OUR STORY

Running Bear Trading was started by Jerry Elkins in the mid 1970's. It is our goal as a company to keep the tradition and art of Native American crafts alive. We are committed to trading, buying, selling and producing only local Native American handmade and hand crafted products. We are located in Gallup, NM the heart of American Indian country. We are a wholesale company that supplies jewelry stores and galleries across the country and overseas with authentic Native American art from New Mexico and Arizona.

You can become your own boss, buying and selling Native American art. To get started give us a call or send an email. Please provide your tax ID# and Proof of Business (business cards, business license, etc).
