Chwe’n - Greetings

My name is Harry. Some friends call me NakaneOnakwa. I am Dutch on one grandfather’s side and Native American on my Great Grandfather and Great- Great Grandmother’s side. I am not a registered member of any Nation, although my relatives are.

My work is the conclusion of my life’s experience. For nearly 70 years I have been an Artist in every respect of the Native American Tradition. I stand by the quality and traditional workmanship that goes into every piece of my Native American art, flutes, knives, southwestern art as a silversmith, and in my pen and ink limited edition prints.

I was raised off the Tuscarora reservation near Lewiston, N.Y. where I went to school. I still have friends and relatives of the Tuscarora.

After working for about thirty-five years in corporate American, my wife Martty and I retired and moved to the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon near the Snake River and Hell’s Canyon. It is the ancestral home of the Western Shoshone and Nez Perce.

Now I have more time for my art. Besides making Elderberry flutes I paint (in the traditional forms of my Pacific Northwest Coast brothers).

I make custom knives and beadwork. I also work in silver and turquoise following the tradition and culture of my brothers in the Southwest. Martty is the recipient of most of my silverwork.

I prefer Pay Pal.

“Nyeahweh” Thank you
