Native American Art

		Kachinas are, as messengers, invited to the Hopi Mesas with proper rituals. They bring physical, aesthetic, and spiritual blessings necessary for survival in Hopi life. Our trading post's long-established service in the shadow of ancient Walpi and Oraibi and other Hopi villages has enabled us to work cooperatively with local kachina carvers. Together, we have developed creativity to a very high level, while maintaining authentic kachina forms. McGee's kachina collection, in keeping with the highest ceremonial standards, provides kachinas in a price range extending from the first-time buyer to the serious collector, museums and galleries
Finely made Hopi, Navajo, Zuni or Pueblo jewelry carries a tradition of excellence and prestige into the 21st century. Turquoise, associated in native lore with sky and water, creatively set in traditional silver and equally popular gold, can thrill any wearer. Likewise, coral, jet, shell, lapis and malachite can become irresistible treasurs. Silver, which is hammered, filed, stamped or cast, becomes belts, beads, rings, bracelets, ear rings, belts, pendents and bolo ties. Handcrafted jewelry means no two identical, and often bears the names or hallmarks of the maker. The displays of southwestern jewelry at the McGees Indian Art Gallery are authentic, and are of the highest quality. Careful attention is given to special orders
