Hopi
- Tewa potter Nampeyo (c. 1857 - 1942) was known as the finest Hopi potter of
her generation. Her successful founding and maintenance of the Sityatki Revival
Movement in ceramics not only breathed life back into an ancient art form, but
also improved the economic standing of the Hopi - Tewa people and sparked a
family tradition of pottery craftsmanship that has lasted generations.
