SHARP'S INDIAN STORE
YOUR ONE STOP POWWOW SHOP
Our History
Sharp’s Pawn Shop opened its second location in Ponca City, Oklahoma in 1989 by then owners Dewight and Mary Pruett. In 1992 our second owners, Leon and Judy Smith purchased the business. Being surrounded by five tribes, Ponca, Tonkawa, Kaw, Osage and Otoe-Missouria, it wasn’t long before locals began to ask then manager, now current owner, Mary Robinson to carry craft supplies.
From a few hanks of seed beads . . .What started off with a few hanks of 10/0 seed beads and basic colors of shawl fringe quickly flourished into the Sharp’s Indian Store we know today. Expanding its product line to carry everything one may need to make regalia both Northern and Southern styles, all while keeping the largest selection available of quality ready-made Southern style regalia in stock.
We moved to our current location at 118 South 2nd Street in historic downtown Ponca City in 2003. Our two story red brick building we now call home was once Ponca City’s first Ford dealership, still displaying the original etched glass windows bearing Henry Ford’s Logo’s.
The Premier Oklahoma Pow Wow Store in the Tri-State Area. We now have in stock the largest selection of Pendleton Woolen Mills blankets, accessories, men’s and ladies professional wear in the tri-state area. At Sharp’s Indian Store, we strive every day to carry quality, handmade regalia and beadwork. We enjoy making new friends, trading and sharing Oklahoma’s rich Native American Culture, and have thoroughly enjoyed providing goods to help keep that culture alive.
Over the years we have had the privilege of watching children grow and help dressing yet another generation to enter the dance arena. If you are ever traveling Interstate 35 in Oklahoma, take a break, turn off on the “214 Tonkawa and Ponca City exit” for a short 15-minute drive to our shop.
Our website will give you an idea of the beautiful and authentic handmade crafts that we have on hand at any time. We welcome you to come in an take a look in person and say hello!

As we are surrounded by five local tribes, we are blessed to have many very talented and skilled artists in the area. From elders very knowledgeable of the old ways, to new comers just learning how to bead on earrings and keychains, we buy and trade from many local beaders along with the occasional traveler looking to trade. We keep everything in stock from a complete ladies beaded crown set, or men’s fancy dance headband and medallion set right down to a single rosette.

Sharp’s Indian Store & Pawn Shop is located in the heart of Oklahoma. While we cater specifically to southern tribes, we also carry Northern and Eastern tribal regalia as well. Our goal is to provide the regalia you need in your price range if your budget small or unlimited
