Welcome to the 2012 Santa Fe Indian Market Week.
There is much in store for you this week in Santa Fe. Tour galleries, dine with
friends, visit museums and enjoy spectacular summer weather all a crescendo
for the reason you are here: Saturday and Sundays 91st Santa Fe Indian Market.
Indian Market comprises 14 square city blocks; 1,025 artists representing 160
tribes, nations and pueblos; the most discerning collectors and art appreciators;
and the paramount and most innovative Native art.
Santa Fe Indian Market is the grand family reunion. Whether were artist or collector, Native or non-
Native, connoisseur or beginner, its all here for us each August. Certainly there are other venues
where you can purchase and learn about Native art but nowhere else is the congregation so strong
and focused. Perhaps it is the creative energy of so many artists gathered together or the singularity
of purpose of 100,000 people intent about and interested in art forms ancient and new.
Indian Market is our wellspring; we return each year because it is the place to see friends and
family, the place where we purchased our first piece of Native-made art or met a Native artist for
the first time. Indian Market exhibitors bring newwork and save their best ideas and materials for
August as well. The diversity of art forms and styles invites you to learn and look and to spend a few
dollars or more for the true first American art.
We celebrate individual achievement but, significantly, Indian Market reflects Native culture by
emphasizing the health and well being of all. Afewyears ago I asked some booth sitters people
who were camping overnight at an artists booth to purchase fromher in the morning why they
didnt just buy froma gallery or call the artist on the phone. It wouldnt be the same, they said.
Indian Market is about the opportunity to buy directly fromthe artist and they wouldnt have it any
other way!
It might appear that Indian Market just happens. Market is in full bloomeach August; during
the other days of the year our staff and board as well as the artists plant and nurture the seeds you
harvest during market week. Staff members work all year encouraging and assisting artists with
applications, jurying artists, evaluating the previous years returning artists to ensure top-quality
artwork, and raising the money to build the next Indian Market. The Southwestern Association for
Indian Arts, the nonprofit organization that produces Indian Market, does not intervene in sales
and takes no percentage of sales. Artists do pay booth fees, but this amounts to a little less than one-
third of the cost of creating Indian Market.
The Official SWAIAIndian Market Guide in your hand is a wonderful example of the partnerships
that help create Indian Market. For many years, The Santa Fe NewMexican has been a trusted
partner, frompublishing winners names and booth locations to telling an insiders story of artists
and their work. The National Museumof the American Indian is our programming partner for the
filmfestival that begins August 13, as well as the State of the Arts Symposiumon Friday, August
17. Santa Fe University of Art and Design is another vigorous partner for the filmfestival, as well
as a sponsor of Classification X, Indian Markets Moving Images awards category. La Fonda on the
Plaza hosts our annual Gala Auction and Dinner, and Collected Works Bookstore is our host venue
for panel discussions, book signings and other educational offerings. Sealaska returns to Santa Fe
presenting cultures and arts fromsoutheastern Alaska. Other vital support this year comes from
Indian Markets official hotel, Hotel Santa Fe; Santa Fe Signs and Images; SantaFe.com; Heritage
Hotels; Native Peoples magazine; Native Jackets; and Conoco Phillips.
We are grateful to our title sponsor Buffalo Thunder Resort and Casino. The vision of Pojoaque
Pueblo Gov. George Rivera is everywhere evident in the beautiful resort and the art collections
that fill every available space. Aspecial thanks, too, to Carolyn and Bill Pollock of Carolyn Pollock
Sterling Jewelry for their encouragement and support.
To our wonderful volunteer corps we express our heartfelt appreciation. To the hundreds of
artists who are the centerpiece of Indian Market, we extend our gratitude and admiration for all
that they do. Last but certainly not least SWAIAthanks the many wonderful members and
friends who make Indian Market possible: Without your support and attendance there would be no
Indian Market.
On behalf of the board and staff of SWAIA, we thank you for attending and being part of the 2012
Indian Market.

Indian Market
welcomes old and newart
forms, artists, visitors
It can be hard to remember that Indian Market
has more to offer visitors than the best annual Native art sale in
the United States perhaps the world when more than 1,000
artists fill more than 600 booths in the 14 city blocks surrounding
the Santa Fe Plaza with a wide, wild and colorful array of jewelry,
pottery, paintings, photography, bead and quillwork, basketry,
textiles, carvings and sculpture, among other diverse art forms.
Although the heart of market nowin its 91st year always
has been (and always will be) the opportunity to buy authentic,
handcrafted work directly fromcarefully vetted Native artists
representing more than 150 tribes, nations and pueblos, those two
days are nowpreceded by a weeklong schedule of activities that
have nothing to do with art sales.
Weve taken the idea of Indian Market weekend and expanded
it to Indian Market week, said Bruce Bernstein, executive director
of the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts (SWAIA), the
organization that produces Indian Market and its associated
programs and projects. We want people to come, immerse
themselves, and learn more about Native culture so that when it
comes to purchasing or collecting, they have more information.
The weeklong festival schedule also allows SWAIAto embrace
more diverse art forms and to reach out to a wider range of visitors
than in the past. The last five years have been about trying to
match Indian Market more to who Native people are today,
Bernstein said. So the idea of expanding art categories and
getting rid of some of the multitude of [Indian Market] rules about
art making has to do with reflecting that there is more available
to people than ever before.
One of the more visible additions to Indian Market is the
expansion of the Native Cinema Showcase a collaborative
effort of SWAIAand the Smithsonian Institutions National
Museumof the American Indian into a weeklong filmand
video festival (fromAugust 13-19 this year). SWAIAs inclusion
of moving images as Classification Xthree years ago made film
an official market art category, with awards in five subcategories,
and it acknowledges that filmis an expanding universe filled
with potential, Bernstein said. It also brings an event that long
had been on the outskirts of market into the middle of market,
alongside the baskets and jewelry.
StephenWall (White EarthChippewa) anartist, chairman
of Indigenous Liberal Studies at the Institute of AmericanIndian
Arts andvice chairmanof the SWAIAboardof directors noted
that there was some resistance to including filmas anart category
whenthe boardfirst startedtalking about it. But film, he said, is an
important, if different, outlet for younger Native artists. Andmaybe
it isnt all that different, Wall said. Were usedto seeing paintings,
andsomebody starts telling the story of their painting, andthat
painting is like a snapshot of that story, one theme out of that whole
story. I canmake a sculpture andtell howthat sculpture came about,
the whole back story onthat, but thats still a freeze frame capturing
a part of that story, whereas the filmitself is the whole story.
Film, Wall predicted, is going to become more and more
important in tribal communities. You can take pretty decent video
on iPhones, you can take decent video on iPads, you can download
editing devices and put together a pretty decent filmand then
what do you do with it? Having Classification Xprovides a venue
to begin to sort through and identify those young emerging artists
who have a vision and a story to tell.
The larger emphasis onfilmis just one of the ways IndianMarket
nowincorporates more events that bring out what Bernsteincalls
the narrative aspects of Native art. People may not realize it, he said,
but artwork is about narrative. Anartist is telling yousomething
about his or her life. Filmis aneasy way to see that, [but] pottery is
along the continuumas well. What we want to do is get people more
intune withthat narrative, hear more fromartists about what their
narratives may or may not meanto them.
Events that tell the stories behind the art in addition to the
conversations that artists have always had with people who come
to their booths include readings and book signings, music and
dance performances. Sealaska, a big hit in 2011, returns to the
market stage with Native dancers and cultural performers from
southeast Alaska. Newthis year is the Buffalo Thunder Stage on
the Plaza, featuring traditional Pueblo songs and dances.
Diversity, longevity and relationships are other words that
Bernstein said can help visitors understand the true mission and
meaning of Indian Market.
The beauty of market, Bernsteinsaid, is its diversity. Inthe
middle of market youve got people who are absolutely community-
boundinterms of where they do their artwork, keeping those
culture-specific art forms very muchalive. Andthenonthe other
endof the spectrum, maybe inthe boothright next to that person,
is somebody who has gone off to art school andis doing something
that appears at first blushto have nothing to do withtheir own
community. Diversity is what fuels markets growthnot inthe
number of artists includedinthe showbut inthe number of new
types of art includedunder the IndianMarket umbrella.
Indian Market also has longevity, Bernstein said, that is unlike
anything else, except Native cultures themselves. Some families
have been involved with market for six or seven generations now,
and many of the same Native communities that participated in the
first market in 1922 are still involved. Individual artists showfor
five, 10, even 30 years. So what you see in longevity, Bernstein
said, is an artists work over a long period of time. Unlike a
publication or exhibition or gallery show, where you have a very
thin slice of time, you really get a sense of an artist and his or her
understanding of the world.
Longevity also means that even as market stretches to include
newart forms, newtribes and newprograms to appeal to more
diverse audiences and artists, it continues to honor its own
history. SWAIAs focus on Pueblo pottery and the establishment
of a Potters Educational Fund this year are part of that honoring,
Bernstein said. Pottery is what Indian Market was created
around. We dont want to get way out in front of ourselves in terms
of just going with the low-hanging fruit. We have to take a lesson
fromwhat has kept Native communities strong in NewMexico.
Perhaps most importantly, though, Indian Market is about
relationships. Relationships include the artist to his or her work,
the artist to his or her community and family and the relationship
of artists and their collectors and appreciators, Bernstein said.
Market is indeed the wellspring, the origin place for Native art;
its the first place where many people perhaps bought their first
piece of Native art, and even if theyre not buying anymore, they
come to renewthose relationships.
This the annual gathering, [the time to renew] those
relationships where you maybe see someone once a year. Its the
grand community family reunion.

Indian Market visitors come
fromaround the world for
many reasons to buy the best
Native art, meet Indian artists,
understand historic traditions, show
off their finery, people-watch, take photos,
hold annual reunions, or just soak up the color and
excitement of the internationally renowned event.
All this fun and activity comes together at Saturdays SWAIA
Auction Gala and Dinner at the historic La Fonda on the Plaza.
Over the years, this festive evening has become a highlight of
the weekend for artists, collectors, and visitors both old and
newa time for celebration, renewing old friendships, and
making newfriends.
Events to help SWAIAmeet Indian Market programexpenses
began in the 1950s with assorted raffles, dances, and auctions,
which evolved into sporadic galas in the 1980s and became
an annual event in 1999. But the concept really picked up
momentumin 2000, when artists began working together to
create large-scale collaborative artworks, making the live auction
a more significant piece of the organizations annual fundraising.
The first collaborative donation, a concho belt organized by
1997 Best of Showartist Daniel Sunshine Reeves (Din) in
2001, as a way for artists to give back what Indian Market has
given themover the years, was followed by such diverse works as
a fully functional hand-painted 1974 Triumph TR6 accessorized
by multiple artists; a sculpture symbolizing individual effort
and the community gathering together; detachable painted
panels for a Viking refrigerator; a ponderosa pine table and 10
chairs; a custom-built motorcycle; a silver box; a triptych with
interchangeable 5x5-inch squares; and a silver-and-gold, gem-
encrusted butterfly necklace.
The central collaborative piece to be auctioned off this year
is a Friendship Necklace conceived by Reeves to commemorate
the first collaborative donationby a group of artists in2001.
The piece, based ona traditional squash blossomnecklace,
is composed of 66 stamped silver beads made by Reeves; the
clasp, the centerpiece, and the 10 attached pieces replacing the
traditional squash blossomdesigns were created by 12 other
award-winning artists, who joined
inthe collaborative planning,
design, and assembly of the necklace.
Another outstanding collaborative
piece to be auctioned off on August 18 is
a pot designed by four prize-winning potters.
Russell Sanchez and 1989 Best of Showwinner Nancy
Youngblood built the pot, and the etched and incised designs are
by Jody Naranjo and Jennifer Moquino.
Victoria Adams, Veronica Benally, and Fritz Casuse are each
making a special piece of jewelry for the live auction, as well as
a design spinoff for a multifabricated piece to be sold online by
Carolyn Pollack Jewelry, a major Indian Market sponsor.
The HatSmith of Santa Fe donated nine felt hats, which have
been painted by Indian Market artists. Some of the hats will be in
the silent auction and some in the live auction.
Three-time Best of Showwinner Joyce Growing Thunder
Fogarty is donating a beadwork piece made in collaboration with
her daughter Juanita and her granddaughter Jessa Rae, who was
elected Miss Indian World 2012 this past spring. Last years Best
of ShowWinner, Passamaquoddy basket maker Jeremy Frey, is
donating a newbasket to the live auction.
The gala is an opportunity for artists, collectors, SWAIAstaff,
and visitors old and newto get together at an elegant party to
celebrate this years market and for attendees to secure the
Santa Fe Indian Market tradition for another year with their bids.
For SWAIAs executive director Bruce Bernstein, the evening
is not only a celebrationof this years market. It is the crucial
fundraiser for the next years market, since booth fees represent
less than40 percent of what is needed, he said.
SWAIAboardmember Jenny Auger Maw, who is the Gala
Committee chair for the thirdyear, saidthat last years gala was
not as productive as prior years because artists hadgone through
several leanyears andguests were not as inclinedto spendas much
as inprior years. However, inspite of the economic downturn,
last years attendees still bidgenerously andcontributed$210,000
towardthis years IndianMarket. Mawanticipates that this years
incredible artist donations will bring about a returnof enthusiastic
participationinboththe silent andlive auctions.

