The 2018 Best of Show winner at Santa Fe’s prestigious Indian Market was an Elkhorn belt, priced at $50,000, made by Lakota artist Kevin Pourier. Titled “Winyan Wanakiksin”, which means women defenders of others, the belt was an exquisitely detailed carved piece that took the entire summer to carve. (Photo/Rosanda Suetopka Thayer)
