Our Mission
As a federally recognized non-profit organization incorporated in 1990 [Arizona reg.# 02261435], the Friends of Hubbell contributes to the management objectives of the National Park Service at Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site. Related goals include supporting Native American arts and crafts, perpetuating John Lorenzo Hubbell’s legacy, providing college scholarships to Navajo, Hopi, Zuni, Acoma, Laguna, and Southern Ute Nation students and increasing public awareness of the Site. We invite you to assist us in these efforts by becoming a member or making a donation. To achieve these goals we conduct biannual and online auctions.
Friends of Hubbell Accomplishments
In the 35 years (1990 – 2025) of our existence, our auctions have returned over $3,000,000 to the Native American community through the sale of weavers and other artists work they have consigned in our auctions. We have encouraged young weavers to put their first rug into our auctions and when they sell, it is a strong incentive to weave yet another rug – and weavers only get better! In addition, over the 35 years, our scholarship program has awarded more than $432,500 to Native American students in the Four Corners area. We have helped and continue to implement and fund goals the Trading Post management have, for which there are no other funding sources.
