#10 Pioneer spirit
Uprooting their families from the security of the known, pioneer
families made the arduous journey west motivated by the promise of
land and the hope for prosperity. They followed routes from the
recently published "Prairie Traveler" on horseback and covered
wagons, enduring cold winters and scorching summers. Some say that
the American Spirit was born during this time, at the frontier, where
unrelenting travelers persevered through adversity and gave birth to
national vitality. "Pioneer Spirit" celebrates the fearlessness,
determination and ingenuity of the 18th and 19th Century pioneers.

Pioneer Spirit is not: "Navajo" style. Nor is it: Southwest style, cowboy chic, Little House on the
Prairie Puritanical, Kachina dolls, fertility necklaces, Concha belts, Bolo Ties, Lucky Horseshoes,
Ponies. Nor is it a fashion excuse to wear chaps. It IS eclectic, like the pioneers themselves. It
is a melting pot of cultures, raw materials, manufacturing processes, and centuries. Each
design, each item has elements inspired by the past but lives in the present.
