INDIANS TRADING THEIR HANDWORK FOR
SUPPLIES WITH TRADER FRED AT THE
SANTO DOMINGO INDIAN TRADING POST
Rich in the lore of days gone by, New
Mexico boasts many unusual and interesting
attractions. Outstanding is this most unusual
and authentic old Indian trading post.
It is here at the Santo Domingo Indian
Trading Post that the present waits for the past
while activity at the post goes on as it has for
many, many years. The nearby Indians still
bring in their corn, wheat, jewelry, chilis and
beadwork and wampum in exchange for food,
clothing and other essentials of life.
Here such a deal has just taken place with
Trader Fred. The staples having a set value, the
bargaining centered around establishing the
value of the wampum and jewelry, the value
of which is governed by the quality, amount on
hand, and the length of the wampum strings.
Supplies are then purchased to that extent and
are chosen according to need and desire.
