点评:A “must do” if you ever visit Santa Fe, NM, is the Native American Vendors Program of the Palace of the Governors. Daily, year round, the jewelry and craft makers from the pueblos surrounding Santa Fe set up displays to sell their wares outside the Palace, facing the Plaza. While the local artists who have achieved some renown have their items displayed in the shops around Santa Fe, the local Native American families, often with the help of mom, dad, and kids, spread out blankets in their assigned stalls. It’s really something to see! Especially as the vendors move their wares on the blankets using long sticks with hooks on the end! :-)
And, there is something for everyone… jewelry, turquoise, silver, beadwork, small crafts. It’s just fun to browse and talk to the vendors. They truly are wonderful people, and we enjoy supporting them! And, much of the jewelry is beautiful, some better than what you’ll find in the shops. Lots of jewelry for men too, so don’t be shy about shopping! LOL But beware, they are tough negotiators! Great value to be had, at a fair price! Recommend you visit with the Native American Vendors whenever you can, it’s a blessing to interact with and support them!

每个人都能找到自己喜欢的东西……珠宝、绿松石、银器、珠饰、小工艺品。浏览并与摊主交谈很有趣。他们真的是很棒的人,我们很乐意支持他们!而且,很多珠宝都很漂亮,有些比你在商店里看到的还要好。还有很多男士珠宝,所以不要害羞,尽情购物吧!哈哈,但要小心,他们谈判很厉害!物超所值,价格公道!建议你尽可能多地拜访美国原住民供应商,与他们互动并支持他们是一种幸福!
