Native American Arts

Native American Arts posts cover crafts and visual traditions across many tribes. Articles look at Navajo silverwork and turquoise inlay, Pueblo pottery from Acoma and Santa Clara, Northwest Coast cedar carving and totem poles, Lakota beadwork on moccasins and pipe bags, and basketry from the Pomo and Cherokee. There are also notes on the difference between authentic work and mass-produced imitation, the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990, and where to buy directly from artists at trading posts and the annual Santa Fe Indian Market.
