South By Southwest's Native
American Southwestern jewelry and artifacts come from the Navajo Reservation
in Gallup, New Mexico. Gallup is located amid the red rock mesas of western
New Mexico. The discovery of coal and the arrival of the railroad in 1881
transformed this stage coach stop to a cosmopolitan center. Coal mining
ended in the mid of the 20th century, but the city is still a major trading
area for the Navajo people and the Zuni Pueblo people to the south. Since
1922, the city has hosted the Inter-Tribal Ceremonials which brings in
thousands of Navaho, Zuni Pueblo, Cheyenne, Hopi, and other native people
for dances, craft shows, and a rodeo. The Ceremonials are held in August at
Red Rock State Park.![]() Due to our artifacts being handmade no two pieces are ever the same.
