American Indian Craft Fair Kicks-off Holiday Shopping Season

Beadwork, jewelry, art, and native clothing will be among the crafts available at the American Indian Craft Fair on Saturday, December 2 in the Event Center Corridor at Turning Stone Resort Casino.

The craft fair, which runs from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., is a perfect spot to stock up on holiday gifts.

More than 65 crafters and creators will be represented at this year’s fair, and all of them are members of Native Groups. Organizer Tina Walker said the roster for 2023 represents the largest number of artisans in the fair’s 26-year history.

In addition to jewelry and beadwork being for sale, artisans also will sell regalia and other outfits for ceremonies.

This year’s craft fair also will spotlight Haudenosaunee Social Dance Exhibitions featuring Chris Thomas and his Smoke Dancers at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Chris is known for telling stories between songs so audience members know exactly what each song is about.

Historically jewelry has been the most popular item for sale, followed closely by clothing and more.

The craft fair represents a commitment of the Oneida Indian Nation to keep American Indian culture prominent.
