The Toadlena Trading Post (Toadlena means, water bubbling up) in New Mexico has been in business since the 1800's and although it has gone through some changes, it remains virtually the same as it has been for many years. It was interesting to step back in time and see what a true Navajo reservation trading post looks like. These trading posts are often the only close by source of supplies for those living on the reservations and they also provide an outlet for the Indians to sell their rugs, pottery, and jewelry.
