Founded in 1972, The Humiovi is Sedona's oldest Native American jewelry gallery and has been the Southwest's trusted destination for authentic, handcrafted jewelry for over 50 years — purchased directly from the artists who create it. Family-owned and operated by Abe and Feras Dalia, the gallery works with over 50 artisans across nine tribal communities.
Uptown Sedona, Arizona
In the Hopi language, Humiovimeans “the sprouting seed” — a name that speaks to beginnings, growth, and the deep connection between art and the earth from which it springs.
In 1972, at the edge of a small Arizona town surrounded by horse stables and open desert, that seed was planted. A gallery opened its doors with a singular vision: to offer the world authentic Native American jewelry, acquired directly from the hands that crafted it.
What began in a quiet corner of Sedona has grown into the town's oldest and most enduring Native American jewelry gallery — a testament to the power of authenticity, patience, and an unwavering respect for the art and its makers. Today, The Humiovi serves collectors worldwide — from Sedona to Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, Canada, and beyond — delivering authenticated Native American artistry to doorsteps in over 20 countries.
Rooted in Red Rock Country
The Humiovi is guided by brothers Abe Dalia and Feras Dalia, who carry forward the gallery's founding mission with the same reverence for Native American artistry that has defined this space for over fifty years.
Their approach is built on personal relationships — with the artists, with the community, and with every guest who walks through the door. In an age of mass production and impersonal commerce, The Humiovi remains a place where every piece is selected by hand, every artist is known by name, and every story is told with integrity.
This is not a museum. It is a living gallery — a place where ancient traditions meet the present, and where the work of today's finest Native American jewelers finds the audience it deserves.

From a quiet settlement named after a pioneer's wife to one of America's most celebrated arts destinations — The Humiovi's story is inseparable from Sedona's own.
T.C. Schnebly names the settlement after his wife, Sedona Miller Schnebly. The area is home to a handful of homesteading families, surrounded by the ancient red rock formations that have drawn people to this land for millennia.
Zane Grey's silent film Call of the Canyon brings the first cameras to Sedona. Over the next four decades, nearly 100 Westerns will be filmed here, putting this remote Arizona settlement on the national map.
An old apple-packing barn is converted into Canyon Kiva, Sedona's first arts center. Surrealist Max Ernst and painter Dorothea Tanning had already made Sedona their home, seeding the creative community that would define the town.
At the edge of a small town surrounded by horse stables, The Humiovi — Hopi for "the sprouting seed" — opens as Sedona's first gallery dedicated exclusively to authentic Native American jewelry. A seed planted in red earth.
Tlaquepaque Arts & Shopping Village opens its first shops, modeled on Mexican village architecture. Sedona begins its transformation into a world-class arts destination, with The Humiovi already established as a cornerstone of that identity.
After decades of growth from a ranching community of 2,700 to a bustling town of 9,000, Sedona officially incorporates. Uptown emerges as the commercial heart — and The Humiovi moves to its center.
Congress passes the strengthened Indian Arts and Crafts Act, imposing severe penalties for misrepresenting goods as Native-made. The direct-from-artist model The Humiovi has practiced since 1972 becomes the gold standard.
State Route 179 earns the U.S. Department of Transportation's highest scenic designation. Sedona now draws over three million visitors annually. The edge of town where The Humiovi first opened is now the epicenter of tourism and art.
