This store is wonderful! The craftsmanship and time that goes into creating all of the gorgeous artwork and items for sale is astounding. I love that most of the things for sale here are Native created. The bios posted of some of the artists was fascinating as well. Highly recommend a stop here.
This shop is HUGE and has a phenomenal art gallery upstairs; including a collection of Native American beads in all different materials and colors. You’d have to see it to believe it. It felt like an honor just seeing them. Also lots of affordable and unique gifts to buy. We were tempted to grab the deer antler cribbage board but didn’t know how to fly it home. Maybe next time
Such a great place to find unique gifts and artwork. The staff were wonderful and incredibly helpful.
This store is fantastic with the amount of inventory they have. And the staff is very friendly.
This place is impressive!! Its almost like a museum as much as a store... A young girl was making a beaded craft at one end of the store. They had a variety of Lakota artisan made pottery and crafts, headdresses, and so much! Also some typical souvenir Christmas items and normal gift shop offerings. Some clothing, too. And a rare book area in the back. I would recommend a visit for sure!!
This place is so cute and has something for everyone! Instruments, stuffed animals, beautiful shirts, books, and so much more! We had the nicest worker help us out. Lanelle helped my boyfriend pick out a really cool flute and was so kind. She was very knowledgeable about the instruments. Even better, she remembered us the next day and wished us safe travels back home.
This was a unexpected surprise! We got there before they opened because we were going to the shop next door and happened upon this place. There was a gentleman watering the flowers outside and he was getting ready to go inside and we asked if he could possibly let us go in early because we would be gone before the store officially opened. To our surprise he did and was very gracious allowing samples and telling us all about their wine! Bought a bottles and 2 wine glasses to bring back to my elderly parents ( father retired after 34 years as a fireman) and 5 bottles for us. Thank you to the guy who allowed us a great experience.
Wonderful products - everything is well-made and high quality. You will find something here that you would like to own.
All of the Native American things are very neat to look at, but the art is too pricey for being prints and not originals. After asking if they were originals and being told yes, and then just to turn around and get there to find out they were prints, very underwhelming. Staff needs to all on the same page when it comes to selling the art and knowing what is an original and what is a print.
I ordered online and haven’t been in the shop yet (but will certainly visit next time I’m in Rapid City). The online ordering process was user-friendly and the order processed quickly. I was pleased that they sell braids of sweetgrass and have ordered them for our home as well as for my daughter. They are beautiful and simple and full our living room with its clean, pure, and gentle scent. I have already ordered some to be sent to my daughter in LA. I have no reason to hesitate if giving Prairie Edge Trading Co. 5 stars. I’ll be back.
This place has the largest selection of Native American crafts and artifacts in town. It’s worth visiting due to its variety and authenticity. Things could be costly, but that’s how Native Americans make a living. You can always buy cheaper stuff from eBay, but they could be made somewhere else, especially nothing about the real Sioux people. So, if you like Native American stuff, stick to the real thing.
Amazing, legit Native American Art from local artisans. There are 3 stories of treasures to look through. In my opinion, this is a must see if you are in Rapid City
Very interesting one of a kind items by local artists. Its definitely worth perusing the store for treasures.
Very knowledgeable staff.Love the South Dakota made products
Some of the best Native American art available, stunning local artists, and amazing gifts. LOVE my custom Star Quilt!
Today 04/16/2021 I went to Prairie Edge because it was recommended by another local Merchant in Downtown Rapid City.It was the first time I had ever been to Prairie Edge since first moving to the Rapid City area in 1996!!!!Now I know why!!!!I have never been so insulted and disrespected in my life by a local Merchant as I was today.Prairie Edge will never ever see any of my hard earned money and I will never step into Prairie Edge again.So much for all the thousands of dollars we spend on advertising to shop locally!!!!Not me!!!
Beautiful handmade Native American Art and unique gifts!! Make sure you ask the store clerks which items are authentic and look at labels. Some things are made in Mexico and can be bought anywhere!!
Every time I come here I find so many beautiful things. An amazing Native American library with rare books! I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to sit in that library with so many historical books
This store is to die for!! As a native Cree/Ojibwe, it was dreamy to be walking through such an excellent tribute to the native cultures and talents of the local artists. We were very glad to have our credit card on us! I cant wait to come back in the spring to see what new things they might have for us to see.
