Thirty-four years ago, Antique Indian Arts collector, Don Bennett, thought it would be a good idea to get some of his fellow collectors together so that they could buy, sell and trade from each other. Bennett invited about 100 dealers to join him at the Santa Fe Hilton Hotel and dealers and collectors went from room to room. Those dealers who couldn’t get into the hotel sold in the parking lot from the trunks of their cars. Thus, the Whitehawk shows were born.
