Not for from Gallup is the Navajo Indian Reservation, spread over 15 million acres of land, and populated with 48,000 Indians, the number of which is increasing steadily. Navajos are accomplished craftsmen, their best known work being blankets, and hand-made silver jewelry set with turquoise. More articles of Indian origin are marketed from Gallup than from any other American City. Gallup is also described as the """"Indian Capital"""" Many tribes participate in the Inter-Tribal Indian Ceremonial, which takes place annually during the last week in August. The Hopi, Zuni, Acoma, Laguna, Apache, (3 tribes) Sioux, Utes, and several tribes of the Rio Grand meet for this colorful event.
