Fun Fact: Gallup, New Mexico, is the only large settlement in the Southwest that still hosts, in any significant number, the unique mercantile tradition of trading post. Located between the Navajo and Zuni reservations, the town has 110 trading posts, shops, and galleries, making it the undisputed southwestern center for original, authentic Native American arts and crafts. In August of each year the Inter-Tribal Ceremony attracts upwards of 50,000 visitors, making it one of the largest annual events in the Southwest. Permanent grandstands built against towering red rock formations create an unforgettable amphitheater for the event.
