NATIVE ART & CRAFTS

Having spent many years living and working with our First Nations friends in northern Manitoba Canada; we have acquired a special appreciation for their language, culture, and especially, their art and their crafts. On this page we are showing a few examples of the beautiful leather and beadwork of some of the items which have sold or are currently selling on E Bay. We also show some examples of works by some of Canada's best known First Nation artists. At the  bottom of the page you will find links to several interesting First Nations web sites. click the picture to enlarge click artists name to go to website
