Taos Pueblo

The oldest pueblo that's been continually lived in, Taos Pueblo has been active for over 1,000 years.  Made of adobe and mud, this beautiful structure is a statement to the simple life style of the Native Amreicans who inhabit it.  It's open to the public and you'll find artisans selling their wares and residents co-mingling with the tourists.

Ketchikan Totem


Art takes many forms and this beautiful carved totem in Ketchikan, Alaska, is a wonderful example of Native craftsmanship. Tales are told in these tall sculptures and their stylized shapes and forms are unique to this part of North America.
