It is often hard to find Made in the
USA. When the opportunity arises,
this is our first choice. This can
sometimes mean slightly higher
pricing on items, but we try to make
that clear through our printed word.
Who We Are
We started with a card table at
powwows about 1969. Six children, a
VW bus, a carton of notecards and a
love for our culture were the
beginnings. Over the years we ran
the business out of basement and
vending at powwows.
In 1982 Andy (the oldest son)
graduated from the Native Studies
and Anthropology program at Trent
University (Peterborough, ON) and
started to run the business full
time. Over the past 40 years the
growth was all that we had hoped
for. We had a retail store in
Attleboro, MA for over 20 years
which we loved.
We were one of the very first online
Native American craft retailers
during the early 1990's. This
business in particular took off and
mail-order became our main source of
interacting with customers. In 2005
we moved our business to a better
warehouse space in Carver, MA (next
town over from Plymouth - "America's
Hometown"). In January 2011 Chris
and Carolyn moved The Bull north to
their home in Washington, NH. Here
we continue to run the mail order
business and welcome customers who
want to stop by and pick up their
orders.
Andy and Chris have been active
craft workers for over 30 years.
They have experience in many
different craft techniques and bring
that love to both new and
restoration projects. Chris and
Carolyn, Andy, Paul and Harriett
continue to attend many area powwows
and Chris and Carolyn also enjoy
re-enactments. This family group has
lots of experience with using and
understanding tipis, quillwork,
beadwork, woodworking and much more!
Visiting the coast of Maine, you
might want to stop by the little
bull. Ed Bullock, the youngest son
has a seasonal gift shop in York
Beach ME. |
