Tipi Creek

Do not go here.

This place is in direct violation of NACA (Native Arts & Crafts Act of 1990) which says it is illegal to sell, market or advertise an “Indian” product if it’s not really made or consulted by an Indigenous Person or Nation. They advertise/market and sell, what they claim to be “Sioux” “teepees” but then changed their bio and website text once (real life) Indigenous People shared the NACA legislation with them. They did this with acknowledgment, no apology and no correction.

When real life Indigenous Peoples conducted a fact finding mission they were hung up on, dismissed, blocked and had our comments deleted off their social media posts. They publicly said, and then deleted, that their “mission” is to “promote Native American culture.” If their *real* mission is to promote Native American culture then why must they hang up, block and delete real life Native Americans who are justifiably questioning their business practices?

They deleted “Sioux teepees” once they were sent the NACA legislation and also scrubbed their mission statement and then changed the privacy of who can and can’t speak about Indigenous Peoples and OUR cultures. They’re making money off all this.

They are stealing Native American voices by deleted out comments and questions because it affects their profits. They’re literally profiting off our culture without permission, without hesitation and without any care. 1. It’s illegal. 2. It’s falsely representing us, stealing our cultures and art and making uneducated tourists falsely believe that *you* and not us, are the ones of represent our cultures! That’s why you have to delete our questions and comments because you know you’re wrong!

It’s cultural theft.

You don’t have respect for Indigenous Peoples because you don’t even have respect for yourself and you only have hallow support for your soldiers you claim to support. Soldiers take oaths to defend and protect every single word of the US Constitution, *including* Article 6, Clause 2, “All Treaties are the Supreme Law of the Land.” You Constitutionally say one thing and do the opposite! Under your official motto “In God We Trust.” How can you respect soldiers when you don’t even respect the document they die on foreign soil defending/protecting? Honor thy word means honor thy treaties. Does it not? Constitutionally protected Treaties are OUR civil rights and every single day you and your people say “nO.” That’s something we live with every single day! And today, you’re constituting to profit from a lie. Thats makes you and not us the Indigenous representation in America.

One other thing you should know is that the cornerstone of US Property Law (today) says that Native Americans can’t hold the title to the land you stand on today because it was “discovered” by European Christian Monarchs. Big facts. Today; Native Americans can’t hold title to the Land God Created us on because this hemisphere was “empty” in the year 1492.

Question. How can you “discover” land that’s already inhabited by tens of millions of other people also made in the image of God? You dehumanize them. The Supreme Court says because my Ancestors weren’t baptized in 1492 they weren’t “human” enough to hold land titles so were only given the right of occupancy, like a fishing the water or the bird in the air. The Supreme Court upheld the doctrine of Christian discovery as recently as 2005. It is the law of the this land.

Literally, this Christian Nation has stolen (discovered) our land and continues to keep this stolen (discovered) land from us today, because our Ancestors weren’t baptized 532 years ago. This is the law of the land today, it’s land theft, in Jesus name.

This is another aspect that we, The United Indigenous Nations and Peoples of Turtle Island are struggling for. We are still here.

We reject you falsely claiming us for profiting like we reject your 500 broken treaties, doctrine of Christian discovery and boarding schools!

Do NOT go here!

Cultural appropriation at its finest and a clear violation of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act. Not Native owned. None of the proceeds will be going to actual indigenous communities. The company is even stooping so low as to giving away “ “Native Merchandise” “ (with the quotes—so they clearly know what they’re doing is wrong) to award the selection of “Native Names” in instagram giveaways. Tipis do not originate in Cherokee culture. This is a clear demonstration of cultural theft and misappropriation. Indigenous people are not a monolith. This company seems to only care about profiting from actively perpetuating harm and erasure of Indigenous communities. Shame on you.

Please support ACTUAL Native owned and Indigenous businesses.

Easily one of the most magical places I've ever visited. Misty & Keith are amazing hosts and have created a deeply relaxing and fun! glamping experience that honors the indigenous people of the land. There's something for everyone, of all ages, to enjoy at this beautiful site. Our tipi was spacious and very comfortable. I absolutely loved exploring the creek ! Sitting in the hot tub looking up at the stars was l u x u r i o u s ! There are so many little details that make Tipi Creek so special. I'll be making this stay a tradition from here on out :- )
