The appreciation of fine beadwork must be
cultivated. The rule of thumb is that authentic Native American
Indian hand-made beadwork costs $15 per square inch. This
is highly skilled work, by its nature very time consuming.
Acquiring such a piece is an investment. To ensure
that your investment will be protected, we issue a signed
Certificate of Authenticity with each piece we offer.
* Johnny Loudthunder
is a Hunkpapa Lakota, enrolled with Standing Rock Sioux
Tribe (#302-U11338). He grew up on the Yakama reservation.
The art of beading was taught to him by his mother and
father. Mr. Loudthunder is a graduate of the University
of Oklahoma.

For thousands of years, while other lands were ruled by
tyrants, the values of freedom and personal liberty were cherished
in this land. These values were the finest of the many gifts
the First Nations gave the rest of the world. The will to
fight for those rights at all cost was also in those ancient
people upon whose shoulders we all stand. With this in mind,
Johnny Loudthunder offers his Freedom Feather collection of
flag motif painted feathers to honor all American veterans.
