As
a Native American-owned business, we are committed to supporting
Native American art and artists. All art and jewelry
are hand selected and most come directly from the reservations
and the artists.
Rebecca
Martin is Acoma Pueblo from New Mexico. Acoma is located 65 miles
west of Albuquerque. She was born and raised by her grandparents
on the reservation and was taught the traditional ways of the
Acoma culture, including the art of pottery. Rebecca's mother,
Daisy Aragon, brother, Marvis Aragon and his wife, Wanda, are
all award-winning potters. Some of their work can be seen on
the Pottery page.
Rebecca's knowledge of southwestern tribal traditions and arts is
crucial to product selection. Jewelry, pottery, and art and
crafts are chosen based on her knowledge of traditional Native
American artwork. She knows the processes and materials used by
traditional and contemporary artists and the artists' relationship to traditional
arts and crafts. The pieces are carefully chosen based on the
artists' faithful representation of the traditional arts.
Enjoy a unique shopping experience with the scent of pinion
burning in a fireplace, gentle splashing of waterfalls and
soft Native American flute music. Bear Creek Gallery is a
Native American-owned and operated specialty store focusing on
the rich heritage of Native American art, jewelry and crafts.
Promoting, protecting and educating for North America's finest
Native American artisans and
craftspeople is an important goal at
Bear Creek.
