot and other Native American tribes in our gallery while lodging in this scenic area of Browning, Montana. Thus we have been inspired to begin Art Workshops for our guests here at Lodgepole Gallery and Tipi Village.
Create your very own piece of artwork, which will always remind you of your Blackfeet holiday, the prairie, the mountains of Glacier National Park, and the vast blue sky. You can make a par fleche, drum, rattle or fetish in cultural mini-seminars and craft sessions. Learn about designs and symbolism used by the Blackfoot people and how they integrated them into daily life such as in Indian tipi art. Experience how these Blackfeet designs and symbols have been a part of their ceremony and Indian culture for centuries.
