Our Mission
As a federally recognized non-profit organization incorporated in 1990 [Arizona reg.# 02261435], the Friends of Hubbell perpetuates John Lorenzo Hubbell’s legacy, providing college scholarships to Acoma, Hopi, Laguna, Navajo, Southern Ute Nation and Zuni students and increasing public awareness of the Site. We also support projects at the Hubbell Trading Post National Historic Site. Related goals include supporting and perpetuating Native American arts and crafts. We invite you to assist us in these efforts by becoming a member or making a donation. To achieve these goals, we conduct semi-annual and online auctions.
Friends of Hubbell Accomplishments
In the 36 years (1990 – 2026) of our existence, our auctions have returned nearly $4,000,000 to the Native American community through the sale of weavings and other artist’s work that they have consigned to 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 – and weavers only get better! In addition, over the 36 years, our scholarship program has awarded more than $500,000 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.
