Cheap, Authentic Native American Indian Items........?
I am trying to redo my bedroom, I really want to do a Native American theme, I've seen tons of beautiful things, but so many are either not authentic or very, very expensive!! I have heard people talk about these catalogs and websites where they buy authentic jewelry, vases (pottery), baskets, clothes, everything really, for very cheap. I know that in order to find great deals on this stuff, I'm going to have to look into a reservation catalog or online store, I'm not really wanting to travel to buy. The reproductions are cheap, but I'm more interested in 100% authentic products, I love the idea of the money going back into the Indian reservations, jobs, land, schooling, etc. because I myself am part Cherokee, I just wasn't raised in the culture. So, anyway, sorry for rambling.... Can you please tell me of a website or maybe a catalog that I could subscribe to????
It's getting late in the season, but you might consider looking online for powwows that would be within reasonable distance that you could get to. (And you might find yourself returning the next year. lol)
Likewise there is some expensive stuff, understandably much of it handcrafted items by artists, but I usually see some great deals too. Just have to know how to recognize the "made in china" from the good stuff.
For stuff online, you might try the Crazy Crow site. They carry a lot of craft/other supplies, etc. Might even look at kits that would allow you to make the item yourself.
