Native Arts & Crafts Display

Black Bear Crossings café proudly displays the painting of local Native American artist Behon LaPrairie on the walls of the first floor cafe. As you walk up to the café counter, you notice the wood panels depicting the seven clans, in both Ojibwe (upper) and Potawatomi (lower) languages.
