Jewelry was used to carry traditions between the generations (as written language was never developed by the Native Americans). Jewelry also had an important role in trade between tribes, as styles and designs varied between the different nations.

Technology and creative methods were passed between tribes; for example, the Zuni first incorporated silver into their jewelry designs in the 1870s, after learning the craft of silver-smithing from the Spanish in the 1850s. This knowledge soon travelled to and was adopted by the Hopi, the Navajo, and the Apache, among others.
