Written by Erik & Cari
Photo of Wolf Rattle handmade by Chris Morganroth IIIWe're excited for our friends and neighbors in LaPush--the Quileute Nation has launched their cool new online store featuring authentic handmade and locally-produced merchandise. This is the real thing here, folks, not "Made in China," or anything like that, but high-quality products direct from Quileute tribal members. The Quileute Nation is renowned for its skilled artisans and this is the perfect venue to share their creations with the world. We particularly liked the carvings and the cedar hat, but there's something for everyone here--check it out!