Metalsmith Kenneth Johnson tells the
story: It was 1997. Sunshine Reeves got
Best of Show for his stamped silver tea
set, and he wanted to do something for
SWAIA. That was the genesis of the first
collaborative project organized by Indian
Market artists a concho belt auctioned
off at the SWAIA Gala in 2001.
Daniel Sunshine Reeves whose
name refers to the sun-tinted hair he
had as a child recalled asking a group
of SWAIA artists to come together for a
good cause in 2001. In those days, SWAIA
was facing hard times, he said. For a lot
of artists, Indian Market really starts your
career. I wanted to make sure SWAIA could
keep on giving people those opportunities.
The innovative work raised a
groundbreaking $42,000 surprising
artists, staff and board members alike
and started a tradition of unique
collaborations that continue to bring
national attention to market artists and
SWAIAs annual fundraising event.
This year Johnson was one of 13
acclaimed jewelers including five of
the original concho belt collaborators
who worked together to create another
unique piece.
In June, eight of the jewelers gathered
at Pat Pruitts design studio in Paguate,
New Mexico one of the six villages of
Laguna Pueblo, 116 miles southwest of
Santa Fe to assemble their donation,
a squash blossom-inspired Friendship
Necklace to be sold at the 2012 Indian
Market Live Auction Gala on Saturday
evening, August 18.
Eight men, joined by a few invited
SWAIA staff, passed 60 sterling
silver beads, 10 pendants, a naja (the
centerpiece, or base of the necklace)
and a clasp around Pruitts kitchen table,
admiring Grade 5 titanium next to sterling
silver and Fox, Blue Gem, Tiffany and
Sleeping Beauty turquoise. The pendants
had been stamped, cast, oxidized and
inlaid. One, by Myron Panteah, was
reversible. Allen Aragon had used
cloisonn technique for his pendant, the
only enameled piece in the necklace.
Its always a fun time, getting to see
how other artists have specialized in
what it is they do, Pruitt observed. I
get to learn certain tips and tricks that
are often overlooked not to mention
the friendship that is built by doing this
work together. His pendant incorporates
Fox turquoise, Grade 5 titanium, and
the shapes of cast tufa belt buckles and
kehtos, or bow guards.
Eyes wide, Johnson picked up The Four
Seasons of Mother Earth by Ken Romero,
a pendant inlaid with 140 tiny stones of
Sleeping Beauty turquoise, and held it
inches from his nose, counting.
Vernon Haskie, who contributed the
naja, noted that it was definitely a one-of-
a-kind piece and very extraordinary. He
was also pleased that two female jewelers,
although not present for the assembly,
participated in the collaboration.
Liz Wallace was the first one out of the
gate, Johnson said.
Positioning himself at a drill, surrounded
by his friends and collaborators, Reeves
who fashioned the 60 sterling silver
beads that connect all 10 pendants and the
naja enlarged the holes in the beads,
completing his effort to bring the work of
13 artist friends together. With a breaking
load of 480 pounds, the cable will easily
support the weight of the beads and
pendants.
It looks like you guys put your heart in
it, he said, and it is just awesome to see it
all together. Thank you.
Thanks To The 13

ThirTeen naTive jewelers give back To swaia again
By Dennis J. Carroll
Children have always been a big part of Indian Market, often traveling many miles with
their parents and helping themset up the booths and doing what they can to help sell
artwork made by Momand Dad. And sometimes theyre even showing their own work
alongside that of their parents, grandparents or other relatives. But until this year there
were never booths devoted solely to childrens artworks and educational activities.
We realize that the future of Native art is with the younger generation both
in running [Indian Market] and participating in it, said Wahlesah Dick (United
Keetoowah Band), coordinator of the markets childrens activities for SWAIA. To that
end, special childrens booths along Washington Avenue during the 2012 market will
feature artwork by the children themselves and live demonstrations by Native artists,
including high-fashion artist and beadwork craftsman Orlando Dugi and painter Ryan
Singer, both Din (Navajo).
Children ages 6 to 18 will also be encouraged to create artwork in hands-on
workshops offered by artists in the Washington Avenue booths during the market,
Dick said. There is no charge for the activities, but young people who would like
to participate (or their parents) are urged to call her at (918) 457-9234 for further
information about the program.
Dick can also answer questions about an ongoing artist-mentoring programthat
began in May. The artwork of those young students is on display in the Washington
Avenue booths during Indian Market and at the downtown branch of the Santa Fe
Public Library, she said.
Helping children and being a role model is pretty important to developing their
artistic talents, said Dugi, who has been mentoring and teaching nine students from
mixed cultures in grades three to 10 as part of the mentoring program. Its a great way
to pass on knowledge that I have learned. It is only right to teach someone else howto do
it, said Dugi, who is known for his intricate bead embroidery and design of high-fashion
evening-wear accessories such as purses. Giving themdirection is important.
Other artists participating in the mentoring programand the workshops and
hands-on activities include Linda Lomahaftewa, a Hopi and Choctawprintmaker,
painter and educator; Native filmmaker Chris Eyre (Cheyenne/Arapaho); and

On June 2, Wanda Aragon sat under a large white
party tent at the Allan Houser Studio and Sculpture
Gardens in Galisteo. The day was hot and windy, the air tangy
with smoke froma fire in the Gila National Forest. Aragon
spoke about selling pottery with her family when she was
a child in the 1950s. We used to sit on the roadside of
Highway 66, which is nowI-40. Wed set up in wooden
shacks and hold up pottery to the cars driving by, and we
even had white flags to alert themthat something was
happening here. She paused. Times have changed.
Aragon is fromAcoma Pueblo and has been a potter for most of
her life. She was at the Allan Houser compound for a gathering of
approximately 80 potters organized by the Southwestern Association for
Indian Arts in response to the shifting landscape of Pueblo pottery, which has
declined in popularity and in practitioners in recent years.
At Indian Market last year, painters surpassed potters for the first time in market
history. (Jewelry has long been the markets most popular category, followed closely by
painting and pottery.) The Institute for American Indian Arts offers one lab course in
traditional pottery, but according to Ann Filemyr, academic dean, the schools focus has
always been on contemporary art forms.
Traditional pottery techniques have long been passed down through Pueblo families,
but theres a dearth of young, aspiring potters as the existing potter population ages.
Increasingly, the pottery market (outside of Santa Fe Indian Market) is flooded with
souvenirs and knockoffs. Many pots are made using greenware or acrylic paints, while
others are mass-produced the antithesis of a traditionally crafted handmade piece.
For a piece of pottery to be considered traditional, it must meet several criteria. The clay
must be gathered and processed by hand. The pot must be hand-built and fired outdoors
before ornamentation is added, which can include paints, slips
and carvings. Then the pot is fired a final time. The process is
necessarily slowand careful.
Last year, SWAIAdecided to bring the potters together this June to address the
challenges they face in 2012. The convocation was arranged for two reasons:
to honor the potters with a ceremony, dinner and medals designed by Jody
Naranjo of Santa Clara Pueblo, and to open and encourage dialogue
among potters. Before dinner, the potters met and took turns sharing
their stories and offering suggestions about howto keep pottery vital
and relevant in the years to come.
The only time of the year potters get together is Indian Market,
and they dont usually have a chance to speak to each other,
said Bruce Bernstein, executive director of SWAIA, before the
gathering. With the help of several donors, weve put together the
Potters Education Fund. Its intended to help single out potters that
are working in traditional methods and to differentiate themfromthe
other work thats going on. The discussion will also be about getting new
markets and newcollectors for potters. We want to growthe market and we want
to interest people in pottery, so the educational portion is to help people understand what
a unique art formthis is. SWAIAwill be there to listen and learn and to understand how
we might be able to help.
Market was built around Pueblo potters, Bernstein explained. He spoke of Santa Clara
artists Maria and Julian Martinezs development of black-on-black pottery in the 1920s,
just as Indian Market (then called Indian Fair) was beginning. Without that newstyle,
Indian Market would not have been successful.
He predicted that much of the potters discussion would focus on traditional methods
and techniques. Each of those sound rather straightforward, but each is laden with
cultural values, Bernstein said. I dont think its the position of SWAIAto say that people
should make one thing over another. But we want to honor those people who want to go
the longer route. Collecting your own clay, for instance, is an activity thats fraught with
cultural, family and community values, and you dont get that in a store.
Potter powwow
Pueblo artists discuss ways to sustain traditional art form
Attendees listen to Bruce Bernstein, executive director of SWAIA, speak during the reception
honoring Pueblo potters at the Allan Houser Studio and Sculpture Gardens in June.

Building a Bridge to youth
During the conversations at the Houser compound, nearly every potter described his or
her particular methods and the lengthy process of making pottery, which begins with
gathering clay. Family tradition is often the basis for a potters methods.
When I was small, I watched both of my grandmothers and my mother and all of her
sisters make pottery, Aragon explained. I do everything the way my momtaught me,
fromgathering the clay and cleaning it. Its a lot of steps just to get the clay. Then, wed go
out and pick the pottery shards, soak them, clean them, pound themto a fine powder and
mix it together with the clay because it gives it a temper, makes it stick together. This is
the way my ancestors made pottery. [During] every step you sing and pray for the spirits
to guide you.
Aragons 12-year-old grandson, Isaiah, likes to make figurines of horses with little boys
on their backs. ImOKwith Isaiah making contemporary shapes, Aragon said. I hope as
he grows hell steer toward traditional shapes, but either way, its OK. It has to be what the
artist likes.
Max Early, fromLaguna Pueblo, is a self-described member of the younger generation of
Pueblo potters. Early is 48 (but looks at least a decade younger) and has three children ages
24, 20 and 18. His son David, 20, a student at IAIA, attended the conference with his father.
In Earlys family, pottery skipped a generation: His grandmother made pots, but his mother
didnt. There was something in me; I had to be a potter, Early told his fellowartists.
There isnt much desire in the youth, Early said of recruiting newpotters to learn
the traditional methods. I organized a class [at Laguna] but the students didnt arrive.
[Pottery] does take patience, and the younger generation is used to getting things more
quickly. Early expressed gratitude to his own mentor, Gladys Paquin, whos also from
Laguna. She taught me to do outdoor firing, he said. I want to be like Paquin was for me
for the next generation. Some potters Ive never met before e-mailed me. I said, Why are
you e-mailing me? Come over and have a cup of coffee; well go fromthere.
Early advocated skill sharing and building connections within and across pueblos as
a means of passing down traditional pottery techniques. After the public conversations,
Early remembered howhe learned to mix clay froman experienced potter in Cochit. He
taught me that the right combination of clay, sand and water is essential, Early explained.
You knowits just right when you can roll the coils out to the diameter of a pencil and it
doesnt crack or break.
Potters differed on certain topics, like firing methods and howto share information and
skills. For pottery to be considered traditional, many artists, collectors and dealers argue
that it must be fired outside, using fuels like dried horse manure and pine needles. During
the potters conversation, Esther Cajero, of Jemez Pueblo, pointed out that outdoor firing
doesnt always work. She makes storytellers, and fine details, like fingers, often crack or
break during outdoor firing. In Cajeros case, using a kiln makes more sense when firing
fragile, intricate pieces with delicate features. Cajero also stressed that transparency and
honesty about firing methods is crucial; if a piece isnt traditionally fired, its up to the artist
to say so or for SWAIAto evaluate the piece if its entered into market.
Clarence Cruz of Ohkay Owingeh suggested that SWAIAcould help organize a weeklong
workshop for aspiring potters. Most potters in attendance expressed a willingness to pass
on their skills. Early speculated after the talks that potters may have started guarding their
techniques and clay sources during Pueblo potterys peak in the mid-20th century, when
competition among potters was intense.
At 21, Jamelyn Ebelacker was one of the youngest potters at the gathering. Ebelacker
is a student at IAIA, a granddaughter of Virginia Ebelacker and a great-granddaughter of
Margaret Tafoya, both seminal potters of the 20th century. Ebelacker grewup in Alaska
and only recently returned full time to NewMexico.
Ebelacker studies graphic design and filmat IAIA. IAIAtends to favor more modern
stuff; contemporary pieces often win in shows, she said. Many of her classmates dont
knowhowto make traditional pottery or are uninterested in it. If my father hadnt been
interested in [traditional] pottery, I wouldnt have learned [howto do it] any other way,
said Ebelacker. I wouldnt have known where to go to gather clay and ash or what to do
with it. She shrugged. Sometimes people want to see something new. To survive as a
potter, I have to evolve in what Imdoing.
We need the tools and motivation to bring these traditions to young people,
Ebelacker said when she addressed the group. At IAIA, were given the choice between
studio art and newmedia. Ill never forget pottery or where I come from, but we need a
programwhere we could blend pottery and newmedia. Ebelackers suggestions were
broad, but she advocated that SWAIAmight help to bridge the gap between where kids
are nowand our traditions.
Making a life as a full-time potter isnt an easy path. The decline [of interest] is on both
sides of the equation the collectors side and the potters side, Bernstein noted. Theyre
symbiotic at this point. And the potters are under extraordinary financial pressure. They
cant fall back on farming as people once did; theyre potters full time. They dont often
have other occupations, so if those collectors go away, or the marketplace goes away, there
arent a whole lot of reasons to make pottery.
Financial constraints are certainly valid and should be considered when contemplating
a career as an artist in any field. But for many of the older potters, pottery is simply a way
of life. After the June gathering, Dolores Lewis of Acoma had this to say: Our method is
time-consuming and takes patience. You have to like it. I still make pots, even though the
economys slow. I dont want to give it up, because pottery is what keeps me going.

