Who we are:

We are a small business attempting to eck out a living while living in a remote region of the Santa Lucia Mountain range. And, descendants of the Esselen Tribe of Monterey County still living on the same land our ancestors lived. We were then one of the smallest in number, tribes within California, though we are still here.
Our primary interest is in assisting those who create. It seems important, even necessary, to provide a setting where an artist, particularly the Native American artist, can have their work exhibited and sold in a professional and just manner.

For our buyer's, we have provided some information about the law designed to protect the Native American artist and their creative works, as well as guidelines to protect you from purchasing an item that is not authentically "Native American." For more informtion on this important topic, please visit our information page on the Indian Arts and Crafts Law
