BACK TO TOP Friends of the Little Bull: The Mohawk Trading Post Louise, Art and Laurie York, purchased the Mohawk Trading Post in the spring of 1985. Their immediate plan was to change the general theme of the store from just gifts and Mohawk Trail souvenirs to a Native American Specialty Store that would feature items that were authentically Native American made. In the store you will find special and unique items and collectables made or inspired by the diverse cultures of the First Americans. BACK TO TOP |