Wanda aragon
For Jody NaraNJo, family is
everything her natural family of
illustrious Santa Clara Pueblo potters and
her adopted family of extraordinary fellow
artists. To become a member of Naranjos
extended family is both a privilege and a
responsibility.
I come froma line of very strong, determined women,
starting with my grandmother rose Naranjo, who was
a potter, Jody Naranjo said. There are 30 potters in
my family, yet there is no competition. our different
personalities come out in our work. Were all so different,
we cant be competitive.
other Naranjo family members who have become
award-winning potters include her mother, dolly
Naranjo; aunts Jody Folwell and Edna romero; and
cousins Susan Folwell, Polly rose Folwell, dusty Naranjo
and Forrest Naranjo. She is a niece of sculptors Michael
Naranjo and Nora Naranjo-Morse and a cousin of
sculptor roxanne Swentzell.
Education is a priority in the Naranjo family. Besides
her mother, who has been a teacher, principal and
educational consultant, other relatives have made
significant contributions in various fields. They include
her aunts dr. rina Swentzell (american Studies, focusing
on the philosophical and cultural basis of the Pueblo world and its educational, artistic
and architectural expressions) and dr. Tessie Naranjo (Sociology, co-director of the
Northern Pueblos Institute at Northern NewMexico College in Espaola) and her uncle
Professor Tito Naranjo (Education and Social Work, nowprofessor emeritus at New
Mexico Highlands University).
My mother wanted me to go into education, as she had, but when she realized I was
going to be a potter, she gave me her polishing stone and an X-acto knife [for carving],
both of which I still use, she noted.
Naranjo began creating and selling her pottery as a 5-year-old at Indian Market in
august (sharing her mothers booth) and under the portal of the Palace of the Governors
in Santa Fe throughout the year. She said she was surprised when her pottery won
awards the first year she entered the adult Indian Market competition at age 18. Naranjo
has considered herself a full-time potter since she was 15. In the past 28 years, she has
become a premier contemporary pottery artist.
yet the slim, attractive artist doesnt take herself too
seriously. I like to have fun, bothinmy life andwithmy
work, she said. Infact, Imstarting to slowdowna bit.
Insteadof working 12hours a day, sevendays a week, Ill
cut back to maybe six to eight hours five days a week. Ive
paidmy dues andworkedhard. Inthe past, I pushedso
hardthat ImafraidI misseda lot, especially withmy kids.
Naranjo has three daughters all named for stones
Jade, 22; Coral, 16; and Jett, 9. They are all potters
in their own right, and all have sold pottery at Indian
Market, sharing their mothers booth as she did when
she was a child.
I truly believe that my art has made me a better person
and therefore a better parent, Naranjo said. I work my
problems out through my art; its my therapy. If ImoK,
everybodys oK. My collectors realize that my pottery
reveals my life. I put everything into it.
For instance, the pot I donated to [the Southwestern
association for Indian arts] last year for the Gala
auction, Finding Yourself, epitomized my philosophy.
This year I had a wonderful time creating a piece
called Thinking Outside the Box, which included three
ceramic animals a chicken-like bird, fish and deer
surrounding a boxlike pot. [The piece] means trying new
things, pushing the limits. you take your own road and
even play a little.
Thinking Outside the Box encourages me and
everyone who looks at it to consider what lies beyond the day-to-day grind of living,
Naranjo noted. The pot/box itself is traditional in that she dug the clay used to create
it. The animals are made of commercial clay and painted with acrylics to match the
figures on the pot. The pot was fired in the traditional way, while the more fragile
animals were kiln-fired.
How does sHe do it?
Emphasizing the fact that Pueblo pottery is a family affair, Naranjo gave this rundown of
the process of creating stunning pottery, starting with the annual family dig in april at
Santa Clara Pueblo:
We collect clay fromthree different areas of the pueblo, spending an afternoon in
each area collecting that specific kind of clay. The collection for a years worth of clay
takes a total of three days and, once complete, the clay is stored for six months to a year

until it becomes moldy. This process
makes the clay more elastic and easier
to work with. When the clay is ready, I
use the traditional coil method to shape
the pot, adding ash as a hardener to the
clay base. [The ash works just as pottery
shards would.]
Sometimes I have specific shapes for
pots in mind, having sketched themlong
before the actual shaping. Some ideas
come fromdreams. Other times, Ill make
shapes for general purposes, and they [the
pots] will tell me howto proceed.
The pot must dry, and when thats
completed I sand it with coarse, medium,
fine and extra-fine sandpaper. With the
sanding completed, I polish the pot and
later add the slip. After that dries, I paint
the pot and polish it again. Firing prepares
the pot for carving. Carving, in fact, takes
80 percent of my time.
The prepared pots, complete except
for carving, are placed in the firing box at
the pueblo. The fire is already lit under
the box. Naranjo and her mother, Dolly,
cover the box and place stacks of wood
around it to ensure complete firing. Once
thats done and the fire is put out, Jody,
her mother, and her brother Eli whos
also a potter open the box and allowthe
pots to cool. The reckoning happens now,
in that a pot may crack during cooling.
Naranjo and her brother inspect the
pots and determine that this firing is a
complete success. No pots were broken,
and Naranjo will proceed with the carving
at her home studio.
At work At home
Naranjos Albuquerque home, where she
both lives and works, is a reflection of her
artistic experience, with artwork covering
the walls, side tables and floors. She has
paintings by fellowartists and friends
Ryan Lee Smith (Cherokee) and Ryan
Singer (Din/Navajo) and sculptures
by her cousin Roxanne Swentzell.
Besides pieces of her own pottery, there
are exquisite pieces by her mother; by
another cousin, Dusty Naranjo; and by
longtime friends Autumn Borts-Medlock
(Santa Clara Pueblo), Glendora Fragua
(Jemez Pueblo) and Kathleen Wall
(Jemez Pueblo).
We dont buy each others artwork,
Naranjo noted. We trade pieces of our
own for work by other artists whomwe
admire both as people and artists. She
added that she has acquired jewelry from
Cody Sanderson (Din), a fellownight
person with whomshe often talks by
phone in the middle of the night, and
clothing fromPenny Singer (Din), a
longtime friend and a favorite designer.
Getting down to the business at hand
(and, yes, it is a business, as Naranjo
readily acknowledges, that puts food on
the table and pays the mortgage), she
proceeds to her small workroom. Its here
that she creates award-winning pots
frompiles of clay, using a hand-propelled
lazy Susan to build the pots fromhand-
prepared coils. All her work, except
carving, takes place in this room.
I can keep the mess behind closed
doors, she chuckled. Once the pot is
ready for carving after shaping, drying,
sanding, polishing, adding the slip, drying
again, painting, more polishing and finally
firing she moves down the hall into her
den. This roomhas a comfortable sofa and
chairs, plus a big-screen television that is
always on while she carves. Reality shows
are among her favorites.
on the roAd
Naranjo works year-round. She appears at
shows fromMarch through December and
does five or six commissions a year. Her
website, www.jodynaranjo.com, lists nine
shows, starting with the Heard Museums
Indian Fair and Market in Phoenix in
March. Each May on Memorial Day
weekend she does the Native Treasures
Indian Arts Festival in Santa Fe.
Then, less than a month later, shes off
to Indianapolis for the Eiteljorg Museum
of American Indians and Western Art and
its Indian Market &Festival, followed in
August by Indian Market and, running
concurrently, a showat Blue Rain Gallery
these last two in Santa Fe. September
brings the annual showat Lovetts Gallery
in Tulsa. November takes her to the
Southwest Museumof the American
Indian, part of the Autry National Center,
in Los Angeles.
Two shows round out the year in
December at the SmithsonianInstitutions
Museumof the American Indian in
NewYork City and Native American
Collections Gallery in Denver.
These shows are time for myself,
to get together with other artists and
collectors, Naranjo said. The work is
done, for the moment, and we just have
a good time. Plus, I love the locations of
most of the shows.
I do need to slowdown, however. I cant
produce as I used to, and I want to have a
life outside of art. So I probably will cut
down on the number of pieces and maybe
concentrate on fewer, larger pieces. I used
to be like a machine, a robot. My pots
were created almost as on an assembly
line: All were shaped within a week, all
were sanded the next week, polished the
following week and so on. NowI work on
each pot individually.
Still, I never let anybody down. Im
consistent, and Ive established good,
satisfying relationships with the various
gallery owners and folks who run the
shows. They were there for me when I was
starting out. I want to be there for them.
Indian Market leads the pack for her
because its such a big show... and its so
much fun to get together with everyone
throughout the Indian art world. I usually
sell out by 10 a.m. the first day, so I can
spend the rest of the market visiting and
partying with people.
She said she also supports Native
Treasures because it benefits the
Museumof Indian Arts &Culture, which
in turn supports us. Surprisingly, she
said the most fun show is the Eiteljorg
in what Hoosiers call Naptown. Naranjo
declined to discuss exactly what makes
this showfun, but a local blues bar,
the Slippery Noodle, and great shoe-
shopping opportunities with friends were
mentioned.
Fun on the home Front
Naranjo also enjoys a variety of fun,
even whimsical, things at home. For
instance, she has a number of animals,
including a dog (a Yorkie named Carter),
two ducks (Daisy and Donald), a rabbit
(called Bunny), a wild squirrel (Nadine),
that visits regularly, and a hawk that
is nameless but loves to come scare
my animals, which have free rein in
her enclosed backyard, with its small
protected pen and back porch.
Naranjo pictured here on her red
sidecar in 1995 expresses her thrill-
seeking side through two motorcycles
1950 and 1964 Harley-Davidsons. Ive
loved motorcycles since I was a teenager
and have owned at least one since then,
she said.
Naranjo said theres a newman in her
life. Actually, hes an old boyfriend from
Espaola Valley High School, with whom
she reconnected last year when both
were single. Chris Appleby is a contractor
in Santa Fe and has a daughter close to
Corals age.
[Chris] likes me for who I am, and I
like himthe way he is, Naranjo said.
We accept each other as we are.
Thats the way it has to be for me
for both of us.
on the horizon
Aparticularly exciting opportunity
occurred this spring. SWAIA
executive director Bruce Bernstein
asked Naranjo to collaborate with
noted jewelry designer Carolyn Pollack
on a special pendant to be presented to
all Indian Market potters this year in
recognition of their contributions to the
market and the American art world.
Pollack created a sterling silver pendant
featuring Naranjos pottery designs on
both sides. The initial distribution to
approximately 80 potters took place June
2 at SWAIAs Lifetime Achievement Allan
Houser Legacy Award ceremony.
The award and pendant were
outgrowths of the organizations
creation of the Potters Education Fund,
which led to the Potters Educational
Fund Fellowship program. Both
were established to generate ongoing
conversations within the community of
potters, as well as among collectors and
the general public, focusing on quality,
authenticity and endangered materials.
The values rooted in pottery making
are fromdeep inside communities, from
the same center where religious ideas
the very understandings of who people
are and howthey came to
be are located, Bernstein said. This
award acknowledges, with appreciation,
these values.
When asked whether she would like
to create more jewelry, thus adding yet
another dimension to her art, Naranjo
enthusiastically responded that she hoped
to continue collaboration with Pollack and
her company, Relios of Albuquerque.
[Its] pretty cool ... to make pottery
designs into wearable art, and Id like to
do more of it in collaboration, she said.
I was honored and blessed to have this
opportunity.
Ive taken a long look at myself over
the years and asked myself, Who amI?
What amI?
I ama potter. Its what I do. Its not who
I am, although I do put a lot of myself into
creating a pot and its design. What I amis
a mother, daughter, sister, friend, artist. I
knowwho I am. I like who I am.

