Gallup, New Mexico was founded in 1881 as a headquarters for the southern transcontinental rail route, but its story is much older.
Situated among the spectacular red rock formations of the Four Corners Region, these vibrant lands have been home to the Hopi and Zuni Indian tribes for many thousands of years and to the Navajo for generations. Their eternal respect for the area’s natural beauty has long been captured in their stunning hand-crafted works of art, celebrating centuries-old traditions and bridging the present to the past. Often called the “Gateway to Native America,” Gallup has grown into a thriving destination with the untamed spirit of a frontier community and a unique cultural diversity that can’t be found anywhere else.
At the heart of Gallup, New Mexico is a community of Native American artists. Ones whose skills have been passed down from generation to generation to preserve and celebrate time-honored techniques, culture and tradition. We’ve partnered with the most talented of those Native American artists to be the bridge between them and you so you can purchase one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry and accessories, infused with the stories, traditions and spirit of the Southwest, directly from the maker.
