Sachem name alive in Quebec City

On occasion I’ll try and find ways the Sachem name is represented in the world outside of the Sachem community on Long Island. Thanks to friend, he shared a photo of the “Boutique Sachem” in Quebec City, Quebec.

According to a travel website, the Boutique Sachem sells every Native American item you can think of, with items from Southwest U.S. Navajos as well as Québecois and British Columbian tribes: bear-tooth pendants, moccasins, Indian rugs, rabbit-fur hats, and a wealth of shamanic drums, dream-catchers, rattles, and chimes. The traditional Inuit sculptures are carved from bone and ivory from marine mammals as well as stone.

As you can see in the photo, the store colors are also black and gold.
