Native American Pottery

Cameron Trading Post, open since 1916, is your online source for Native American pottery from artists from various tribes. Indeed, Native American pottery of the Southwest is an ancient art form practiced for thousands of years. The Anasazi, Hohokam, Mogollon, and Mimbres cultures of the early Southwest left many examples of Southwest pottery behind when they disappeared centuries ago. This great mystery which has eluded anthropologists for years was no mystery to the Native American Indians of the Southwest. They have long known that the ancients did not disappear, but simply moved and changed; their progeny becoming the Native American Pueblo Indians of today.

American Indian pottery today is largely Pueblo pottery, although Navajo pottery has made an important recent appearance in the art form. Other types of pottery that you’ll see on our website include: Acoma pottery, Hopi pottery, Santa Clara pottery, the pottery vessels of the San Ildefonso, Jemez, and Zia are the main sources of contemporary Native American pottery.
