STANDING ELK TRADERS

NATIVE STYLED ARTS, CRAFTS & SINGING -The name Standing Elk came to me in a dream.In the dream, an Elk (like you couldn't see that coming) had been tracked and hunted by a pack of wolves.But instead of running away, the elk stood it's ground,defending it's right to exist. Eventually the wolves tired and left the elk still standing.
ABOUT US - My wife and I (April & Scott Smitley), own and run the trading post (it pays for our powwow habit).We both dance, I dance Men's Traditional, April dances Women's cloth traditional.You can find out more about us on our personal pages.
STANDING ELK SINGERS - I'm the head singer for the drum. It's a northern drum,with mostly sioux songs. We sing at several intertribal and hobbyist powwows. I am also the drum and singing advisor for the Kootaga Dancers.