When you make a living as an artist, where the
marketplace often rewards consistency and balks at
major shifts in style, what does it mean to explore new
mediums, especially if its done in midcareer?
For Virgil Ortiz, Kathy Whitman-Elk Woman and
Shonto Begay, three Indian Market exhibitors who
collectively have more than 70 years of experience as
professional artists, taking risks and changing trajectories
is just another day at the office.
Conduit for the creator
Ortiz, an utterly hip but just as humble 40-something
who comes fromone of Cochit Pueblos pottery families,
first drewattention in the art world for helping to revive
the pueblos monos figures. The monos came about in the
1800s and represented the Cochit potters reaction to
the influx of non-Native visitors to the pueblo. Made from
clay, they mimicked the very people who loved to buy
them, mocking everyone fromtraveling circus performers
to tourists.
While Ortiz used the monos like his ancestors did as
a mirror of the people and trends around himhe went
a step further to make the tradition his own, offering
figures that were infused with a provocative, goth and
often androgynous sensibility. Collectors and critics
quickly took note.
Even though this success in the art world was
rewarding, Ortiz who admits he bores easily added
sewing machines and scissors to his repertoire, adapting
his ideas to fashion. His bold garments quickly became
the hot ticket for Native art collectors and NewYork
fashion designers alike. Afateful meeting in 2002
solidified his designer status when NewYork fashion
mogul Donna Karan noticed his work at the Santa Fe
Indian Market. She asked himto collaborate, and soon
DKNYdresses and skirts with highly stylized designs
including spinach, water, clouds and more were seen on
the runway.
Each time Ortiz appears to master a medium(like
pottery or fashion), he leaps headfirst into a newone (like
jewelry or interior design). Hes even created short films
that tie into the rest of his work. The more I think outside
of the box, he said, the more mediums I pick up.
Sometimes, the experimentationis out of necessity. Ive
done photography inthe past andput it away but started
back upwhenI neededa photographer for immediate

he said. NowI do everything fromselecting models to

I work with are coming full circle nowand help me to
tell the story of the revolt through my eyes, Ortiz said.
Working in mediums other than clay helps reach and
educate a wider audience. They all inspire and feed one
another. Whichever mediumis in my thought, I give it
everything Ive got.
Recent projects include participating in the Fondation
Cartiers Paris, France, showHistories de Voir Show
and Tell; finishing his 2012 Colorblind line of T-shirts
(launching in the fall); designing 20 patterns for a leading,
worldwide carpet manufacturer; and prepping for his
Venutian Soldiers pottery show, opening Thursday,
August 16, at Zane Bennett Gallery in Santa Fe.
While Ortizs work might nowbe more ambitious,
his goals are the same as when he started. I realized
I was put here to tell the story of the Pueblo Revolt, to
educate the world about this revolution and to keep the
art of Cochit pottery alive, he said. By using all of the
mediums I dabble in as inspiration, I can continue to tell
a very important part of Pueblo history. I dont change my
artistic integrity for anyone. I really feel I amnot an artist
but a conduit for the creator.
Recycling: An ancient tradition
Ask Kathy Whitman-Elk Woman what accounts for her
long-termsuccess as an artist and shell tell you it is being
brave enough to followher heart and spirit at the risk of
all possible ridicule. One of the fewfemale stone sculptors
in the Native American art world, this passionate,
energetic artist who first attended Indian Market 25 years
ago has taken a gutsy step in deciding to make almost all
of her newwork fromrecycled materials.
After discovering whats behind Whitman-Elk
Womans motivation, however, her move to make more
recycled work, or eco-conscious art, makes perfect
sense. While Whitman-Elk Woman became interested in
recycled materials as a mediumabout eight years ago, the
idea is actually not that revolutionary in her tribe the
Mandan-Hidatsa-Arikara Nation.
We used every part of the buffalo when we depended
upon it for sustenance, Whitman-Elk Woman remarked.
There was no waste. This idea is ancient throughout the
world and, for me, has a bigger purpose. I felt the need to
be more proactive in taking care of the environment. I
wanted to be the difference. I started saving aluminum
cans and plastic bottles because they are [among] the
major pollutants to our Mother Earth. Initially, I didnt
knowhowor what I was going to create.
But with the love of nature as her guide, Whitman-Elk
Woman first birthed a colorful, somewhat whimsical line
of jewelry created fromthe aluminumcans so many of
us drink fromeach day. At first, it seemed people were
taken aback and couldnt understand the idea and the
purpose, she said. Some people would laugh at the idea

and think it was crazy.
While she still creates the line of jewelry, it didnt make the impact she expected, so
she began crafting larger, realistic sculptures as well. The sculptures are proof that
this work can be done, Whitman-Elk Woman said. And in the past couple of years, the
public reaction seems to have collectively changed.
Her honors and commissions provide proof.
In 2011 Whitman-Elk Woman won a first-place ribbon at the Santa Fe Indian Market
for a horse sculpture made completely out of soda cans. Shortly thereafter, at the Autry
Museums American Indian Arts Marketplace, she took Best of Sculpture for a 6-foot
sculpture of a Native woman, also crafted fromdiscarded cans. Earlier this year, she
served as the artist in residence for the Yocha DeHe School on the Rumsey Rancheria,
where she and the students created an eco-friendly horse to complement the off-grid,
self-sustaining buildings. What makes me so excited about all of this, she said, is that
it shows the public is broadening their thinking and understands that art is limitless
and that creating fromrecycled materials is not only acceptable but also promotes
sustainability.
Whitman-Elk Woman has never been one to let the critical art world define her,
though.
There was a time in my life when I tried to satisfy that world, she observed, but
life happens and change is inevitable thank goodness! I feel as an artist it is my
responsibility to create art that inspires and raises the consciousness, so that we will
be more thoughtful in howwe live with the sacred Mother Earth and with one another.
This was my intention through my art when I started, and that is still my intention. That
will never change; only the way I create my art may change, and the ways are endless.
Art as a change agent
Din artist Shonto Begays paintings and illustrations have been collected around the
world. They are a reflection of his truth, a vignette of the people and landscapes of
his world. FromNavajo friends traveling in the back of a pickup to the trash among
the brush near Chinle, his subject matter sometimes pushes the comfort level of his
audience without losing their interest completely.
Thoughtful by nature, Begay said he has found long-termsuccess as a painter because
its either that or going mad. On a more tangible level, he acknowledges that hard work,
visiting every art museumin every city hes ever been in and being respectful of Navajo
teachings have been crucial to his career path. Imalso excited about sharing my ideas
and believe as an artist you should be an ambassador for your own vision, Begay said.
That vision, as well as his desire to keep experimenting, led himthis year to apply
for (and receive) a Southwestern Association of Indian Arts Residency Fellowship for
creative writing. While the fellowship might strike the public as a creative departure for
him, Begay has been writing for decades.
An experience in Berkeley in the 1970s lit the spark. I was having powerful,
disturbing dreams, he said. Since I didnt have access to a medicine man, who I
normally would have summoned to help with this, I thought I would try to help myself. I
started writing my dreams down using a creative style because I didnt want themto be
interpreted in a totally narrative or dry, linear way. When I would reread them, Id say,
Wow! Did I do this? and it was sort of an aha moment, as up until that time I hadn't
thought of myself as a writer.
Those in Flagstaff, Arizona, have no doubts about Begays literary talents; he writes
a regular column called Letters fromHome for Flagstaff Live. In it he comments
on everything fromenvironmental concerns to the desecration of American Indian
ceremonies by non-Natives. My column is a place where, similar to my painting, I can
write about everything the way I see it, through my set of eyes, he said.
For Begay, part of what compels himto keep painting is also what keeps himwriting
the dialogue with the audience. He acknowledges his work highlights a certain
amount of heavy subject matter, balancing the harsh realities of the reservation with
the richness of its people and land, but he believes that a collective healing occurs
when someone sees my work and can find beauty in the middle of whatever pain or
mystery I might be communicating.
I tendto paint the way I write my words externalizing painandeducating the public
about our issues, but always instilling inmy work nothing but the truth, the truthof what I
grewupwithandwhat I see now. I believe that painting andwriting are very closely related
andthat artists who canchannel bothof these enthusiastically cant lose.
Whats most important, Begay noted, is sharing the perception of his world fromhis
heart. In my work I get to say, Hey, we are here as Native people and here is what we see
and breathe to educate others. Whether painting or writing, I believe my work acts as a
change agent. Art, no matter the medium, can save lives.

Under grand skies and infnite stars
a
nocona burgess
By Kay LocKridge
An artist finds inspiration in many places and forms. When
Comanche painter Nocona Burgess looked with fresh eyes along
a road he had traveled many times, the result was a newseries of
paintings he calls Quahada Lands.
Quahada is a Comanche word meaning antelope, Burgess
explained. Our band of Comanches and the land we inhabited
were called Quahada, which was part of the Comancheria where
the antelope were. It includes eastern NewMexico, west Texas and
western Oklahoma, the latter being my birthplace.
Since moving to Cochit Lake in1989, I've driventhat route
Santa Fe to Lawton, Oklahoma, headquarters of the Comanche
Nationwhat feels like a milliontimes. Infact, its a natural trail for
Comanches; our homelandbegins inthe sacredWichita Mountains
of southwesternOklahoma andcontinues west to Tucumcari and
Santa Fe.
He began noticing that once-thriving towns along the route
such as Memphis, Shamrock and Claude, Texas; Hollis and Duke,
Oklahoma; and Cuervo, NewMexico were trickling away, as
Newfinds on old roads
mixed
media
collage
were the homes and farms that surrounded them.
Recently, he began stopping at some of those deserted
homes; those that were accessible he would enter,
discovering objects such as doorknobs, candles and
other ephemera the former residents had left behind.
When sponsors of the annual Native Treasures show
asked artists to create treasure boxes for a special
sale to raise funds for the Museumof Indian Arts
&Culture this year, Burgess constructed two boxes
depicting the story of his great-great-grandfather
Quanah Parker. Son of a white mother and Comanche
father, Parker lived in two worlds as an emissary to the
white government and chief of his tribe.
The two boxes look and open like books, each with
a latch. The portrait on the cover of one box depicts
Parker in American clothes of the time, with a suit,
high-collared shirt, tie and bowler atop his head;
the portrait on the other box shows Parker in his
Comanche chief attire, with feathered headdress and
chiefs robe.
Inside each box are small items old photos, show
fliers, pins, figures, feathers, candles and maps that
Burgess found in those deserted properties along the
road and on Indian land. The items in the two boxes
represent to himthe real worlds of the Indian and
white man before the turn of the last century.
These boxes kind of kicked it in for me, Burgess
said. Ive wanted to record what was happening to the
land for a long time, but I didnt knowhowto approach
it. NowImdoing a series of paintings with such
found objects attached to them.
The paintings appear on boxes, like the treasure
boxes, with the objects inside or on panel board with
[the objects] attached like mixed-media collages, the
artist added. Imusing old wood also found in these
buildings. These newpieces will be stories of old
houses: who lived there, what happened to them.
All my work tells a story; thats important to me.
Burgess will have a number of his traditional
paintings of strong Comanche men and women,
warriors and chiefs at Indian Market, as well as four
to six pieces fromthe newQuahada Lands series.
The artist will give a lecture on Comanche history at
8:30 p.m. Thursday, August 16, at Legends Santa Fe
(125 Lincoln Ave.), where an exhibit of his work,
Numo Soko Comanche Land, Comanche Stories,
opens August 17 and continues through September 17.

By Diana Del Mauro
Given his ambling ways and the twang of his Oklahoma
accent, Ryan Lee Smith could easily pass as just another
hillbilly fromthe backwoods which was indeed an
authentic part of his upbringing. So when he began art
school at the University of NewOrleans, he kept his
Cherokee heritage a secret.
I wanted to go in undercover and see what I could pull
off, he said.
After Smith established himself at the master of fine
arts program, however, he revealed his identity and
accepted the much-needed minority scholarship money.
Then he kept on doing his thing.
Truth is, Smith didnt have a strong Native identity
then. He didnt growup with his Cherokee father. He was
raised on the neighboring Creek Nation by his mother and
grandmother, an artistic woman who taught the young
boy howto draw. He had a variety of friends and didnt
dwell on culture much. Catfishing, cars, art and football
were his passions.
In college, spontaneity and the simple joy of creating
art drove himto paint. He resisted any pressure to explain
his work; he liked being an artist out of control.
He maintained that foot-loose and fancy-free approach
until he entered a competition held by the University of
NewMexicos Tamarind Institute, which lamented that
Indian artists have been largely ignored by the power
brokers of the art world. The Institute selected Smiths
work for a five-year traveling exhibition, Migrations: New
Directions in Native American Art, debuting in 2007.
Back then, drawing a connection between his art and
his Native heritage felt like a stretch. Since those days,
Smith has clarified his artist statement, allowing himto
progress froman outsider in Native art to a trendsetter
among fellowpainters who are pushing the boundaries at
Santa Fe Indian Market.
He credits his growth to a detour that led himback to
the Cherokee Nation, where he lives today with his wife
and two sons, who attend tribal schools conducted solely
in the Cherokee language.
In 2005, as he neared the completion of his masters
in New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina turned the
graduate student into a self-employed contractor
specializing in renovations and remodels. Smith
has yet to complete that degree. After two years of
restoration work in New Orleans, his wife suggested
they settle in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, his birthplace and
the heart of the Cherokee Nation.
Smith felt like an outsider when he first stepped on the
reservation. Gradually, he gained the communitys trust
and, side-by-side with tribal members, he organized a
volunteer construction crewthat built a nutrition center
for the elderly. In the process, Smith connected with his
heritage. Recently, he became a cultural specialist at the
newCherokee Arts Center, a small-business incubator
for artists, where he paints, teaches classes and repairs
80-year-old floor looms.
I have found the true respect for my people that
I and my [art] work have been missing, he told
the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts in his
fellowship proposal.
When Smith won the SWAIAresidency fellowship
award in 2011, he had been living on the Cherokee Nation
for four years, spending little time on art. In Santa Fe,
as he seized the giant studio that would be his for more
than 20 days, a raven appeared and inspired a painting he
carried to his first Santa Fe Indian Market.
Anartist unbound
Abstract painter Ryan Lee Smith is defining his identity and his work on his own terms
When ones identity is so
thoroughly prescribed and
overdetermined, it seems
plausible that one might carve
out a space in ones art simply to
be. This, I suggest, is what Ryan
Lee Smith is doing. By his own
admission, subject matter is
unimportant. His art is neither
representational nor symbolic.
It carries none of the familiar
markers of Native American
art. It represents nothing more
nor less than itself.

