Category Archives: Travels in Indian Country

Little did my parents know what a ride on a horse more than two decades ago would spark — I became horse crazy. I collected horse figurines and named each one.

Last week I had the opportunity to visit one of our clients in Arizona – the Tohono O’odham Ki:Ki Association (TOKA).

In the last six months since Architect Adam Teefey first shared his travel photos with us, he’s been all over the map

On a recent trip to the Lac Vieux Desert Health Center, I was struck by the amazing opportunities we have at Travois to see the country. It is easy to fall into the trap of rushing from the airport to the site and back home without taking advantage.

The Lac Vieux Desert Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians celebrated the grand opening of its new health center. The center will provide a full range of health services to band members and the surrounding community.

A few weeks ago I returned to Wisconsin and visited the Menominee Nation for the first time. (My previous travels to Wisconsin have taken me to the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, Sokaogon Chippewa Community, Ho-Chunk Nation, Oneida Indian Nation and St. Croix Chippewa Indians.

Travois staff attended the AMERIND Risk | NAIHC Annual Convention and Tradeshow this week. It was a busy and beautiful week in Hawaii! We enjoyed seeing so many friends at our conference booth and are always excited to meet new friends too.

From the first conference we attended, to joining the organization as a corporate partner, through this past week at the 34th Annual Conference, we continue to be impressed with NAFOA. We are proud to be associated with such a strong, dedicated organization.

Besides designing beautiful, functional homes for our clients, Architect Adam Teefey of the Travois Design & Construction Services team has another not-so-hidden talent

In 20 years in business, Travois has hosted 15 annual conferences to share information about opportunities for creating new homes and businesses in Native communities. And we’re known to have some fun, too.
