ABOUT TATANKA TRADITIONS

We are a small, family owned company and our primary business is creating traditional dance regalia for the Native American community.  Rick is best known for his featherwork, such as dance bustles and fans.  He is of both Muskogee and Eastern Band Cherokee heritage.  In addition to our Native American and ScoutingŪ customers, Rick works with the costuming and props departments of several international dance troops, production with Universal, and shows such as Walker, Texas Ranger.

Our involvement in ScoutingŪ came about the same way most others become involved.  Our son (Eagle ScoutŪ and college graduate) became a Tiger the first year the program was offered.  A few years later, during Rick's first year as Cubmaster, he wanted something very special to award to the pack's Arrow of LightŪ recipients.  Reaching into his own heritage, he made each boy an Honor Arrow.  Word of mouth spread quickly and now, in our 18th year, we are honored to send thousands of hand made Honor Arrows each year to packs all around the world.
