This was a dream come true!  My Mother told me before she took her blanket
up and made her final journey home to be with the ancestors, to follow my
dreams and to do what I wanted to do with the remainder of my life here on
mother earth. In her words life is too short.
I prayed about this, and then a door opened in my life, and I walked in. I
started out with two small boxes of crafts in a small area of another store, the
space in which I found myself, was also shared with another business.
The very first weekend I was sold out of all my crafts. This told me I was
wanted and needed. I have been told from most of my customers that they are
so glad I opened, that this gives them a unique store to shop from, one of
quality they can see, feel, and that they love.
I believe that one of the greatest aspects of this store is that it is a Native
American Indian Owned store. Folks like coming into the trading post and
knowing full well that when they leave, they can rest assured that they have
bought products that are genuine, and of the highest quality Native
Craftsmanship that has been handed down generation after generation by
our ancestors.
My Genealogy benefits the trading post because my clients know they can
get lessons in the Native American arts and crafts with the same attention to
detail and quality as was handed down to me. Lessons include playing the
Native American Flute, basket weaving, beading, and so much more.
Continuing to teach the traditions of my ancestors is a wonderful way for me
to honor them while educating a whole new generation. The store is growing;
I pray and trust the ancestors and the Great Spirit to lead me.

I LIKE TO CONSIDER THE GREAT SPIRIT AS MY CHIEF
AND THE ANCESTORS AS MY COUNCIL!!! THEY LEAD
ME AND SMILE ON ME AS I CONTINUE TO MAKE
THEM SHINE.
