Another native craft from the area that resembles luthiery in some ways is pueblo pottery. Most of it is hand-coiled and fired on open fires and much of it is very finely crafted (and expensive). Check out shops in the actual pueblos - Santa Clara is a good one - for some relatively good deals, and to see a bit of living history. I used to collect the stuff but lately my disposable income has been going toward more musical artwork.
