Yes, I've spent over 35 years buying and selling Native American art & artifacts.
First started collecting Indian stuff back in my 20s and amassed quite a nice collection over the years:
Baskets, Rugs, Blankets, Jewelery, Pottery, Pipes, Tomahawks, Bows & Arrows, you name it !!!
But my favorite to collect was always their Beadwork, especially "Plains Indian" and Southwestern:
Moccasins, Pipe-Bags, Strike-a-lites, Knife cases, Shirts, Dresses, etc. ... Love it !!!
And as much as I love their creations, I love and appreciate the Native American culture that produced them, as well.
