Message:: [QUOTE="Taupou, post: 859, member: 45"]No, Tyeldom3, it wasn't your blankets.  6rivets (formerly known as HC) was faster than I in identifying them, and absolutely right-on. It's the two pottery pieces described as "Navajo."  The larger one, the "storyteller," is not Native American, it is factory-made gift ware, made from a mold, with an "Indian" theme.  Most likely by Cleo Teissedre, who sold her company in 1996, but which still operates as "Teissedre Designs," out of Tuscon.  Neither she, nor the current owner, is Native American. The smaller piece, the little figure in the canoe, is Native American, but the tribal affiliation is Jemez, from Jemez Pueblo, New Mexico, not related at all to the Navajo, either.[/QUOTE]
