Please do not confuse them with the many cheap imitations which are flooding the country. A genuine Indian article, with its artistic workmanship, beautiful symbolic designs, and costly materials, is a lasting source of pride to its owner. Imitations are what their name implies-meaningless replicas. "With an eye to the sale of Navajo Crafts, the traders exerted considerable influence on their designs and workmanship. It is largely to the traders credit that the craft industry has become stabilized to the point where a person buying a rug or a bracelet is assured of his money's worth when he buys from a licensed trader. Styles, in rugs particularly, have been influenced and harmonious colors, pleasing designs and closer weaving are now the rule. It was through the advice and encouragement of traders that some famous rugs as those from Two Grey Hills, Crystal, and Wide Ruins were brought to their present perfection." - from Navajo Tribal pamphlet Above: Jack Verkamp with world renowned San Ildefonso potter, Maria Martinez Left: Navajo jeweler Alvin Thompson and Dan Ashley Verkamp's General Manager |
