Thunderbird Backpack – $55 at Salish Style
Hiking Dad – This is one of those times I have to stop myself from buying this for me! This colorful backpack is designed by Ovila Mailhot (Nlaka'pamux). “Thunderbirds represent power and the strength of our people. To destroy and rebuild, I see the thunderbirds as being great liberators.” –Ovila Mailhot.

Bone Necklace Tee – $50 at Shopped Tattoos
Cool Dad – Lakota artist Cheyenne Randall is famous for his tattooed pictures of celebrities, but I love his older stuff which features a more Native aesthetic. This t-shirt is based on a mixed media piece he did titled “His Name is Not Bone Necklace”. Dig around on his website for more original designs.
Block Cuff Links – $120 at Beyond Buckskin
Business Dad – You need to dress to impress in the business world and these cufflinks are sure to impress! Made by Navajo artist Harris Joe, these cufflinks feature turquoise, coral, and black jet set in sterling silver rectangular blocks. Signed by the artist too!
Quilled Bolo Tie – $135 at Beyond Buckskin
Sharp Dressed Dad – It's Father Day and the go to gift is always ties. But no one said it had to be a boring tie! This bolo tie made by Lonna Jackson(Chippewa/Dakota) features three rows of quillwork around a center mirror piece. The medallion measures over 3″ wide, and the rope necklace measures almost 40″ long. There are 4 slight variations of this tie so choose carefully from Option A, B, C and D.
Sunset Pass Jacquard Organizer – $61.99 at Pendleton
Writer Dad – Maybe Dad's a poet, an author or just needs help channeling his inner Sherman Alexie. This Sunset Pass Jacquard Organizer from Pendleton is just the thing he needs to keep all his notes together. And it's currently on sale! One interior zip pocket, several smaller pockets and leather pen holder. Large pocket fits a small tablet or journal.
Diné Bizaad (Navajo Language) Colors Bandana – $15 at Beyond Buckskin
No Sweat! Dad – If your dad is a fitness junkie or works outdoors a lot, he's going to sweat. Why not keep the sweat out of his eyes with style? Check out these awesome bandanas from Navajo artist David Sloan. These silkscreened bandanas feature cool images paired with their name in the Navajo language – so you can learn the Navajo words for things like bicycle, butterfly, helicopter, and penguin. Neat!
