Like many families in America, my family has some Native American blood that runs through it. Although, most ties to native cultures has been lost, my family still maintains a deep respect for the Indian lifestyle. My Grandfather is an painter and a collector of all things Native American. I mean, he makes walking sticks, Kokopelli dolls, and pueblo houses amongst many other things. He even travels to Arizona and New Mexico every year to stay with Native American friends. Getting to the point.... I was raised with lots of tribal textiles around, but I never thought they were very fashionable. Now, however, I am very excited to see all the new Native American textile trends showing up on the runway. I think I have finally found a fashion trend my grandpa and I can both enjoy :D This cost $43.97 + tax.

Oh man, I loveee your earrings. Can't believe they're from Goodwill, and they totally match your whole tribal-esque look.
ReplyDeleteIt really is a bit amusing how this tribal thing is a trend. It's funny because my friend (who happens to be of Native American heritage) has this really awesome pouch-looking pendant that only people in his family line can wear. His grandfather (or uncle...) actually made them. My friend gets approached from other people to have his grandfather make them a necklace too...but they refuse since it's not what tradition calls them to do.
