Introduction: Spirit Hawk, Inc. soon plans to open a fine art gallery featuring well-known Native American artists. Other plans on the site include a restaurant specializing in grass-fed buffalo meat and other game, a conference room, the Trading Post, powwows, Bar-B-Q's, gatherings, the Trade School featuring classes and workshops, and much more.

Maps: Maps are included for Yamhill County, wineries, and Oregon.

Gallery: The fine art gallery will contain many Native American artists.

Art Bazaar: We are anticipating setting up the Native American Art Bazaar on the weekends for Native American artists who create their own arts and crafts.

Tatanka (Buffalo) Grill: Our food service will include a casual dining experience specializing in the service of buffalo meat and products. The grass-fed buffalo meat is in high demand and offers an alternative to the typical fast-food diet. Fry bread and other traditional food will be available.

Outdoor Dining: We offer an exceptionally beautiful area for outdoor dining. There is also a professional volleyball court and horseshoe pits available for the customers.

The Gathering Room: The Gathering Room will host such events as musical performances, Indian dances, lectures, classes, and many other special events.

The Trading Post: The Trading Post will offer furs, beads, traditional Indian artifact reproductions, gift shop, and much more.

Church of the Great Spirit: The church will include members from various religious groups. Weddings and other social/religious events will be sponsored by the church. A sweat lodge is anticipated close to the river for traditional ceremonies.

Trade School: Our goal is to provide economic opportunities for the Native American through education, social, cultural, artistic, and retail developments. Classes and workshops will include Native American arts (carving, bead making, basket making, traditional dances, drumming, photography, publishing, grant writing, and more).

Local Growth: Sheridan is rapidly developing with the near-by Federal Correctional Institution. Spirit Mt. Casino, residential development, commercial and retail development, and a new museum for the Spruce Goose in McMinnville is just minutes away.

Spirit Mt. Casino: The casino is in the heart of Oregon Wine Country. Spirit Mt. Casino has become Oregon's number one tourist attraction. Construction of the casino began in 1995 with 89,000 square feet of floor space in an 8-acre development on Highway 18. Over 1,200 employees work at the casino. It is owned by the Grande Ronde Indian Tribe in Grande Ronde. It is located about 10 miles from Sheridan and presently has a hotel with plans for expansion.

Highway 18 Corridor Study: Highway 18 to the coast from Portland is one of the most traveled highways in the state. It is one of the main arteries to the coast. A detailed corridor study showing expected expansion is available from Yamhill County.

Federal Correctional Institution: The institution presently has approximately 100 visitors per day. There are limited over-night accommodations in the immediate area.

Motel: There are limited accommodations near the Federal Correctional Institution ("FCI"). With the increase in visitors to the FCI and the increasing tourism in the county, it is expected that a motel would have a high occupancy rate.

Gas Station & Mini-mart: There are no gas stations in Sheridan on Highway 18, Oregon's second busiest highway. Highway frontage offers a great location for a gas station.

Evergreen Aviation Museum: The air museum is on Highway 18 in McMinnville, just minutes away, with Howard Hughes' famous Spruce Goose.

Oregon Wine Country: The property is prime for development. There are 8.4 acres, commercially zoned, within the Urban Growth Boundary, with 1,000 feet of highway and 1,000 feet of river frontage. Go to http://OregonWineCountry.com for more information on development potentials.
