Native American broadly describes any Indigenous people in North America and encompasses hundreds of tribes and groups, all with distinct cultures. Native American–style furniture and decor likewise varies widely, from pieces created by Indigenous people to those appropriated by non-native designers.
Indigenous furniture’s rich heritage includes the bentwood boxes of the Northwest Coast carved from cedar for storing household or ceremonial objects. Generations of Native American people have made baskets for holding household items, with those in the Northeast using sweetgrass and those in the Southeast using pine needles and wicker. Artisans in the Plateau region wove watertight pieces like cradles from plant materials. Although these objects were intricately made, they were usually utilitarian rather than decorative.
The colonization of North America and the removal of Indigenous people from their lands led to the suppression of these practices. Many styles that used Native American motifs — such as Southwestern style, which was heavily influenced by the geometric patterns of Navajo textiles — have historically not involved Indigenous creators and, instead, have taken their traditions without their tribal context.
When decorating a home with Native American–style furniture, it is important to do so respectfully, by understanding the origins of motifs and objects and examining who profits from their sale. There are now Indigenous-led companies, such as Cherokee designer Cray Bauxmont-Flynn’s Amatoya and Totem House Design, promoting Indigenous work in furniture and home decor. Supporting Indigenous artists and artisans is essential to confronting the still pervasive issue of cultural appropriation in design.

Adelphia Martinez San Ildefonso Pueblo Sculptural Blackware Vessel
Located in San Diego, CA
A sculptural hand-coiled and stone-burnished blackware pottery vessel by Adelphia Martinez of San Ildefonso Pueblo. The rounded body rises to a softly flared neck and is decorated with deeply carved relief motifs encircling the lower register. #5184 The carved imagery depicts stylized bighorn sheep (ram) heads with spiral horns alternating with arrow motifs, rendered in low relief against the lustrous black surface. In Pueblo symbolism, the bighorn sheep represents strength, endurance, and the natural world of the surrounding mountains and desert landscapes, while the arrow traditionally signifies protection, direction, and hunting skill. The pairing of these motifs creates a rhythmic narrative band around the vessel while emphasizing its sculptural form. The vessel displays the rich, reflective black surface characteristic of San Ildefonso pottery, achieved through careful stone burnishing and traditional reduction firing techniques developed in the early twentieth century by master potters including Maria Martinez. The contrast between the polished surfaces and matte carved areas adds depth and visual movement to the piece. Signed on the underside: “Adelphia / San Ildefonso / Pueblo.” About the Artist Adelphia Martinez was a potter working within the celebrated San Ildefonso Pueblo pottery...
