Authenticity
Look for authentic Native American pieces. Genuine items should be labeled with the artist's name, tribe affiliation, and materials used. Avoid mass-produced "Indian-style" items.
Negotiation
While prices in galleries are typically fixed, you may be able to negotiate at outdoor markets or when purchasing multiple items. Always be respectful and reasonable.
Shipping Services
Most galleries and shops offer shipping services for larger purchases. They're experienced in packing art and jewelry safely for long-distance travel.
