Supporting the Yamamoto Cup

Piazza Trading has been the proud sponsor of the Great Anishinabe Canoe Race, the Yamamoto Cup, for 10 years. From it's first informal race in 2001 until 2011. Each year members of our Company travel to Leech Lake Minnesota and help organize and put on the event.

As part of the annual race the winners in the Young Men's and Young Women's divisions are given an all expense paid trip to Japan. This cultural exchange program brings the Native American Youth from Leech Lake reservation to Japan and has been a life changing and culturally rich experience for everyone.
