Good to see some Native representation...It helps bring respect to your people when others can see how creative, hardworking, talented and respectful your people are.
I wish you could have found room to mention the two greatest pipestone artists (both from Minnesota), Jeff Savage and Robert Rose Bear. Otherwise a great tribute to this sacred spot.
I mean no disrespect to your ancestors. I am not selling anything. I receive no monetary gain for any of this. There is no advertising linked to any of my videos. I do not make a penny. I am merely showing others the beauty and concept of what the pipestone means to your people. All of the tribal members who do the carving here have their own stores and online outlets where they do sell the pipestone, but I do not profit one bit from this video. I understand that this is a sacred place and I could feel that as I walked the grounds. I assure you that I have the utmost respect for your ancestors and the pipestone.
Sam Wounded Knee For your information,, they have been selling and trading Pipestone even before the Fur Traders in the 1700's.. You think anyone is going to listen to you about trying to stop it,, it's never going to happen.. The Federal Government has given the Indian Nations Rights to this land for generations to come and not you or anyone else is going to try to take away their Rights to the Land and the Digging of the Pipestone for their sacred chanunpa. your Remarks are Laughable at best. P.S. I never said I was Native in the first place.. So do your self a favor and Sober up . Travis Erickson is my friend as well as others there at the Indian Shrine there in Pipestone. Have a Great Day and Many Blessing for you and the Creator of Mother Earth, for from the womb of her, comes the sacred Red Stone.
Was that "Yoly" who is pictured in this video? She has such a nice smile and I loved her colorful jacket. It added to the terrain and I am doing research in Pipestone. I just acquired one myself and will look to get it blessed and to do proper ceremonies. I am very curious as the pipestone is unique to only the Pipestone National Monument Park as is Stone Henge stone is unique to only one part of England. Very unique as out of all the World, Pipestone is only in these areas of the United States.Very interesting video. Thanks!!!
JohnDrakeMI6 yes that is Yoly. Thank you for such a beautiful comment. Pipestone is found in a few other places but this location is the main source for the red Pipestone.
Thanks! I am former law enforcement and just received a Pipe and stem(signed by "RP" from South Dakota and I am really learning a lot. I am also interested in all kinds of history and I believe our Native American history is an important part of our own history and we should all be taught proper history as it is part of our Heritage whether we are Native American or not.(I was born in Oklahoma on "federal land" but all land was Indian land too right?

I wasn't aware of this, nor were the Native Americans who created the videos and produced all the photography found at this exhibit. I also always ask permission to take video and photos whenever I'm in a public place. Travis had no problems with it and allowed me to film him as well, as he worked the pipestone. We spent about $60 on their crafts and they were very appreciative. I see chanupas in movies, video games and photos all the time :-)
So where did they get steel rasps and bees wax? If it's so sacred why change the traditional way of making them? They certainly didn't steel power drills. Such nonsense. I have no respect when they don't use traditional methods.

@@TravelswithYoly yes fake props in movies not a blessed one that is actually used. These should not be filmed or photo. All in saying.
