  Beschreibung

  We help run a non-profit American Indian organization in Pipestone MN with members from many tribes from the US, Canada and Central America. Pipestone is known as the crossroads of the Indian world. Our Mission is to educate the public (tribal as well as non tribal) about our native culture and protect the pipestone quarries for all Tribal people.
  
  The town of Pipestone is famous for their stone which is used by many of the tribes to make their pipes. We run the gift shop in Pipestone where we sell pipes and various American Indian art and craft supplies, gift items and much more. We also do presentations and workshops including pipemaking. We have taught various traditional craft classes and also run a culture camp where you can learn about tribal culture including cooking, arts and craft and storytelling.
  
  You will be staying with us; Bud, Rona and adult children. We have good internet access at home and in our gift shop. You will be helping with a verity of tasks which might be in pipestone or in our home. Depending on your experience you might help with cleaning, a building repair project or in the garden? We will provide you the opportunity to visit, ask question and or participate in cultural activities including making items.
  
  Things to know about our family: I am a bit of a neat freak and expect everyone to pick up after themselves and help with the daily tasks. I tend to keep busy and need help who learn quickly, are self motivated, and don't require supervision to get things done. Many times we will work together and I will be close by if needed, but I prefer not to be a supervisor instead I will give you the tools, information and hands on directions then let you get to it.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We hope to share some of what we know with those who host with us and depending on how long you stay you can even learn some native arts or crafts. We are a Native American Indian family who embrace our culture and spirituality. I am enrolled Cherokee and my Husband Bud and daughter Camas are enrolled Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa. We hope that we can also learn a little from our volunteers about where they are from and thing that they do and enjoy. I love to play board games and am currently writing a fantasy book on royalroad.com . Life is beautiful and Creator brings many blessings with each day and with each person we meet.

  Unterkunft

  In the past we had a spare room for guests but currently do not. We have a tipi which you can help set up and stay in for your visit. When the weather is stormy we can let you crash on the sofa. We also have tent or space for a small camper (Available only in summer) You are welcome to eat with us in fact we prefer this. In our Native culture eating together is an important activity which brings people together creating bonds. We eat mostly organic food, grow a big garden every year and can accommodate most food allergies and special diets. I am mostly a vegetarian (I eat fish once or twice a month) with a gluten sensitivity, dairy allergy, and allergies to many additives and preservatives. My husband Bud isn't a vegetarian we serve meat a few days a week but not at every meal. I prefer to avoid unhealthy junk food in my home, everything in moderation so we do eat a few deserts those are mostly on the healthy side and homemade.
  
  
  Summers hot and winters are cold really cold. We currently do not have indoor space for workaways but we do have space for camping or parking a small mobile camper, because of this we are only excepting repeat workaways who have already volunteered in our home or those who can sleep outside in camper or tent. We suggest camping outside only between mid May through October it is usually too cold the rest of the year. We also do some traveling to do presentations throughout the year. Bud, Pascal (my youngest son) and I do much of the planning and running of the gathering in the summer. It is a get together of Native American and nonnative people wanting to learn more about our tribal ways and spirituality.

  Our winter weather can be very cold and our summers can be hot. There are many things to see in the local area. Pipestone is 1-hour drive from Sioux Falls SD. and has over 200,000 people you can find most things there. Pipestone only has 4500 people. Things our volunteers have done in the spare time include learn beadwork, make a leather bag, carve pipestone, attend local events, drive in theater, Mall of American (4 hour by car away), museums, zoo, just hang out and talk, play board games (Catan, Ascension, Terra Mystica , Carcassonne.) Also, lots of space to take walks through a small town or the prairie.
