I hail from N.E. Oklahoma, near the end of the Trail of Tears of the Cherokees, which accounts for an interest in Native Americana. In my 84 years, I've collected many books about and fine art by them. Having traveled much of my adult life, I've collected world cultural artifacts as well as a little kitsch. Being curious, I've collected many odd items. Being creative, I've collected and worked with lots of interesting beads. My children through the years have come and gone, leaving me with some of their things. My sweet and smart heirs differ in interests and hobbies, so I'm relinquishing my estate via ebay and reaching those of like mind who will enjoy these things in more years to come. Placed ninety-eighth in the ninety-five percentile of Native American category sellers.
