Handmade Crafts, Woven With Story
Gadugi Crafts is a Cherokee-owned studio and marketplace for handmade Native American work — beadwork, basketry, pottery, ribbon clothing, and so much more — each piece made by hand by a Cherokee artisan and carrying the spirit of "gadugi," working together for the good of the community.
Many Crafts, One Community
From beadwork and basketry to ribbon clothing, flutes, and drums — every piece is made by an artisan who has spent years, sometimes decades, perfecting their craft. These are just a few places to start.

Working Together For the Good of the Community
"Gadugi" is a Cherokee word describing people coming together to work for a common purpose. Our studio carries that name forward — every purchase supports a working artisan, keeps traditional techniques alive, and strengthens the Cherokee community here in Tahlequah.
Read Our StoryEvery basket, every bead, every carved stick carries a piece of who we are. When you buy from Gadugi Crafts, you're not just buying a product — you're supporting a tradition.
The Artisans Behind Every Piece
Keli Oosahwee and Joseph Price founded the studio and make pieces of their own — and enrolled Cherokee Nation artisans now sell here too.
