We call this place Native Americana because it represents a collection of highly unusual, nearly impossible to find items that reflect the spirit and enduring will of Native America through the ages.  The collection represents the results of our efforts to bring you the opportunity to learn about Native America and to participate, in a small way, in the magnificent history and art of The People.