Days before Santa Fe Indian Market began last summer,
Smith spotted fellowCherokee Wes Studi and rushed to
introduce himself and share news about the folks back
home with the actor.
Studi, who lives in Santa Fe and was on the way to the
bar with friends, didnt seementhusiastic about Smiths
approach, but the painter offered to buy hima drink and
tagged along with the group. Once the stories and beer
started flowing, laughter replaced awkwardness. Studi
caught sight of Smiths newshoes a pair of Donald
Pliner beaded Italian slippers purchased at Goler Fine
Imported Shoes on East Palace Avenue that very day.
Usually a black Crocs kind of guy, Smith had decided
to buy something out of character after seeing an
advertisement featuring his favorite Indian Market
artists sporting similar footwear.
Soon Smiths newHollywood friends passed his shoe
around, as if it were Cinderellas glass slipper. Cradling
the shoe against his ear, Native filmmaker Chris Eyre
pretended it was a telephone.
Smith was riding high after that night. But once Indian
Market began, even his Goler shoes couldnt sustain his
confidence. He hadnt won any ribbons. He called out
to market-goers across the sidewalk to lure themto his
booth. His paintings of jackrabbits, eagles and ravens
sold first. Selling only eight paintings, he wondered if
the market was the right place for his abstract works. He
figured he had to pay his dues as a little-known artist.
It kind of woke me up as to what people are buying,
Smith said.
He returnedto Santa Fe for SWAIAs Winter Market,
where, as part of his fellowshiprequirement, he painted
live, inhis sloppy everyday clothes. He didnt sell enough
work to break even, againchalking it upto paying his dues.
aribbonfor Angelfish
This March, at the Heard MuseumGuild Indian Fair
and Market in Phoenix, Arizona, at age 39, Smith tasted
success with his first notable prize for art. In a juried
competition, he won the 12th Conrad House Award
presented by a unanimous 24-judge vote to the piece in
any mediumthat exemplifies innovation and the late
artists vision for Angelfish. According to guild member
Janet Hoffman, Angelfish was the first painting to receive
the award.
Collectors lined up at his booth the next day. He sold
out of everything but two drawings.
Angelfish began as a four-foot demonstration painting
at a Tahlequah community art festival. It was almost cute:
a bear, standing in a fire, holding a salmon over his head.
I decided that I had to turn this thing into a prizewinner.
Smith said. Fifteen layers of paint later, including wide
swaths of black oil paint, all that remained was an
explosion of shapes and colors. Smith articulated nothing
absolutely; the imagery stayed on the level of suggestion.
There could be an angelfish there but then again, there
could be a squirrel.
I keep it just under the water, he explained. Just
enough to let the viewer take it further, take it on over
that line.
Guild members Judith and Robert Rothschild bought
Angelfish for a fewthousand dollars. It was the most
dramatic painting in the room, said Judith, a retired
educator with a masters degree in art.
Active patrons of the arts, the Rothschilds have
attended the Heard Fair for more than 15 years and Santa
Fe Indian Market many times. This is the first thing
weve bought froma Native American artist that is totally
abstract, Judith Rothschild said, referring to Smiths
painting. I think hes a real talent coming up. And a very
nice guy, too.
upsetting
preconceivednotions
Contemporary artists who sell their work at Indian
markets are still breaking through the stereotypes,
but Smith is optimistic. There is a definite change
happening in Indian art, he said. They tell me right now
is the time to do something different. People are dying for
something different.
Paintings of bears and other animals have been his
bread-and-butter pieces work that the average person
can grasp. Although hes painted abstracts since graduate
school, he rarely showed these paintings because they
might be harder for the audience to appreciate. Thats
why getting recognition at the Indian markets has been a
breakthrough a coming out of sorts.
I think its time for us to compete with the art world
itself, and not just this little niche of Native art, so Imjust
pushing it and pushing it, Smith said.
Since the Santa Fe market began in 1922, studio-style
painting the kind Dorothy Dunn of the Santa Fe Indian
School promoted has been a category. Contemporary
style became a newcategory of painting at Indian Market
in 1981, when Harry Fonseca and his suave coyotes broke
it open, SWAIAdeputy director John Torres-Nez said.
However, the marketplace has been slowto change.
Patrons still expect to see paintings of buffalos and
tipis, Torres-Nez said. The same people who buy art at
Indian Market might go to Canyon Road galleries to buy
a contemporary painting, but they dont expect to do that
at Indian Market. Alot of it has to do with educating the
public, he said.
In that vein, the Santa Fe Indian Market website
challenges patrons to think outside the box: Unlike
grade-school textbooks, museums or Hollywood movies,
Indian Market is centered on Native self-representation.
It is here that your perceptions and preconceived notions
about Native people and culture will be changed forever.
Native artists whose work is abstract have shied away
fromthe market, said Torres-Nez, who also teaches at
the Institute of American Indian Arts, a 4-year degree
programfocused on contemporary art forms. These
artists have gone straight to the gallery scene and non-
Native art shows, he said, because they felt there was no
home for themat Native shows.
Only nowis that starting to change just barely, he
noted.
In 2006, Sheldon Harvey shook things up when he
literally just burst on the scene at Santa Fe Indian
Market, Torres-Nez said. Two years later, the self-taught
contemporary painter and sculptor fromthe Navajo
Nation won Best of Showin both mediums. Galleries took
notice. Today, people like Sheldon and Ryan and a couple
others are in Native shows, when you wouldnt see them
there before, Torres-Nez said.
Torres-Nez also pointed out a surprising newtrend:
Last year, for the first time at the Santa Fe show, the
number of painters surpassed potters.
All of this could bode well for Smith.
As Smith returns to Santa Fe this August for his second
Indian Market, he has a sense of validation he didnt have
before brought on fromthe support of other artists he
met over the past year, including Sheldon Harvey, and
frompatrons who snatched up his abstract works this
spring. Native markets have given Smith a platformhe
wasnt achieving on his own, and he likes the scene so
well hes likely to be a fixture in the Santa Fe and Phoenix
markets for decades to come.
SWAIAhas set the stage for me, Smith said. Theyve
given me every tool I need to make it where I want to go,
and Imdoing it.
His ambition, to earn a place in prestigious galleries
that dont give a hoot about a Certificate of Degree of
Indian Blood, hasnt changed since art school.
Ultimately, I want to be in NewYork City and be
recognized for my art and not have to explain or rely on
[my Native American identity] to sell my work, he said. I
really want my work to speak for itself.

Indian Market is always a homecoming, said Waddie
CrazyHorse of Cochit Pueblo, who enjoys reconnecting
with friends who have known me since I was at market
in diapers. CrazyHorse is one of many children of Indian
Market artists who grewup around the festival and carry
memories and lessons forward.
I am very fortunate having Cippy CrazyHorse as
my father, he said. I recall the booth always packed
two or three deep. I learned to provide basic customer
service and how to be cordial and mature around
adults and developed my social skills as well as basic
business skills [in my fathers booth]. Its safe to say
that Indian Market helped me become the extroverted
networker that I am today.
CrazyHorse was admitted to Stanford University in
2006 with a Gates MillenniumScholarship. I was very
proud of this, he said, so I made a fewStanford S pins
to wear at school. Stanford fans took notice and those
started selling at football games. After graduating in June
2011, I founded Collegiate Silver, which became officially
licensed by Stanford in February 2012 to produce their
trademarks. He is also working with several other
universities to become certified to produce their logos
and expand his business.
CrazyHorse nowoperates a workshop in San Carlos,
California, and uses both traditional hand-wrought and
modern lost-wax casting methods to produce both the
Stanford jewelry and his own designs. I aminspired
to perpetuate the old-timer techniques that have been
passed down frommy Grandpa Joe [Quintana] to my
father, he said. Its a wonderful artistic legacy to be
blessed with. I fully embrace the clean, classic approach
to jewelry design that my family is known for, and I try to
keep things fresh and interesting with various stones and
my use of negative space.
I look forward to working alongside my dad once again
when I come back for Indian Market.
Sibling styles
Paris and Jade Bread also grewup attending Indian
Market, helping their mother, Jackie Bread, a bead artist
fromMontana. They first participated in Indian Market
in 1999.
I was 8 that summer and I entered a large 16-by-
20 drawing of some buffalo and won an award, Paris
said. When he was 12, his Prismacolor drawing of a
Navajo rug won best of classification. I was so excited
and overwhelmed; that experience meant so much to
me. When I was 15, I applied for and won a SWAIA
youth fellowship. I got to go to afternoon tea [with] the
governor of NewMexico and was recognized for my
award. My drawings began to get more detailed and told
stories about myself and my people Blackfeet, Apache
and Navajo. I began doing work in ledger style about five
years ago.
Paris is nowa media arts major at the University of
Montana in Missoula and is learning to design websites.
This is an amazing, all-encompassing medium, he said.
It seems a contradiction that I amso connected to ledger
drawing while I amso connected to a mediumthat is the
ultimate in technology.
Paris younger sister, Jade, will be a sophomore this fall
at Great Falls High. She first showed her work at Indian
Market in 2003. Ever since my first year of showing,
I have won some type of ribbon, she said. My art has
always been ledger-style drawing, just not done on actual
ledger paper. Searching antique stores, we happened to
come upon a ledger book, making my art what it is today.

But my art wouldnt be [what it is] today if it wasnt for
my mother and everything that she has taught me. To see
her build her life around something she loves is simply
amazing. Ive learned so much fromthe great stories my
momand dad have told me over the years. These stories
make my work.
Indian Market is really a special part of our lives,
Paris added. One of the best things is that we get to
see my dads family. They are fromNewMexico, so
reconnecting with themduring this time is cherished.
Potter withpedigree
Cavan Gonzales, a potter fromSan Ildefonso Pueblo,
belongs to a very long line of Indian Market artists. Ive
been going to Indian Market since before I was born,
he joked. His maternal great-great-grandparents, Maria
and Julian Martinez, attended the first Indian Market
and won a blue ribbon for pottery. Today, Gonzales and
his mother, Barbara Gonzales, work together each year
to create a black pottery plate that they donate to SWAIA
to give to the winner of the Povika Award, which honors
Maria Martinez and recognizes service to Indian Market.
When I started out, I ate the clay, Gonzales said.
Around age 4, he started creating little bowls and
figurines, which his mother still has. He nowworks
in three types of pottery: polychrome, which is tan and
predates black pottery; black; and contemporary, which
is red and polished. He gathers his own clay and other
materials. Imalways pushing for perfection, he said.
Gonzales remembers attending Indian Market when
he was young and helping out at La Fonda on judging
night by passing out glasses of water. He also remembers
enjoying Frito pies and snowcones at Woolworths. Now
his wife, April, helps out at his market booth, and his
older children, Charine, 16, and Tyler, 15, showtheir pots;
theyve both won youth ribbons at recent markets. His
youngest child, Andrieta, 3, is next in line.
Traditionof helping
AutumnBorts-Medlock is a fourth-generationIndian
Market artist. She remembers working withclay as a child,
along withher sister Tammy Garcia, her mother, Linda
Cain, andher grandmother Mary Cain. She recalls seeing
the awards that her grandmother wonat IndianMarket
andwalking downthe hallway at her great-grandmother
Christina Naranjos house to peek into the workroom,
where many large pots sat drying.
Grandma Mary was determined to teach pottery to her
grandchildren, and my sister and I really caught on to it,
said Borts-Medlock, who grewup at Santa Clara Pueblo.
It seems that we were meant for it; the creative feeling
just came naturally to us. My momwas also an essential
role model, encouraging us to create our own designs
fromthe world around us but to still honor the designs
that Grandmother taught us. I like to blend the old and the
new, a classic shape with flowers and insects or a modern
shape with Grandmothers avanyu design.
As young teenagers, Borts-Medlock, her sister and
a cousin would help their elders unload supplies and
pottery fromtheir pickup and carry themto the Indian
Market booth. They were then free to look around the
market and enjoy cool drinks and Navajo tacos. They
would check in at the booth and give their mother a
break, then help load everything up at the end of the day.
Today, Borts-Medlocks family helps her set up her own
Indian Market booth, then checks in to give her breaks.
Shes hoping that her 7-year-old daughter Rochelle, a
budding artist, will continue the tradition.

