Happy Holidays to you

It has been one year now that we launched our newsletter, where we share stories surrounding our company, the people who work with us and the organizations we support. In addition, we want to share all the beautiful pictures we have or we receive from happy customers: Tipis being painted, tipis set up on the land or tipis available to spend a night in. Our readership has grown considerably over this year, so we decided to create a permanent place on our website where we make all previous newsletters available, in case you would like to go back and read those you missed.

Our newsletter comes alive with the stories that our customer share with us. If you have beautiful pictures, ideas, tips and tricks around tipi living – please send them to us at [email protected]. We would like to thank everyone for their interest in this beautiful and meaningful Native American structure and for your care and respect of the land it has been standing on since centuries. We wish you a peaceful and joyous holiday season. 

Mural Tipi Art

Every year, we have customers who challenge our artistic imagination and abilities with profound visions or inspiring stories that they want to represent on their teepee. Other customers are mesmerized by the sheer magnitude of the canvas and are intrigued on how to fill it with beautiful art. A teepee can be the expression of a deeply personal journey, or the way to showcase the owner’s connection to the Native culture, to nature, to the animals or the place it will call it’s home.

The winter months are perfect to work on these large projects of ‘Mural Tipis’, where the whole canvas is painted. Here are some of the details that reveal how much artistic talent is required to produce one of these gorgeous works of art.  

If you are interested in this kind of teepee art, please allow 2-3 months for the process and please realize that we might not have the time to do these projects at all during the busy months of March-June. Don’t hesitate to call us to discuss: 541-389.3980

Dulce Base Tipi – Dulce, NM

If you are looking for a winter get-away and would like to experience the mountains, stories, and starlight of the Jicarilla Apache Nation, or just stargaze into the night sky, then consider a trip to Dulce, NM.  Dulce is situated 2.5 hrs north of Santa Fe, close to the border to Colorado, and it is the largest community on the Jicarilla Apache Reservation.

Heather Gomez, the owner of Dulce Base Tipi, works as a small business consultant, leading trainings and webinars for Native entrepreneurs. She is a host on Airbnb, where visitors come to stay in her tipis and experience a glimpse of Indigenous hospitality. This is a unique opportunity to support Native owned tourism and learn about the Native culture. Please visit Heather’s website or contact her directly.

Jon St. Andres’ Drum Table

In the October newsletter, we featured the story of Jon St. Andre’s drum tables that were donated to us by Molly and Tom Bedell. We kept one drum table as a decorative art piece for our tipi, and we offered the other drum table as a gift to a Native home. We received two thoughtful emails from our readers, expressing interest in it. We felt it was important to include Molly and Tom in the decision making, and they chose Heather to be the new owner.

Heather Gomez is a tribal member of the Jicarilla Apache Nation and the owner of Dulce Base Tipi in Dulce, northern New Mexico. Heather is also a host on Airbnb and we are featuring her accommodation in this ‘Tipi Vacation’ newsletter segment. Heather has purchased two Nomadics tipis from us, and both have become gathering spaces for cultural experiences, skywatching, and storytelling that connect their guests to the land and to Jicarilla traditions.

Heather stated that “It would mean a lot to give Jon’s drum table a home here — on Indigenous land, in a Nomadics tipi, surrounded by the same mountains and stars that inspired him.” She just sent us this photo with her partner Dustin Aguirre and the drum table (not yet set up, but all pieces including the glass top made the shipping journey without breaking).  We are very happy to have found the perfect home for Jon’s beautiful artwork.
