Woshdéé! Welcome!

Our family has been trading with the native people of the Four Corners area for five generations. We are noted for our encouragement of innovation and quality in Navajo textiles. Browse our gallery for the finest in rugs, Navajo and Zuni jewelry, Navajo and Apache basketry and other items. We carry a full line of yarns spun specifically for Navajo style weaving and other supplies for weaving in the Navajo way. Please consult our auction and show schedule to see when R.B. Burnham and Co. may be coming to a location near you or in a place where you would like to be. Let us show you the excitement of Native American art at the dawn of a new century.

The slide show at the left introduces some of the featured items from our rug and jewelry galleries. Occasionally, there may even be a picture or two that shows up that will have a link to an interesting story, so check back once in a while and see what we have changed and added. We have a busy auction and show schedule lined up as you'll see and our trading post is an interesting place to stop if you happen to be on I-40 or U.S. 191 in Sanders, Arizona. We're always glad to say yá’át’ééh (hello) to visitors and show off our gallery, wool room and ice cream counter.

The summer Smoki Museum auctions were held last Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. Friday’s auction featured Native American art and Western memorabilia, while Saturday’s auction showcased Navajo weaving. We’ve done a collage of a few of the pictures from the rug auction, which is always a fascinating combination of vintage and contemporary work and is attended by several weavers.

Our next outing will be during Indian Market at the Native Treasures Show in Santa Fe, NM, August 19th – 21st. See you there!
