Shalako Indian Store is locally owned and operated by Frank and Marcia, who have been in the Indian craft business for over 30 years. They began the business by selling specialized items at trading posts and swap meets in Texas. The business quickly grew, and they decided to move to New Mexico and start a store in a small suburb of Albuquerque called Rio Rancho.

After about a year, they moved to Santa Fe and started what is now known as Shalako Indian Store where they have been for the last 20 years. They have been building mutually beneficial relationships with a number of Native American artisans for many years; consequently, they have created an amazing business filled with one-of-a-kind items.

The store is divided into two distinct areas: New Indian Crafts and Jewelry and Old Pawn Jewelry. Many of the new pieces of jewelry are specifically created for Shalako Indian Store. The Old Pawn items have been collected over the years from various Indian trading posts on the reservations. These pieces were originally designed as personal adornments but were later traded for other goods.
