I was in Gallup a few years ago and your right thereir are many cheap imitations out there and we know where they are coming from. Anyway I met Navajo Silver /Black Smith who makes jewlery out of him home and it takes him hours to make 1 piece by hand. His name is Tom Yazzie but he goes by the name Tom Hawk. Have you ever seen any of his work. It’s out this world. If I have some time in the future I would love to go back and buy some of his originals. I hope he still works out of his home. This is a dying art.

You’ve been to San Isidro! I live in one of those small towns in the boon docks. There ain’t no docks just big time BOONIES. LOL

Malama pono.

Wow, I passed there many many years ago on my way to my brother’s wedding in San Isidro, New Mexico…a small little town in boon docks. I wished I had bought more jewelry back then but all I bought was a small bracelet that got lost a long ago too.

I feel for the Indian Nation. They suffer to as our own people in Hawai’i Nei. Thanks for sharing this information on their plight.