Just as awesome as I remember it, years ago! The owners, managers and staff were very knowledgeable and helpful.The selection of beads and crafting supplies was absolutely awesome. The bead area upstairs was breathtaking. A beaders MUST see. :)The local artistry is well represented and respected.There is literally something for EVERYONE in this store.
This place is amazing. Beautiful Native American crafts as well as Pendleton items and beading supplies. Something for everyone. Right on Main St. in Rapid City.
Prairie Edge is a must see. Visit with the knowledgeable staff. There are many items to catch your interest. Books, artwork, jewelry...too many to list. I wholeheartedly recommend Prairie Edge!
Wonderful staff and beautiful native artwork. Great place for good souvenirs!
They have an awesome variety of stuff. One of a kind finds. Prices within reason. Friendly workers.
This store has a lot of very nice native american items and supplies.
Bought a beautiful water color painting and a couple other unique gifts. Good service and highly recommend!
Found a gift for a friend, beautiful things, great art. A definite stop in Rapid City. The people who work there are very friendly and helpful.
Take the time to go here, you will not be disappointed one bit. The many different sections of the establishment are filled with wonderful objects of art and clothing. The book section is without a doubt one of the best seen concerning the Dakotas and Native American culture. The staff is more than knowledgeable, is willing to help you to and answer your questions.
Outstanding, best selection of local art. Great staff. A must see.
Something for everyone, unique gifts, art and clothing. Beading supplies and First Nation merchandise. A must for any first time visitor to Rapid City. With helpful sales staff and a knowledge of Pendalton blankets and clothing they can help you find what you are looking for. Looking to decorate a home or weekend getaway they have that covered as well. See for yourself a neat shopping experience...
Lovely inventory. Friendly staff.
This is a nice place to shop, and I have shopped here for years. Today when we went in, even though our state is open, they asked us if we would wear a mask. When one of us stated that she could not, they said that we could not shop there without one. I will not shop here again until they drop the requirement. There are a large number of people here, visiting stores that do this.
Nice store with variety gifts ideas and arts from local artists. Biggest bead collection Ive ever seen.
Astonishing is rarely used lightly. And in this case its appropriate not only for the friendly staff, the amazing gifts, and true magic art rather Astonishing is that the town lives up to the pride I felt buying a belt, some works of art, a couple gifts for someone special, and ofcourse some vanity items for myself. Id love to describe the vibrant handcrafted colorful Native art but it speaks volumes on its own. Theres a Zen sand window that I missed. Ill have to go back. Culture, pride, and purpose.. plus some magic rugs on the second floor. 🦊🌟💝
This is a must go place. Inexpensive parking garage nearby. Good place to eat in historic dwntn. Praries edge bldg is fantastic. Lots of authentic native american crafts, art and cool stuff. Dont miss the drum shop across the street. Proprietress is a lovely lady does her crafts there in shop.
My favourite store 💖💖Beautiful thing to buy and all made by Native Americans 💖💖Very friendly people 👍👍👍 looking forward to be back . I hope in the near future .Greetings from Belgium
Very interesting place with lots of arts and crafts and gifts to choose, from Native American origin.
An awesome Place for Native American Art and to learn about the Culture...
Great items! So much to look at and want to take home!
Always a wonderful experience exploring Prairies edge.
Awesome place. Needed more time on store!
Quality product, friendly staff
Prairie Edge has always been helpful and very quick to ship an order. Thank you so much!
One of my favorite places, such history in there with plenty of story behind it.
OMG I JUST LOVE VISITING HERE!This a trading post with such beautiful art & beadwork; this is a must see if you love native American art. I love the beaded items, the traditional plants/herbs, music, supplies, everything! Come visit here, you will be glad you did.
Prairie Edge is Rapid Citys best fine art gallery. They are a gallery member of Artists of the Black Hills and display several member artists as well as hosting an annual small works show for ABH during the holiday season. Serious art art lovers go to Prairie Edge to buy the best our region has to offer.
More made in the U.S.A. please.
The women in the craft section aren’t helpful, they sit there and watch customers, and when you ask for help they say “oh are you ready” as you stood there waiting for help.
Nice stuff but super expensive.
Such a cool shop! Very clean and helpful staffFollows Covid safety well for an easing feeling while shopping
Nice place in a beautiful building. Friendly staff.
Beautiful merchandise, but pricey. Great displays and original pieces of art!
