History

Established in 1997.

The owner, Leslie Garcia, was born and raised in the heart of the Navajo Nation, Gallup, New Mexico.

«I helped my family by working in the wholesale side as a very young girl with my parents. My paternal great-​great grandfather owned a Trading Post in Chinle in the 1920 –1940 era.

«My grandfather worked with his father there until he married my grandmother. Because this was such a natural thing for my dad, and the product was so readily available, my parents launched their wholesale business.

«We started in 1970, when I was 10 years old, and haven’t looked back. In 1977, we moved to Tucson, Arizona and eventually moved into 30 retail locations across the Southwest.

«My parents are winding down their retail business now and are preparing for retirement. I’m still loving this business and very much involved in my own separate business. My parents have an extensive collection of old, Vintage, Native American jewelry that I plan to add to my inventory.»