In 1993 Ronald Chee (Din/Navajo) dropped out

to followhis artistic desires. He started with
watercolors, moved on to acrylics, then settled on
monotype mixed media. He creates his prints with
etching ink mixed with linseed oil painted onto a
plexiglass plate; the finished piece is then pulled
through press rollers with printmaking paper, and the
image transfers to the paper to create original prints
that can be enhanced with paint.
My choice of colors is all randomon the subject at
hand, Chee said. I like multiple-colored horses!
Chee did not growup on the Navajo Nation, but he
attends ceremonies and sweats with his father and
relatives and interprets Din traditions in his art.
Art took me back to my roots, Chee said.
Authentic and original art best defines who he is,
the artist said. The themes for his Yeii series include
wildlife, the environment and the circle of life, as well
as Yeii faces or masks. They are the most popular
images he paints. The Yeii subject evolved over
time, Chee said. I introduced the subject of spirit
of the environment as an abstract interpretation
of the environment, showing the different colors
to showthe seasonal changes in the sky, having the
mesa mountains across the midsection and having
trees and plant life belowthe bottomhalf, sometimes
adding a river or lake or many other objects as
elements or spirits of the earth.
Chees work has been exhibited at the Institute of
American Indian Arts in Santa Fe and the Southwest
Museumof the American Indian, nowa part of the
Autry National Center in Los Angeles, and has won
blue ribbons at Indian Market. He also acts when
opportunities arise: He was a spirit guide for Olympia
Dukakis in the CBS filmScattering Dad and the
hitchhiker picked up by Rene Zellwegers character
in My One and Only.

Walter BigBee:
Hankering for
horses
As a child, Walter BigBee (Comanche/Choctaw) lived
in Ethiopia for four years while his father built a rural
agricultural college under the auspices of Oklahoma
State University. He drewupon that experience when
the family moved to metropolitan Washington, D.C.,
during the civil rights and Native American struggles.
I lived in the [family] photo albums, constantly
trying to relive my time in Ethiopia, where everything
was bliss.
BigBee took a photography class in high school and
was drawn to the darkroom, spending every spare
moment there. He went on to study commercial
photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology
and to work as an advertising executive/catalog
photographer in the D.C. area for 14 years.
I discovered horses in Africa, and I always knew
I wanted to have horses in my life, he said. BigBee
eventually moved to NewMexico to reconnect with
his Comanche heritage and horses. The state
especially the Moorish influences brought here by
the Spanish reminded himin many ways of North
Africa. He nowlives in Pojoaque with his wife and
two horses.
BigBee creates black-and-white fine art
photographs that often feature Comanche themes.
Being Comanche, I have an inherent hankering to
work with wild horses and hunt bison, so horses and
bison are frequent subjects, he said. BigBee signs his
photographs with his Comanche name, Tutsi Wai,
which means Always Searching.
He creates montages with multiple photographic
negatives and also employs digital photography.
He has worked on projects with the Smithsonian
Institution and the Institute of American Indian
Arts and teaches and lectures. Its hanging on to
who I am, he said of his photography. I live in my
photographs.

WaylandNamingha
Jr.: Paintedprayers
Wayland Namingha Jr., a Hopi katsina carver, grew
up in the villages of Third Mesa in Arizona and
has been immersed in his culture since he was a
toddler. Katsina dances are important ceremonies
for his people. We are dry farmers, he said, and
the ceremonies we participate in are prayers for all;
... prayers for rain for our crops and all animals; for
long life for mankind, plants and all living beings; for
balance in the world.
Katsi means life in Hopi, the artist said, and
katsinumthe plural of katsina are life bringers.
Namingha makes traditional-style katsina dolls,
8- to 10-inch long figures that depict the ceremonial
katsinumand are traditionally given to infants and
girls. He carves a piece of cottonwood root into a
figure with his pocketknife, then files, sands and
paints it with pigments he gathers fromthe washes
and cliffs around his home near Old Oraibi. He
embellishes his figures with parrot and macaw
feathers which historically have been, and still are,
acquired by trade and cornhusks.
Namingha said he has been around carvers and
carving fromthe time I was in diapers. There is

a photo of me holding a horseshoe file, rasping
away, sitting in sawdust. His father was a
contemporary-style katsina carver, carving whole
figures out of cottonwood and adding details
with a wood burner, acrylic paints and linseed
oil. Namingha Jr. prefers the traditional style:
Simplicity drewme back to that style. ... I fell in
love with the soft, muted colors.
Out of the 300-plus Hopi katsinas, Namingha
favors carving parrots, badgers, bears and other
animals. He also creates the Sun Face, ogres and
the Going Home Dancer, which is featured in the
last of the katsina dances, when the katsinum
return to their spiritual home, the San Francisco
Peaks near Flagstaff.
When I carve, I carve what I see, he said. I
do not add anything. Howthe katsinumpresent
themselves when they come is what I carve.
Naminghas carvings have been honored
with many awards, including first place and an
honorable mention in Traditional Carvings at the
2012 Heard MuseumGuild Fair and Market in
Phoenix, Arizona.

SheldenNuez-
Velarde: Manof
manymuses
Shelden Nuez-Velarde belongs to the Ollero Clan
of the Jicarilla Apache Nation. In keeping with
the pottery-making traditions of his mountain
clan, he began creating traditional hand-coiled
micaceous pottery at the age of 13. At the same
time, he started working with beads, making dolls,
moccasins and pipe bags.
Nuez-Velarde has won first- and second-
place ribbons for beadwork creations at several
previous Indian Market fashion shows. His
cousin Ashley Julian and nephew Emanuel
Vigil will model traditional Jicarilla attire he
has created in the 2012 Indian Market Clothing
Contest on Sunday morning.
Recently, Nuez-Velarde received permission
fromtribal elders to learn traditional Jicarilla
basket weaving, typically the province of women.
My mentor is Rowena Mora, who is a very talented
Jicarilla basket weaver, he said. Fromher
guidance, I have learned basket weaving. I amvery
happy to have learned and added it [to the] Jicarilla
arts [for which] I amknown.
I enjoy going out into the forest by the river
and cutting and preparing my fibers. I enjoy being
beside the river, listening to the river and trees and
birds. I also have to followthe strict code of basket
making. That code forbids weaving when there is
a death in the tribe, and it requires the weaver to
make a trail fromthe center of the basket to the
top of the basket [as] an exit for the spirit to leave.
Nuez-Velarde studied at Parsons School of
Design in New York City and the Academy of Art
University in San Francisco, and heads back to
school at the Institute of American Indian Arts
in Santa Fe next spring. He aims to sustain his
tribes traditions with his art and his work at
the Jicarilla Apache Arts and Crafts Museum.
The tribe plans to establish a new museum, and
Nuez-Velarde will pursue a bachelors degree
in museum studies in hopes of one day directing
his nations heritage center.

IanFender: Pueblo
potterypotential
Ian Fender starts the seventh grade this fall at
Santa Fe Indian School, but the 11-year-old San
Ildefonso Pueblo potter and Indian Market veteran
is having a productive summer preparing to show
his creations at this years Indian Market.
Fender started working with clay at the age of 7
while watching his father, potter Erik Fender. He
goes with his dad to gather clay, then creates small
pots and animal figures in black on black, buff on
red, mica black, mica white, and green on black
pottery.
Inspired by the work of his father and other
Native artists, his favorite designs are dragonflies,
butterflies and the sun face.
After I got an award last year, it kind of got
me more motivated to work on more pots, he
said. Last year was my first time to take pots
[to Indian Market], and I got a third place for
one of my pots that I entered in the Youth for
Pottery, Non-Burnished (matte), either painted or
undecorated category.
The money that I make at market I use to
either buy art supplies or other things that I want,
Fender said. Last year I was able to buy myself a
cell phone. He plans to enter the Youth Market
again this year and help his dad at his booth.

story By Arin McKennA

When Jeremy Frey won Best of Showlast year, he felt
like he had been struck by lightning. The 32-year-old
Frey had won Best of Showat the Heard Museum
Indian Fair &Market in Phoenix, Arizona, earlier in
the year.
I didnt feel it was possible to win Best of Showat both
shows in one year. I was really set to cheer for the artist
who won. I didnt think it would be me, said Frey, an
eighth-generation basket weaver. Ive never felt as if I
could be as successful as Ive been this year. I was just
overwhelmed. I think a lot of my dreams came true this
year, dreams I didnt knowI had.
Frey acknowledged the Maine Indian Basketmakers
Alliance, an organization that helped revive Native
basketry in Maine. If it wasnt for the group Imin,
this wouldnt have happened, whether it was them
motivating me or me trying to represent them, its all
intertwined, its all woven together, Frey said. Frey
learned his art because of the alliance his mother and
teacher, Gal Frey, also learned through themand has
served on the board and taught others in return.
He was 22 when he took up basket weaving, Frey
said. The first month was rough. The pieces wouldnt
stay where I wanted themto, they kept exploding on
me as I was trying to weave, and Id get so mad ... Plus
I was trying to get off of drugs. I would have physical
withdrawal symptoms, a lot of energy and anger. But
after about the first month of weaving, I was hooked. It
was such a medicine for me.
Frey has made his reputation by being an innovator.
When I first started out, I wanted to get known, so Id
introduce a newtechnique at every show. It always got
people to come look at my work, because I was doing
things theyd never seen. Being innovative is what got
me a name in the beginning.
Freys award-winning piece which stands
15 inches tall and has over 1,400 points is also
groundbreaking. Ive been trying to make a large
fancy basket pretty much since I started. All of our
large baskets are utility baskets. Theyre roughly
made, strong baskets that you can carry rocks around
in. Theyre beautiful in their own way, but they arent
made to be these display pieces that we call fancy
baskets, Frey said.
Freys efforts begin with finding a Black Ash tree,
harvesting it and pounding the growth rings to separate
them. People need to knowthat we do not buy our
materials theyre made by hand by the artists, Frey
said. If I was buying my materials, Id get what the
person who prepared it gives me, and some people
dont prepare as well as others. The better you prepare
it, the better your piece will be.
You have to find a healthy tree without knots or
twists that grewat the right rate. If it grewtoo fast, you
cant split it down to the right thickness. If it grewtoo
slow, you cant split it at all, Frey said. There have
been days when Ive driven all over our state and found
nothing. And even once I find a good stand, I still have
to figure out whose land it is, howImgoing to cut, then
Ill look at about a hundred trees before I find one. In a
bad stand, I wont cut any.
The intricacy of Freys Best of Showpiece presented
special challenges. For the uprights, I have to findthick,
straight-grained, wide pieces, anda lot of them, to get
all the way aroundthat basket. I think I sortedthrough
hundreds of pieces just to findthose. Andthentheyre all
individually carvedto take the shape of the basket.
Frey had to sort and shape material for the points as
well. There are thousands of individual pieces inthat
basket. Those points have to be really thin, really high-
quality material. And each piece is shaped deliberately
for where its supposed to be. Frey also grades his wood
by color, choosing the whitest pieces for the points.
Weaving such a large, intricate piece takes
remarkable patience. When you start a piece that big,
everythings sticking out everywhere, and its all curled
together and tangled. When I first start, hours go by
and Ive made practically no progress, he said.
Frey uses molds for the base, then creates the upper
basket freehand so each basket is unique. Molds can
be purchased, but Frey creates his own. If somebodys
whipping out forms to sell to every weaver in my
community, chances are theyre going to be very
similar. So I started making my own molds so that
people wouldnt have the same shapes I have.
Freys baskets are finished inside and out. Im
looking at every conceivable angle, and it has to look
good to me. Its completely finished on the inside.
Like all Black Ash basketweavers, Frey is dreading
the demise of his art due to the Emerald Ash Borer a
beetle that is infesting ash trees. Its going to kill ash
basketry. Period. Its going across the country and its
killing every tree it touches, Frey said. No matter how
good I get, Imnot going to have the material someday.
It makes me really sad, because I amsucceeding at
something now, and its going to be taken away. Its just
another life lesson, I guess, that life throws curve balls
at you and we just adapt and overcome.

