Loved my experience at Old Town, but this place takes the cake. Sure it doesn't have the finazz and the shine as the other stores in that general area, but that's PRECISELY the reason why I like it. When I walked in the other stores, mostly owned by Middle Eastern proprietors, I felt like I was approached by people working on commission. You know the feeling when your guard is up because you have a feeling that they're trying to swindle you...
The Indian Trading Post was different. It looked and felt exactly what I had expected it to look and feel like. The selection here was immense, and I really liked the fact that it was Indian owned and sold only Indian-made jewelry.
Mary, the clerk behind the owner was great! She made us feel right at home sharing the history of her people. She knew the story and the name of every craftsman/artist who sold their goods at her store.
I left the store with a beautiful bracelet for a great price and a lot of wonderful memories. read more
