At the Silver Galleon we are serious about finding high quality Native American products. We have been around long enough to know where to find the true artists, and have had the privilege of meeting many of them in person.
In jewelry we carry the work of many well known Zuni artists, such as Don Dewa, Effie Calavaza, Benjamin Tzuni, Robert Leekya, Pat Leekitty, and Bobby Shack. We also have several pieces by Calvin Begay, David Rosales, and John Nelson, who are all Navajo artists. Ben Mansfield, Floyd Lomakuyvaya, and Ronald Wadsworth are some of our more prominent Hopi craftsmen.
When it comes to dreamcatchers no one compares to work of Tony Cucumber, a local Cherokee artist. Billy Reynolds is another Cherokee craftsman, who specializes in weaponry, such as, bows, spears, knives, and clubs. David Parker, a Cherokee, is a traditional stone carver, who primarily carves pipes.
If you would like to see the work of any particular artist, please let us know and we will post the pieces that we have.
