Art of Americana Americana Indian Show brings authentic Native American crafts to the public With more than 5000 authentic items for sale, the Anderson’s Americana Indian Show is perhaps the largest event of its kind to be found in the Inland Empire. For purveyors of traditional, Native American arts and crafts, the Riverside show can’t be beat. Coming to the Elks Lodge in Riverside on Oct. 3, from 11am to 10pm, Oct. 4 from 11am to 9pm and Oct. 5, 11am to 7pm, the show puts on display everything from turquoise jewelry to Eskimo arts. You can find Hopi kachinas, Navajo rugs, baskets, sandpaintings, sculpture, beadwork and much more. The origin of Americana Indian Shows began in 1968 in Flagstaff and Tucson, Arizona, by three brothers. Lee, Wayne and Arvid are native born sons of the state and are the fifth generation of an Arizona family which first came to Arizona in the mid-1870s. All three were born in Morenci, the copper mining town, site of one of the largest open pit copper mines in the world. The mine is also known for the high quality turquoise mined in conjunction with the copper. Lee and Arvid spent as much time as possible dealing in coins, especially at flea markets. Wayne happened to pick up a selection of Navajo Indian woven saddle blankets and sent them to Tucson where Lee and Arvid, in turn, sold them at flea markets. They were highly successful and the brothers were off and running. Trips to the Navajo Reservation began where they bought Navajo weavings wholesale from trading posts. As the inventory grew Lee began putting on shows with other dealers and individuals and soon it was shows that had nothing but vendors and artisans of Indian arts and crafts. By the mid 1970s their inventory became large enough and varied enough to put on shows with their own inventory. By the early 1990s shows had been conducted in numerous states from coast to coast. Hopi potters included many of the Nampeyo family, the Feather woman family and the Frog Woman family plus many more potters from other pueblos. Artists, the living legend, Harrison Begay, Beatien Yazz, Calvin and Irving Toddy-Yazz's sons and the late Robert Draper. Robert Redbird Sr., the very noted Kiowa artist, came in and established a long term relationship. Jewelers, the multiaward winner Al Nez, the fantastic micro-inay jewelers Carl and Irene Clark, Bruce Hodgins of many talents as well as awards. The list goes on through kachina carvers, Navajo rug weavers sand painters, and many other "art" forms. Sellers guarantee their product, with onsite appraisers. The inventory spans the ages, from contemporary pieces to historic works, many by the late legends such as Maria Martinez, Margaret Tafoya Preston Mononge, Camillo Sunflower Tafoya, and prehistoric items. Across the country, the Anderson’s host about 27 shows a year with the Riverside show having begun in 1980 at the Mission Inn. Admission is free to the show. The Elks Lodge is located at 6166 Brockton Ave. in Riverside. For more information, call (928) 606-2972, or go online to www.americana.net.
