The Tip is 'Ask family & friends' After reading the Big Secret I began to ask my family and friends about Made in USA products. It amazed me how many of them were already thinking about the subject. After asking the question all of us began to exchange useful information about where to buy Made in USA products. This was a huge help and now my entire family bring me containers with the Made in USA label on them. I record this information for us by Submitting our Secret to Made in America Secrets. Now we won't forget and next time we already know where to buy. Looking is now a family experience and our friends too are involved. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by Native American Market For the past twenty years it has been very important for me to represent Native American made jewelry honestly and to deal only in authentic, fine quality merchandise. Our motto is: We bring the West to you.kim-in-store.jpg Many people have asked me how I happened to be in the business of Native American jewelry. So here's my personal story: I come from some of the original pioneers of northwest Montana. In 1883 Great-grandmother Maggie was the only white woman for many miles and she, her husband and five children had many personal encounters with the original settlers of the area- the Blackfeet Indians. I hope to write about their experiences one day. One of their sons, my Grandfather Wallace, held many positions during his life. He was best known as undersheriff, but he also was a range rider, rounding up wild horses. He drove cattle and owned a saloon among other endeavors. As a child he was briefly kidnapped by some Indians, but fortunately it was just a game to them. He was a real Western cowboy. Mother was born in Shelby when there was still no running water or electricity in town. She was named Garnet, after that beautiful wine red gemstone. Her hair was black and she was very dark skinned. (I take after my fair Scotch-Irish father.) Anyway, all of my family lives west of the Mississippi. Mother wore turquoise and my sister, who lives in and absolutely loves, Arizona, always has too. So the west is in my blood, and the love of all things Native American made. Enjoy perusing our offerings, and if you have any questions I'll do my best to answer them.
