About
Tanner Trading is your one-stop shop for authentic Native American jewelry, art, hats, boots, home decor, and more! This is the place to pick up a gift for loved ones or something for yourself. Let's explore this family-owned business in more detail.
Our story begins in the 1800s with pioneer, miner, and all-around good guy Seth Tanner. He settled in Tuba City, Arizona, and befriended the Navajo and Hopi Indians. He and his family learned their language, which earned him the nickname "Big Bear." This association led to trading, and while modest, Tanner Trading opened in 1872.
Today, the family is still connected and involved with the company, sourcing artwork from Navajo artists. Your purchase promotes Native American culture, artists, and stories from the Southwest.
The primary store, Fifth Generation Trading Company, is in Farmington, New Mexico, with the Park City store as the newest location. It's easy to find in Park City Main Street Historic District, making it easy to plan a shopping day.
Tanner Trading features two floors that are well-stocked with everything from rugs and jewelry to hats and apparel. They offer personalized consultation services to assist in selecting the perfect piece or rug for your home's decor. This extra touch enables customers to weave a story within their home with Native American artwork and stories.
Visiting Tanner Trading offers insight into Navajo culture and artwork, making it an eye-opening experience.
Tanner Trading: Fun Facts & Cool Features
A heartwarming feature of this business is that instead of exploiting Native Americans, it assists in creating a livelihood and lasting legacies. You can rest assured that your purchase furthers this mission and does not support a third-party factory overseas.
A cool feature at Tanner Trading is the personalized consultation service. The consultants can meet at your home, in-store, or via video call at your residence. The goal is to understand your space, style, and preferences. Next, the consultant will recommend artwork, décor, and furniture for your home. Lastly, they can offer tips on the optimal placement to enhance your home's beauty and cultural significance. If that's not enough, your consultant can help customize a piece to suit your requirements.
The store's convenient location downtown makes it easy to plan a delicious meal after a day of shopping or consulting. One standout to consider is Riverhorse on Main, steps away from Tanner Trading. You can also add a day learning about the area's mining history at Park City Museum and then shop until you drop on Main Street.
