Black Elk Art

Immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of the Blackfoot Nation at Black Elk Arts. Located on the Blood Reserve in Southern Alberta, this Indigenous-owned jewelry studio specializes in one-of-a-kind pieces crafted from sterling silver and Alberta’s official gemstone, ammolite. Artist Bert Tallman invites visitors to go beyond shopping with hands-on lapidary and silversmithing workshops ranging from 3 to 5 days. For a complete experience, Black Elk Arts now offers guided sightseeing tours of historical Blackfoot sites and traditional tipi stays. It’s a profound opportunity to connect with Indigenous artistry and history in an authentic, welcoming setting.
