Ep.39 | Holiday Episode at the Native Art Market

We're bringing you a special episode of the Native Edge, recorded at the Native Art Market in Scottsdale, Arizona. Co-founder Heather Tracy and her mother Denise Rosales joined us during the holidays last year, and we're excited to be on-site with Heather and her sister Shea Tunney in 2025.

Learn about the latest developments at the Native Art Market, and listen to guest host E. Skye Byrd and producer Mikaela Garcia share some of their favorite Native vendors and artisans - with websites on social handles linked below. You can also vote for your favorite food vendor at the Native Art Market by visiting their Instagram page.

Still need to find gifts for your friends and loved ones? Then this is the perfect episode for you. Make sure to also check out the episode on YouTube to see the market first-hand. We'll be back next week for the final episode of 2025 before taking a break for the holidays.
