DOOR COUNTY (NBC 26) — An Indigenous store in Egg Harbor operates on the very site where Menominee Chief Roy Oshkosh once built his trading post, honoring Indigenous history and culture.

What’s now known as Chief Oshkosh’s Native American Arts , a shop selling Indigenous crafts, wasn’t always a store. It began as a trading post.

"The room we're standing in is the original room," Coleen Bins, the owner of Chief Oshkosh’s Native American Arts store, said.

Menominee Chief Roy Oshkosh founded this historic building.

"During, I think, the 1940s or '50s, he lived across the street in that little bitty cabin while he was building [the trading post]," Bins said.

Bins, a member of the Turtle Clan, sees the store as a meaningful way to connect people with authentic Indigenous art and culture.
