One of my favorite songs is by Buffy Sainte-Marie. It's called, "Now That The Buffalo's Gone." It…read morehas haunting lyrics and melody and its sad truth has stayed with me ever since I heard it. After spending some time at the Georgia O'Keefe Museum, I wanted to see what other artwork Santa Fe had to offer. I had needed to see what happened before the buffalo were gone. A brief walk along Palace Ave led me into Huey's. The art in this gallery is American in nature and entirely native. It's a fantastic reminder of what this part of the country (or, more accurately, *this* country) used to look like. Inside the gallery is piece after piece of dramatic Native scenes. From lovers entwined in bronze to a warrior with bow & arrow drawn astride horseback in wood to a giggling child staring at you with eyes of wonder, captured in oil, I found myself mesmerized by the collection and eager to explore every nook and cranny to discover all it had to offer. The gallery doesn't need my accolades to give it business. Its work has been collected at The White House, The National Gallery of Art and The Smithsonian. But, I do think it's important to remember the importance of this gallery and others like it. Santa Fe is a beautiful city way set in the clouds (higher elevation than Denver). It's a wealthy city, home to many folks with lots of cash and vacation spot to even more people with more cash. Things aren't cheap (t)here. But, Santa Fe didn't always look like this. The Huey tells an essential part of this story, a story that must be heard and given voice... even while the privileged beauty of The City Different makes its halcyon call to wanderers of all sorts. "When a war between nations is lost/ The loser, we know, pays the cost..."

How does one get the word out for an art gallery if they don't take pictures and send said pictures to their friends of the art? Also the lady said to ask her any questions if we had any, so my friend asked her how long a specific painting took the artist, to which the lady responded "What difference does it make?" I think that says everything you need to know.

This welcoming gallery has an outstanding collection of pottery (ancient and modern), Hopi baskets and katsinas, paintings and even ancient Peruvian artifacts.

This was unlike any of the other galleries I've visited. Paul Elmore is knowledgeable, approachable, and extremely helpful to even the least informed, new collector. Knowing very little about local art except that I was looking for a tiny owl, he answered all my questions and helped me find a piece that I absolutely fell in love with! There was such a great variety of Native art, with something to fit any budget. I would definitely go back to find a perfect gift for someone, or another gift for myself!