All kinds of neat stuff in here, very nicely organized and elegant. Cool building. As a 35 year old left brain guy, I was surprised how many elegant and creative and beautiful things were here that I actually wanted to buy.
I LOVE this place! I always visit every time I am on Rapid! I always buy something( or many somethings). The staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable. It is a great place for one of a kind gifts or something for you or your house! Dont miss out by not going!!!!
Lots of beautiful artwork to admire. Great place to visit as a destination when driving through Rapid City. Interesting mix of bookstore, touristy trinkets and authentic Native American artwork. This wasnt a place I felt totally comfortable taking photos, although I didnt ask any employees if that was allowed. But I nonetheless recommend travelers visit.
Nice place large selection. The staff seemed busy though it was not crowded they were talking with each other.
Best place for a Lakota to be, they showcase local and professional artists, I like the prices on some of their exquisite pieces.
So many things to see. Be ready to spend some time here. There are many fantastic items in this store. Very high end items. Many are hand made and unique to the Black Hills area. Half or more of the the store is devoted to Native American arts. Very large selection of glass beads. Make sure that as you go through the store that make your way to the Sioux Trading post. I will definitely go back.
Best place to go for original native american art and supplies.
My family and I visit this store every year! Really great merchandise and friendly staff! Definitely visit this store if you are in the Rapid City area!
Prairie Edge is a must stop place when you visit the Black Hills. This is typically my first stop when gift shopping for people.
This is so much more than a gift shop. The store is filled with Native American made or Native American inspired items. Wearable art or art that can be enjoyed for years to come. There is a beautiful bead library upstairs and bead gallery downstairs in the back of the store with hundreds of colors to select fromSo many affordable gift or personal use items throughout the store. I plan on making a second trip before we leave the area. The staff were all friendly and knowledgeable.
Friendly workers. Very helpful and welcoming
Incredible variety of stuff in this place and Rose gave a great informative educational tour
I can find everything I need here to make beautiful things.
What a wonderful place to spend time. We were searching for true Native American made items and we got that and much more. The one cashier women was so knowledgeable and so very friendly (they all were), but we kept going back to her to ask questions. I told her I was looking for a gift for my mother and gave her a little bit of information and she helped me stay in my price range and find the perfect gift. She even wrapped it well to help travel safely in one piece. I loved shopping while listening to the native music too. Thank you to Prairie Edge Trading Company. This stop made our trip even better.
Lots to see and multiple floors. Close to lots of shops
This store was amazing. Will definitely be going back. Pricey but who cares. Love this store.
Love this place! I stop to get smudging materials every time I come through. Beautiful store!
Kind of annoyed of how this woman (Caucasian) was following me around like I would steal from my own people.
Wide selection of beautiful art by talented Native American artists
While the selection of various Native American art and related paraphernalia is great, the prices are INSANE. As in mouth-dropping-open insane. I had planned on splurging a bit to get something or things here, but artwork was double or triple what we saw elsewhere in SD for similar products. Looked around for awhile but left without buying anything. Disappointing.
Coffee is good. Servers are cordial and helpful. They need to build back business so come.
So many beautiful items
Not as good as years back
Its such an awesome place for shopping..I love the streets of downtown,Rapid city,next to there is a sprinkler park for kids,where they can cool and.play on a hot summer day.
They had wonderful stuffed animals and native american art/clothing! The prices were a bit high but I love everything I got from there!
Love the people and the Indian pics
I go every year during Sturgis Mustang Rally - its easy to spend an hour looking and browsing at everything. Honestly cant walk out without buying something unique!
Nice local Rapid City store. Lots of handmade and local items. Quality unique items. It is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for and prime location downtown isnt cheap.
Very nice employees, Lakota Sioux Art show and gallery at his best. Like a museum. Not cheap, but great quality. Perfect bookstore, and very good trading post. All in one building. A highlight and must seen in Rapid City!
I always love this place but i didnt like that it seemed like they didnt have social skills. Felt uncomfortable. You do have to have a mask on to be in there.
The art gallery is also on the second floor but there is an elevator available. The artwork is fantastic and much of it is by local native artists. The store has a huge selection of souvenirs and home goods. There is also a section with craft supplies that are used in native artwork. I highly recommend a visit! This was one of my favorite spots in Rapid City.
Beautiful building with three floors of art. American Indian art to a fine arts gallery. Trading Post where they have a huge selection of beads, leather. The Trading Company is pretty awesome to as well as the library where you can find out of print books.
