I stopped and bought a wholesaler's batch of jewelry the last time I seriously shopped Zuni. If this place is as it was then, it's a good place to buy either retail or wholesale. Most of the Zuni artists travel to Gallup on a regular basis, but it is adventageous to the Pueblo and the local artists for folks to buy there. There is huge demand for outlets for Native American arts. I think the Internet has likely been very beneficial in opening international markets especially with jewelry which can be shipped easily and with economy.