Walking through the Santa Fe Indian Market Friday night preview, its difficult to imagine
howthe judges are able to select prizewinners in each classification. Some of the best Native
artists in North America enter their finest works for judging pieces that may have taken
months or even years to create. Judges must evaluate not only the aesthetic quality of each
piece, but howwell it meets SWAIAs strict standards of authenticity.
More than $100,000 of prize money is awarded. But the ultimate value of the competition
is its impact on artists careers, especially for the winners of Best of Classification and the
ultimate award, Best of Show. Such an award fromwhat is arguably the countrys most
prestigious showcase for Native art can have ripple effects for years to come.

Chris pruitt approaches jewelry making in a way that
is heavily influenced by his years as a professional chef.
When I worked for a Japanese chef, everything was
precise, nothing was overpowering, it was just enough to
accent it, Pruitt said.
Pruitts award-winning silver belt buckle reflects that
aesthetic. Acentral inlay of turquoise and coral looks like
an abstract cityscape. Three small diamonds with gold
accents adorn one corner, and three more diamonds are
concealed on the back of the buckle. Pruitt used roller
printing to etch some of the silver, and bead-blasting to
create a satin finish on the rest. I like being simple, clean,
precise, Pruitt said. Both techniques have been around
for a while, but fewpeople use them, he added.
For roller printing, Pruitt creates a pattern on a hard
surface such as brass, which he runs through a roller to
transfer the pattern to his silver. The brass is only good
for a couple of prints, he said, before the design starts
to disport bowin the middle. Pruitt then tapes off
sections he wants to remain shiny and blasts the exposed
surface with beads most jewelers use sand to create
a satin finish.
Pruitts work methods are also influenced by his first
career. When I was working at a Japanese restaurant, it
was just hours and hours of cuts. You had to get the cuts
right before you could even work on anything else, Pruitt
said. So it was tedious work, but it taught you to perfect
that specific style of doing something: getting everything
in its place, getting everything together before you start.
Pruitt works mainly in silver. He uses only natural
stones he does his own lapidary work and accents
his pieces with gold and diamonds. He concentrates on
earrings, buckles, bolos and small bracelets. His peers
advised himto make large bracelets, he said, but Pruitt
trusted his instincts, and always sells out of his small
bracelets first.
Pruitt started making jewelry about six years ago, and
made the decision to commit to it about four years ago.
He has won first-place awards for collaborative pieces
with his brother, Pat Pruitt, but had only received a
second-place award and an honorable mention for his
solo work until now.
Its very honoring to knowthat people are starting to
recognize the younger generation of artists like myself
and Marcus Wall, Pruitt said, and seeing the skills were
developing not necessarily staying with traditional
everything. Kind of thinking outside the box.
Jody naranjo comes froma long line of famous Santa
Clara potters. As she watched family members work,
Naranjo said, she thought, Thats going to be me.
Youre just always in awe of what someone is doing,
Naranjo said. It makes you push yourself harder.
Naranjo pushes creative boundaries. I crossedthe
line probably 20years ago. I got a lot of weirdlooks, and
a lot of hesitationfromcollectors. But I stuck withit, and
its workedfor me. Ive kindof made my ownstyle. Ive
incorporateda very traditional art formanda modernart
form, andpushedpueblo pottery into a little more of today.
Traditional materials determine the character of
Naranjos explorations. Imlimited with what I can
do with traditional pottery. Imnot using anything but
what is passed down in my family, Naranjo said. So
Ive learned to play with what I have, and that becomes
shapes, that becomes polishing certain areas, that
becomes different colors in firing.
Santa Claran pottery is traditionally the natural red
color of the clay, or black fromsmothering pots with
manure to oxidize themduring firing. Naranjos Best
of Classification piece has a chocolate coloration she
achieves by surrounding the pot with manure rather than
smothering it. Naranjo also creates a slight shimmer by
adding a little micaceous clay to her mix.
But Naranjos imagination really soars when she carves
and etches her pots. I have carved anything fromanimals
and landscapes to a city building, Naranjo said. Naranjo
has etched her Pueblo Girls in settings all over the
world, as a rock band and as chamber music musicians.
Pretty much anything you can think of goes on a pot.
And thats what keeps me interested. I just cant imagine
making the same pot over and over again all my life.
Naranjos award-winning piece, Finding Yourself, pushed
evenher ownlimits. Naranjo hadbeenasking, Who amI?
What amI? Where do I fit? andusedclay the way other
people use journaling to answer those questions.
I made that huge traditional pot with every kind of
animal Ive ever put on a pot fromthe water serpent
to my modern birds in a chaotic collage, Naranjo
said. She then used commercial clay, acrylic paints and
kiln firing to create a large, free-standing deer. Naranjo
outlined his shadowon the pot and etched his reflection
on it. Hes looking at himself in this traditional pot, and
he has found himself and has this big smile.
When I was done with it, a real calmcame over
me, and I said, You knowwhat he is? Hes just a deer,
Naranjo said. Why do we have to complicate everything
and label everything and stereotype everything? When
it comes down to it, you are who you are, and it really
doesnt matter because youre just this deer.

Arthur Holmes Jr., Hopi
HEaring tHE wood spEak
dyani reynolds-white hawk wanted to bridge
the chasmdividing her Native college education and
the Western educational approach at the University
of Wisconsin, Madison, with her winning painting,
Seeing. This was a way to really honor all aspects of
my education, of embracing both indigenous education
and Western education. I didnt think it was an honest
representation to go in one direction or the other.
The dichotomy in her education is a reflection of
Reynolds-White Hawks mixed heritage Rosebud Sioux
on her mothers side and German/Welsh on her fathers
side. This is also a way of healing, really honoring
all aspects of my life, all aspects of my influences and
passions.
Seeing was the centerpiece for Reynolds-White Hawks
MFAthesis exhibit, whichrevolvedaroundthose issues.
It was just really a shock anda challenge to go fromeight
years of being immersednot only inthe Native community,
but especially inthe Native academic community, where
conversations andwhats taught has a very different focus
thanwhats taught at a mainstreamuniversity, Reynolds-
White Hawk said. I hadanextremely in-depthperspective
of Native history andNative art history, andwas fairly
lacking inmy knowledge of Westernart history. It was
challenging, because the perspectives are very different.
Anda lot of times its very conflicting.
Reynolds-White Hawk foundcommongroundin
abstraction. Alot of Lakota philosophies andworldviews
are visually displayedthroughabstract motifs, so Western
abstractionwas its counterpart.
The piece that appears to be inspiredby minimalist
abstract Taos painter Agnes Martinis actually anexact
renditionof a Phase I Navajo blanket. It was difficult for
me to justify just straight painting a blanket, but those
weavings are masterpieces, so it fit very well into the
context of what I was discussing, Reynolds-White Hawk
said. I titledit Master Study, really playing onthe idea that
at a major university youdo these master studies, andall
of the masters are Westernartists. I wantedto do a master
study that was takenfroma Native perspective, to talk
about masters beyondthe Westerndefinitionof masters.
Reynolds-White Hawk is also a quill worker and
beadworker, and has experimented with incorporating
both into her painting. She wanted to incorporate quill
work into Seeing, but the size of the piece was prohibitive
so she painted a three-dimensional quill-work pattern
in the corners of the piece instead.
The corner panels forma windowfilled with blue
sky and clouds. This indicates the windowthat we
look through, the fact that we all have our own personal
perspective. Howis it that you see the world? Howdoes
your experience determine what you see? Its the negative
space, but I wanted it to flop back and forth between the
negative and positive space. Its the center for me.
arthur holmes Jr., began making kachinas 19 years ago,
when his first child was born. Holmes and his wife had
just left the city to return to Hopi. It was the only place
my wife would have our daughter, Holmes said. Holmes
began carving to support his family and as part of Hopi
ceremony.
Holmes learned to carve fromhis father, Arthur Holmes
Sr., and his uncle, Stetson Honyumptewa last years
Best of Showwinner.
The early years were difficult. Holmes remembers
walking up and down the streets of Sedona trying to sell
his art. Holmes was also struggling with alcohol and drug
abuse, which separated himfromhis family for four years.
When he got clean, he was determined to live a better life.
As soon as I came home, I started with my carving
career again, and it was my second chance, Holmes said.
He knewothers would think he had lost his skill. But
instead, I got better. I looked at life in a different way, and
my ceremonies and culture differently, and my belief was
a lot stronger. And it just progressed, just one step at a
time going up, up, up. And Imstill learning,
Holmes nowlives with his family in Prescott Valley,
Arizona, but spends much of his time at Hopi in the house
that belonged to his grandmother, caring for his cornfields
and his wifes cattle.
It all starts fromthe spirit inside you, and participating
in ceremony. It all comes together: working in our
cornfields, getting in touch with nature. All things around
us are living things that combine together in the happiness
and harmony in making these dolls, Holmes said. Every
time Imcarving, Imalways constantly praying, not only
for myself and my family, but for all others, all around us.
Holmes does not take special orders. When you
look at a piece of wood, it speaks to you. It takes its own
formation. Maybe I will have a piece of wood at the
cornfields where I stay at, and feel that happiness, that
spirit. And it will just flowright in once you start carving,
and it takes the shape of itself, Holmes said. I say,
whatever comes to you, thats what they want, because
you have that connection with the wood, with all different
elements in life. Thats the way I do my carving speaking
to themand themspeaking to me. When we connect, it
takes its life form.
In the beginning, Holmes said, I was hesitant to
enter these shows because of the teachings of my great-
grandmother. She told me you shouldnt do that. But right
now, in the world we live in, you have to kind of expand.
You work in order to survive. So I look at it as I have to do
this in order support my kids and put a roof over my family
and feed and clothe them.
Holmes reconciles that internal conflict by encouraging
his collectors to discover the spirit within the kachinas
and inviting themto experience ceremonies at Hopi to
better understand his culture.

Marcus Wall lost hope when his entry was classified as
sculpture rather than pottery.
My gut reaction was, Oh, great. I have absolutely no
chance of winning. I had to compete against my brother
[Adrian] and my sister [Kathleen], Cliff Fragua all these
great sculptors, Wall said. I didnt even think Id get a
ribbon. I thought maybe it was a special award that
it wasnt good enough to get into the category, but the
judges liked it enough to acknowledge it somehow. When
I sawwhat I had won, I was just beside myself. It was just
totally awesome.
Wall was even more astounded because, although he
had been a full-time potter for six years, this was his
first year juried into market. He was so nave, he almost
missed the award ceremony. When they called to invite
me to the luncheon, I said, Ill try to make it. I still have a
lot of work to do. And they were like, No, its in your best
interest to come to lunch. Kathleen had to explain to
himthat the invitation was code for winning an award.
Walls award-winning piece was a replica of a ball and
chain a medieval weapon rendered in clay. Time was
short and Wall had no clay on hand, so he built the piece
fromrecycled clay. The entire piece is hollow.
The chain links presented the most difficulty. I owe a
lot to my sister, Wall said. Alot of it was learning from
her, like building the figurines and building the arms and
the hands. I was basically using that technique.
Kathleen also taught himto build a piece slowly and
patiently, which was the key to making the ball. If you
build a piece too quickly, it will collapse in on itself, so
taking the time to build it properly is important. You have
to let it harden enough to build onto it, Wall said. Wall
had dabbled in making round objects before, so the ball
was not as challenging as the links.
Wall adapted as he created the piece. My original
plan was to create a geometrical pattern with spikes
coming out of the piece. But it just didnt come out right,
Wall said. But while I was searching for designs to put
on some of my other pottery, I had seen this Mimbres
design, and it was just perfect. The design is two warriors
that have gone through battle. The victorious warrior
is decapitating his slain enemy. I thought that was just
totally the piece. The symbology of the ball is victory over
your enemy.
On the handle, Wall used a kachina to symbolize
strength and power. Wall created the designs with
traditional paints black rendered fromwild spinach
and a red-clay slip and added coloration to the clay with
smoke fromthe pit-firing.
For the most part, Wall uses traditional pueblo pottery
techniques to create his contemporary images. I really
like the old style of pottery. I just really like the feel and
the look of it.
Lynda Teller-Pete transcended her usual weaving style
to create her award-winning childs blanket. I ama fifth
generation Navajo weaver. My father worked at the Two
Grey Hills Trading Post for 35 years. Were kind of like the
mob, because we were born into the weaving industry,
Teller-Pete said at the 2011 awards ceremony. Ive always
woven Two Grey Hills. But after watching my niece and
my nephew, I got inspired by howfearless they are in their
weavings. So after last years Indian Market, I went home
and I set up a period piece. I wanted to do a childs blanket
to honor older weavers.
Teller-Pete researched 19th century Navajo textiles at
the Denver Museumof Nature and Science. But I just
felt funny about copying and I didnt really knowhowto
proceed with it. So I just put the rug on the back burner
while I made other pieces.
Then Teller-Pete and her sister Barbara Teller Ornelas
visited the Bosque Redondo Memorial at Fort Sumner
State Monument, where 9,500 Din (Navajo) people
were imprisoned from1863 to 1868. We thought it was
going to be a really sad place, but we discovered that its
a place of strength, Teller-Pete said. We said, Howdid
they survive? Howdid they keep warm? Howdid they
get food? Alot of themwere weaving still, so you can
naturally assume that they bartered for clothing and food
with Navajo rugs. And, I thought, maybe thats why a lot of
themsurvived. Maybe thats why a lot of themcame back.
When I went home, I started thinking about the
struggles that they had overcome. And I looked at my
childs blanket and said, I dont want to just do a period
piece design. I want to put my own energy into it, and
howI feel about that time period. And I wanted it to be
a statement of strength. And thats why I used a lot of
different colors and made a bolder design than the classic
childs blanket, Teller-Pete said. The result was a classic
period design around the edges of the blanket, with
Tellers own spin on it in the center.
Teller-Pete started weaving when she was six years
old, but was unsure of herself. She entered market as a
beadworker, but at Teller Ornelas urging juried in for
weaving in 2004. She received a blue ribbon her first year
and another one in 2006.
At the ceremony, Teller-Pete thanked Teller Ornelas
(who has won Best of Showtwice) for her help. We refer
to her as queen of the wool fairies in our family, Teller-
Pete said. And I thank God for Skype. Because once you
hit a snag, all you have to do is sit in front of the computer
and say, What amI doing here? I need some advice.
Teller-Pete enjoys the freedomof her newexploration
and plans to continue. With these pieces, its more
abstract. It makes me think more creatively, and its like
I dont have any boundaries, Teller-Pete said. It was
scary at first, but I really like it. I like the freedomof not
knowing what Imgoing to weave.

