Chantal LaRue is the proprietor of Native Treasures. At 20 years of age, her entrepreneurial spirit is keen and her ambition to become educated in Native American art forms has inspired her to spearhead the Native Treasures line.

Raised in New Mexico, she has been exposed to Native Americana since she was a small child and has a deep appreciation for the artisans and their vision. She spends a considerable amount of time in the field with her father, Steve LaRue, the Native Treasures Acquisitions Manager, and is fast becoming well versed in the attributes of the art form and often acquires superior pieces on her own.

Her youthful exuberance insures that Native Treasures will be in the forefront of providing high end, one-of-a-kind creations for many years to come.

Steve LaRue is the Acquisitions Manager for Native Treasures and has life-long exposure in the field of vintage and contemporary Native American Art.

With the home offices of Native Treasures being located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Steve is positioned in the heart of the Native American Jewelry trade with easy access to such hubs as Gallup, Grants, Santa Fe, Taos, Southern Colorado and Arizona.

Steve’s appreciation for the art form is what drives Native Treasures. He is well educated in the particulars of the history, techniques used, tribal affiliation and overall quality of the wares offered at Native Treasures. He has proven to have an exceptional eye for one-of-a-kind hand made works, thus continually providing the global collecting community with nothing but the best there is to offer.

With the launch of the Native Treasures website, he hopes to broaden the scope of appreciation for this truly unique American art form.
