WHAT'S NEW IN THE SHOP

 

We have recently received new fetish carvings that include additions to our families of buffalo, bears, eagles and birds, corn maidens, turtles, wolves, mountain lions, horses and more, and a nice selection of 'banded' pairs. We've also just received three new appliqué dance shawls by Marian Hansson (Kiowa). Marian received her traditional artistic training from her mother and has devoted much of her lifetime to the study of the culture and participation in numerous crafting techniques of the Kiowa people. Learn more about Marian Hansson, an artist who is acclaimed for both her traditional and innovative clothing and arts.
