Native American Fetishes Fair Warning: collecting Fetishes can be ADDICTING!!!
Under the FETISH section you will find some intricate carvings.
Fetishes are believed to derive their power from various sources, which explains
why there are so many different designs. They were created to protect their
owners against certain dangers. You will find many to chose from. Also new from
the Sante Fe Indian show are beautiful pieces by Artists Andy & Roberta Abeita
who are well-known for their skillful attention to detail. Some of their
carvings are actually large stone sculptures.
Native American Pottery
The craft of native American pottery making is handed down from generation to
generation among the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico and Arizona. In almost every
village there are a few who make plain kitchenware for their own use. With the
Hopi this is quite common. More often, however, the potters make beautifully
decorated ware, each in the style of her own village, and sells them as
decorative ornaments.
The categories above will show a sample of the different Pueblo styles and
designs that we have collected. Our pottery is individually handmade by various
potters and each piece is hand carved and hand painted with Native American
designs. The carvings are very detailed and are a beautiful work of art. We our
very proud of our collection at WhiteBuffalo1.com
Native American Collectibles
The MASKS category are creations by FAMOUS "Creek" Artist LaNeAyo. These are
truly the finest you will find any where. The original designs and fine details
are a real tribute to their artist. Under the SCULPTURE listing you will find
beautiful Alabaster carvings, Buffalo's, Mother & Father, Eagle, and many
different kinds of sculptures. Most of these where created and carved by FAMOUS
Navajo Artist Ben Livingston. Under the Native American ARTIFACT section you
will find peace pipes, fans, rain maker sticks, cradle boards and more. This is
one of White Buffalo's largest sections.
Hopi Creations
The Hopi Indians live in the arid South Western United States. They are a nation
of farmers whose very existence depends upon the production of food crops. Rain
for their crops is essential for survival. Throughout the summer season
ceremonies and dances are performed by Hopis dressed as "spirit" beings called
Kachinas. These dancers are thought of as spiritual messengers who convey the
wishes of the Hopi people through prayers, songs and dances.
Every symbol, design and color on the masks, bodies and clothing of the dolls
has definite symbolism and meaning; with a direct connection to the Hopi life,
custom, history and religion.
Our Hopi Creations section under products includes Shalakos, Katsinas, Pottery
and more. We also have a set of 26 Antique Hopi Katsina's available, check out
the "Hopi Antique Doll" link in our menu section.
Navajo
Here you will find Kachinas made by Navajo Artists. Keep in mind that the
Kachina has no religious significance in the Navajo culture. Navajo Kachina
makers and other craftsmen have borrowed from the other cultures for centuries
but do not always follow the techniques of the Hopi's. These Navajo Kachina's
are not carved from cottonwood root like the Hopi Kachinas but are less
expensive than the true Hopi Kachinas. Buyers have a choice of purchasing either
the Navajo or Hopi version, and there are collector's of both. The Navajo
Kachina was created due to tourist demand for them at a lower cost.
Native American Beadwork, Northwest Art , New Arrivals and Monthly Specials are
also special sections
These are smaller sections but represent items we have bought traveling to
different Reservations through out the country.
Native American Spirit
We have devoted our entire White Buffalo website to authentic Native American
pieces. In our travels we have found some beautiful art work that is NOT Native
but have been created in the Native American Spirit. With that thought in mind
what you will view in this section are NOT authentic Native American pieces.
