Oklahomaâs first Native American-owned brewing company, inspired by the recipes of the ownerâs father, will open an independent location this summer.
SkyDance Brewing Co., owned and operated by Jacob Keyes, opened in 2018 when Keyes, a member of the Iowa Nation, started the business in honor of his father. The company has been operating out of a co-op â a single location where multiple brewing companies use the same equipment â in Oklahoma City, but will move to an independent location.
Keyes and his father had always wanted to open their own brewery. One day, Keyes found a beer recipe of his dadâs and made it. His friends insisted he enter it into a competition, which he won. The evening Keyes won the competition, his brother called him to say their father had died.

PAWHUSKA The photographs are faded shades of sepia and gray, and the newspapers that chronicled the tragedies and trials are yellowed and embrittled.
But for members of the Osage Nation especially those still deeply rooted in Osage County the history of the 1920s Reign of Terror remains as fresh as the under-construction wooden facades and newly painted storefronts created for the making of Oscar winner Martin Scorsese s fact-based film Killers of the Flower Moon. I grew up in Fairfax. Margie Burkhart, the granddaughter of Mollie Burkhart, was my best friend. So, we always grew up knowing that story. We knew the traumas of what happened to her family and to other Osages. But most of the world does not, said Danette Daniels, an Osage businesswoman who still lives in Fairfax and owns the Water Bird Gallery in downtown Pawhuska, just a block away from where much of the filming is underway.
