Join us as fluttering red ribbons atop the 28-foot tall poles call for a gathering. Awe and anticipation are reflected in faces as they take in the majestic beauty of smoke flaps spreading like wings, and the graceful conical shape of the tipi. Upon entering the lodge listeners’ eyes follow the spiral of poles upward. They are drawn back into time. Once seated inside this canvas cocoon, the ancient traditions of storytelling begin. Visitors listen to entertaining and informative tales from diverse cultures.

Whether age 3 or 103 there are tipi stories to tell and to learn from and enjoy. These stories provide a sense of kinship and the shared values of all peoples, emphasize character development, and instill respect for one another and for the environment we live in. Adults, young people, and children of all ages take away a wonderful sense of possibility and renewal.
