Acceptable gifts?

Hello,
I am a half native american from the arctic. I was wondering if traditional native things would be considered acceptable gifts(Jewelry, mittens,embroidered clothings, dream catchers). I was considering bringing some pictures of the northern lights too. Or would it be better to buy comercial things from a store instead before I go? I don't want to offend or be to cheap.

Bringing gifts from you area is much more unique than something brought at department store. I think they would enjoy that much more.

I used to live in L.A., and my parents and I bought lots of Navaho items for ourselves and as gifts to our friends in Japan. They're beautiful!

Something from your culture - Inuit or Aleut (sorry I'm not familiar with the native names) maybe, if from the arctic? - would definitely make wonderful gifts :)

Thanks everybody, I feel a little more reassured. I'll stick to the original plan.
And I'm dene, which is different very different from the inuit, though we do inhabit the same general area.
