The Totem Post is, quite simply, a Nashville, Indiana icon. It first opened in 1952 and was one of…read moreonly five shops in town. It is still in the family of founding owners Bill and Marielle Jockey as their daughter now owns it. Open year-round, The Totem Post offers authentic Native American jewelry, crafts, moccasins, knives, ethnic gifts, silver, and copper jewelry. The Totem Post folks are without fail friendly and I'm pleased to report that the shop itself is surprisingly wheelchair friendly (not always true in Nashville). A lot of the items at The Totem Post have a sense of spirituality to them and the times I've visited it has felt like a bit of a respite to even enter the establishment. The store has a bit of a fun origin story. The Jockeys were dancers on the SS. Uruguay who visited family in Indianapolis. During the visit, they were taken to Nashville, Indiana. Not long after, the leathercraft establishment went up for sale - The Jockeys moved forward and bought the place and quickly began establishing themselves among Native American and South American communities so they could carry high quality yet affordable items. While Nashville has certainly grown larger than those five shops from 1952, The Totem Post remains a local favorite and a tourist destination. I seldom, if ever, visit Nashville without a stop here.

We took a trip to Nashville and bought a small bag of mining rocks for $8.88. It was enough to…read moresplit for my two kids to each have about 15 cool rocks. What you get for your dough is a bag of dirt. You take the bag to the water stream outside and pour some dirt into a strainer and wash it off. You're left with some cool rocks. There is a cheaper bag of shells and a bucket for $24 - same concept. It was a busy day in Nashville and the lady behind the counter let me know I was taking too much time deciding what I wanted - "you just stand there and let me know when you know what you want. It is busy and I have a lot of work to do," she told me. "But I have a question - "how does this work? I have never been here before" I replied. The good thing about this statement was that it allowed her to give a big exhale. "ahhhhh. you buy the bag, wash off the dirt and you get rocks. Here is a card that will describe the types of rocks you will get.... Bring the card back - I don't have many left" seeing that she had about a thousand of these cards at the counter alone, I bought a small bag and kept the card. It was a good break for the kids and they really enjoyed it. A Customer Aervice 101 course for the woman (owner I think) behind the counter would be well worth it though (and would get her another Yelp Star!)

The cashier was super friendly and offered to take my trash and throw it away for me which was kind of him.
