Rooted in Community
In 1971, Don C. began selling turquoise from a motel lobby in Gallup, NM. Listening to artisans' needs, Thunderbird Supply evolved into a cornerstone for Native American silversmiths and jewelry makers. Today, we remain family-owned, honoring our roots while serving a diverse, global community.
