Native American Sales at High Noon's Weekend

Reports from High Noon's Western Americana Sale weekend are very positive - at least for sellers.

A 1880s Navajo Pictorial Germantown blanket went for $74,750 after opening at $35,000 on a $50,000 estimate.

A pair of Sioux Child's pictorial britches garnered $24,150 and a Sioux pictorial beaded jacket with fringe brought a high bid of $12,650.

High Noon also sells other non-native items from the Southwest. The next auction is on February 6, 7 and 8, 2009 in Phoenix. Bring money.

Putting the "WOW" in Pow Wow - at Santa Fe Indian Market clothing contest

One of the most popular events at Indian market is the native American clothing contest. It takes place in the Sunday morning of the last day of market at the Plaza in downtown Santa Fe.

Tribal members dress in traditional Pow Wow garb and regalia, and compete for cash prizes as judge by a distinguished panel of "experts". Winners are selected based on completeness of outfit, authenticity to the instant tribes traditions and general attractiveness.

As you look at these outfits, you might be tempted to say that they put the "WOW" in Pow Wow.

We offer the following videos, shot in two parts in order to meet the maximum length allowed by YouTube, where they are hosted. For more close-up stills, after viewing the videos scroll down tothe last preceding postings.

We hope you enjoy the show as much as we did. Of course, there is no substitute for being there. If you didn't make it this year, perhaps in 2008?


Here's part one.


Here's part two.
