Eli  Creations Flutes, maker of Native American Woodlands style flutes, is owned and  operated by Dennis Eli Pierce, a non-enrolled Cherokee descendant, born and raised on the Olympic peninsula in Washington state.  I am known as Dennis and Eli.  My  father was a flute maker and before he passed, he  asked me to continue the culture of flute making.    I believe being a flute maker is a calling and I thank the Creator for  bestowing the gift to me or I would not be able to fulfill my father's  wishes. 

The flute is my medicine.  It helps keep my blood pressure down and grounds me to mother earth. 

I  make the double chamber Native American Woodlands style flutes to honor my Cherokee heritage and the artistry of the Woodlands tribes.  The  Woodlands style flute has the nest (slot where the air flows from one  chamber to the other) on the flute and the Plains style has the nest in  the totem.  I find it convenient if you were to lose the lacing or  totem, you can use any flat surface item and a shoestring to continue  using your flute...very important in the woods or on the beach. 

Eli  Creations is located on Highway 503, also known as Lewis River Road, 10  miles east of Woodland, Washington.  We are located on the north side of SR 503 near Merwin Dam.  We are en route to Mount Saint Helens Recreational Area and the Gifford-Pinchot  National Forest.  East of our location you will find several lakes for  fishing and boating, the Ape Caves, Lava Canyon, numerous hiking trails, camping and Windy Ridge where you can see Spirit Lake and the east side of Mt. St. Helens.
