Native American art, history and culture from across the country will be celebrated during the 12th Annual Eiteljorg Museum Indian Market June 26-27. The festival is the Midwest’s largest juried show and sale of authentic, hand-made Native American art and draws some of the country’s most-collected artists.

The market will feature more than 185 Native American artists represent 68 different tribes from coast to coast. They will bring jewelry, pottery, clothing, paintings, sculptures, drums, baskets, beaded items and more. Plus, the event features Native American food, stories, dance groups and musical performances. A special appearance will be made by the 2003 Native American Music Awards Artist of the Year, Robert Mirabal, June 26 for one show only.
