TAKE A PEAK AT THE MANY AWARD WINNING WEAVINGS BELOW

The Gallup Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial

celebrated it's 90th consecutive year of competition for the

Arts and Crafts of all the Native American Tribes.

The competition for Navajo Weaving is by far the largest of the annual judged weaving competitions, typically with several hundred weavings seeking the top honors.

It is not at all unusual for weavers and traders alike to hold weavings back for several months to a year, to enter into this prestigious competition.

In the past eight years, weavers we are honored to represent, have fared very well in this competition; Winning Best of Textile 7 out of 8 years Best of Show 4 out of 8 years
