Family-owned and operated since 1987, Lema’s Kokopelli Gallery in Moab, Utah now serves as a leader in Native American tradecraft, providing an extensive selection of products to customers across the globe. Gallery founder Tony Lema Sr. is no stranger to the industry. Drawing on decades of relevant experience, Tony Sr. first acquired an interest in the trade from his mother, a Native American crafts expert. Although selling traditional arts and crafts began simply as his way to make a living, Lema Sr. soon expanded his understanding of the business by opening his first store in Gallup, New Mexico in 1975. During his time in the heart of the Native American lands, Tony Sr. became proficient in working with local artisans.