Jamie Okuma began beadworking as a child I started
powwowdancing when I was five years old, and it kind of
just comes with the territory and created her first doll
when she was 15.
Okuma has won numerous awards for her multimedia
sculptures. She was 22 when she won her first Best of
Showwas in 2000. She received Best of Showagain in
2002.
The Northern Mens Fancy War Dancer that won Best
of Classification last year eluded Okuma for many years.
Since I started hes been on my mind, Okuma said.
For anybody who has attended powwows, he is very
familiar. But they do not look appropriate just standing.
They look best when theyre in motion, Okuma said. So
for all those years, it has been one of the most daunting
pieces for me to try to create. And finally, with the help of
my parents hes also somewhat modeled after a relative
hes finally here.
The sculpture is vibrant with motion. The dancer is
poised between one step and the next, with fringe and
feathers appearing to fly in the wind of his motion.
It was the fringe that stymiedOkuma for so many years.
I try to, withevery piece of the outfit, be correct inthe
materials, to use the specific materials for eachof the
dance styles, Okuma said. For the Fancy Dancing outfits,
the menuse flag tape [to formthe fringe]. So, being correct,
I wantedto do that, but it wasnt working. So I hadto find
something comparable that mimickedthe look.
Okuma tried without success inserting wire into
flag tape to get the desired effect. She then scoured craft
stores for fabric she could manipulate to look like the
real thing and shape to suggest motion. When her mother
discovered some wired ribbon, Okuma was finally able to
make her vision a reality.
The soft sculpture took six months to execute. Okuma
does everything by hand, including sculpting the body
frombrain-tanned buckskin, sewing, beading and
metalworking. She beaded the collar and moccasins
using size 22 beads (about the size of a grain of sand),
incorporating 100-year-old antique beads. Okuma also
crafted the silver roach spreader a piece on the top of
the head holding the two eagle feathers in place. She has
created silver armbands, bracelets and necklaces for her
other dancers.
Although most of her materials are authentic, Okuma
rarely uses antique fabrics any more. I did at one point,
but its very, very delicate. It cant really serve its purpose
if its weak. She instead manipulates fabric to recreate
the original.
Okuma invests an enormous amount of time and energy
in every piece she creates. Its my life on display, Okuma
said. I put my heart and soul in every piece I bring. I want
to bring the best of what I have done.
Joyce Growing Thunder Fogarty named her award-
winning doll depicting a woman in traditional Sioux dress
for her mother, Alice Running Bear. Aherd of horses
including six black and white paints gallop across the
skirt and yoke.
I wanted to honor my mother. I never spoke of her
until nowbecause she passed away when I was 14
months old, Growing Thunder Fogarty said. Imtold
by my uncles that when my parents lived in the Chelsea
community on our reservation [Fort Peck Reservation,
Montana], everyone had horses, and my parents had the
prettiest black and white paint saddle horse. So I put this
horse on the dress.
Growing Thunder Fogarty had a long search for the
22 and 24 beads she wanted. When she found them, she
bought the dealers entire stock and began the doll.
The skirt, yoke and moccasins are solidly beaded with
those seed beads, which are finer than a grain of sand.
Growing Thunder Fogarty had never used seed beads for
anything larger than earrings. The doll which took a
year to finish was her only piece at market. (She usually
brings two or three.) The right needles were also difficult
to find each had to be tested to find those fine enough to
go through the beads.
The dolls body is buckskin stuffed with cotton over a
wire frame. Shes wearing dentaliumshell earrings and
has real hair, which Growing Thunder Fogarty purchases.
Growing Thunder Fogarty who has created more
than 500 pieces and won Best of Showthree times had
decided not to compete this year. I entered because my
kids and my grandkids wanted me to. I didnt expect to
win anything, but Imtruly honored and humbled, she
said at the ceremony. I continue to do my work to inspire
the younger generations to carry on our culture and
tradition. Ill carry on my work as long as Imable.
Growing Thunder Fogarty never knewher mother or
her mothers mother, but both were beadworkers, and
she feels a connection to themthrough her work. One
of my grandmothers told me that my mothers mother
could really bead, Growing Thunder Fogarty said. One
of the people who leases my land in Montana told me my
grandmother made hima pair of baby moccasins. He gave
me a picture of them, and her beadwork looks just like
mine. I was surprised and glad about it.
Growing Thunder Fogarty is passing on that legacy. Her
daughter Juanita has won Best of Classification several
times and Juanitas daughter Jessica won the Youth
Classification in 2006. She was also gratified when her
son Jack joined the three of themat the kitchen table this
year to work on a beaded gun case.
Theyve got to carry it on, Growing Thunder Fogarty
said. Even my little teeny grandkids say, Imgoing to do
beads, too. Imgoing to make dolls. Ill teach themwhen
theyre ready.

Bennie Klain, founding partner of TricksterFilms,
has received numerous prestigious awards. Klains
documentary, Columbus Day Legacy, follows supporters
and detractors of the Columbus Day Parade in Denver,
Colorado, the birthplace of the celebration.
Klain filmed in 2007, during the 100th anniversary
of Colorados Columbus Day holiday. He captures the
clashes between Italian Americans desire to honor their
heritage and American Indians protest against Columbus
enslavement of indigenous people and the genocide his
discovery unleashed.
Klain directed the crewfilming the Native side of the
story while his producer, Leighton C. Peterson, filmed the
Italian American point of view.
Klain transcribed all 50 hours of footage, something
he does for every film. Fromthat an opening scene
emerges for me, and I build that one scene in editing. Then
I just kind of go forth fromthere, Klain said. I think it
frustrates my producers because it takes so long, but if you
want to remain true to the human story the process has to
be organic like that.
Klain draws on the talents of those with whomhe works.
I operate froman understanding that filmmaking is a
collaborative process.
What Klains collaborators have to say is not always
easy to hear. Peterson and Klains funders believed the
documentary originally planned for one hour would
play better in 30 minutes. That absolutely killed me,
Klain said. But, honestly, I think its a better film. Imglad
I have really opinionated editors who are able to tell me
these things truthfully, Klain said.
One story that emerges in the filmis of the 1914 Ludlow
Massacre, when the Colorado National Guard directed
machine-gun fire at a tent camp of striking mine workers
and their families many of themItalian American
then torched the camp, killing 25 men, women and
children. That is contrasted with footage of 3rd Colorado
Cavalry re-enactors, one of the units responsible for the
Sand Creek Massacre, leading the 2006 parade.
Klain continually questions whether he is telling
the right story or telling it in the right way, but feels he
succeeded with Columbus Day Legacy. I think by telling
the story of the LudlowMassacre, it provides a very
balanced view. It tells audiences that these two groups
who are battling each other publicly have more in common
than they think, Klain said.
I think that the expectationof me as a Navajo filmmaker
would be that I would tilt toward the Native side of the
story and just capture that. But I was adamant fromthe
very beginning that I wanted to get both sides. Klain
said. No story is interesting unless you get both sides.
Otherwise it just starts to fall into propaganda territory.
And my job is not to spread propaganda. My job is to tell a
humanstory. Thats always beenwhat Ive worked toward.
Valerie Calabaza, 13, faced stiff competition last year.
More than 600 youths under 17 entered Indian Market.
Calabazas winning shell mosaic necklace and earring set
was a remarkable piece of workmanship.
Calabazas two primary teachers are her grandparents,
Mary and Joseph Calabaza, who specialize in super-fine
heishi. Both learned fromtheir parents. The elders have
taught all their grandchildren jewelry making.
Valerie Calabaza started making bracelets when
she was three or four. I start themoff early. Like this
granddaughter here, Mary Calabaza said, pointing
to a nearby child. Shes three and shes helping us do
the work. As she teaches themto make jewelry, Mary
Calabaza also teaches the children about their Santo
Domingo culture and tradition.
Valerie Calabazas necklace and earring set was a
traditional design worn at ceremonies. It was the first time
she had attempted anything like this, and she was proud
of doing all the work herself. She began in January and
finished just before market.
Spiny oyster shell forms the foundation for each
segment of the necklace. Valerie Calabaza cut the shell and
each piece of stone for the inlay. There is a lot of breakage
in the process, and stones that do not fit snuggly had to be
reshaped or discarded. She then glued the inlay pieces onto
the shell base. After the stones were set, she ground each
segment to achieve a uniformsurface. The centerpiece
presented the greatest challenge, Valerie Calabaza said,
because she had to grind the inlay to match the convex
surface of the shell.
At first, its really frustrating, because the pieces break
sometimes. And you just keep trying and trying, Valerie
Calabaza said. Sometimes you dont have a perfect shape,
too, so you have to just keep working at it.
Imso very proud of her. She had the patience, Mary
Calabaza said. There are times that you get frustrated,
because of all the breakage and [things] not coming out
perfect, but she just went right back and redid everything.
She took her time and listened to what I had to say.
Mary Calabaza has shared stories of their jewelry
making lineage with her grandchildren, fromhow
their ancestors had shaped heishi by hand, rolling it on
sandstone Valerie used contemporary grinders and
polishers to howmore contemporary generations
innovated with materials like gypsum, old batteries and old
records when nothing else was available.
At the awards ceremony, Mary Calabaza said, [Valerie]
thought of making one this year to honor her great-grandpa
and great-great-grandpa. So I amvery honored and pleased
and happy that she did that piece. She worked on it really
hard fromscratch.

InnovatIon
award
By Arin McKennA
The piece that took last years Innovation Award a
stainless-steel concho belt designed by Pat Pruitt gives
newmeaning to the termfunctional art.
Not only is the belt wearable art, but each concho is
engraved with a readable quick response (QR) code.
QRcodes, a type of barcode, are popular with smart
phone users. Aquick scan can lead to a website or more
information about whatever the code is attached to.
Pruitt was still using a dumb phone when he created
the belt, but he became curious about the origin of the
increasingly popular QRcodes and began researching
them. When he found websites that would create QRcodes
free of charge, his imagination soared.
It occurred to me, you can literally tell a story. You
can convey a message. It doesnt have to be advertising. It
doesnt have to be document information. You can literally
tell a story by generating the proper code for sentences,
paragraphs, really structured things. The variations
are infinite, Pruitt said. And the code itself is kind of
beautiful. There was this inherent beauty of this code that
can mean anything.
Making the belt functional in the sense Pruitt wanted
was a challenge. You had to be able to stick your phone up
to it and read it, he said. He realized that the computerized
machining process he normally uses would not create
a crisp enough image. So he sought out an Albuquerque
company that specializes in laser engraving.
But there was another unforeseen hurdle. The image I
had was of this super-polished piece with this cool black
image on it. He soon found that the reflectivity of the
highly polished surface interfered with a smart phones
ability to read the code. Sanding produced the same
problem. Through trial and error, Pruitt discovered that a
bead-blasted matte finish did the trick.
Pruitt took a leap of faith that the judges would realize
that they should read the belt. It was designed to create
that interaction and create that mystique about, What
does it say? he said.
Eight conchos each convey one line of a poemby Pruitt.
It reads:
AFine Line.
We respect our culture and tradition.
The world revolves around us.
It has been given to us to protect.
This is the razors edge.
We balance on this line.
We run in both worlds.
We speak without saying words.
The ninth concho leads to Pruitts website, www.
patpruitt.com.
Pruitt has not created any more QRpieces, although
the possibilities continue to lure him. If you really start
thinking about the fact that you can generate any code
to say anything or take you anywhere, howcool would it
be to make a necklace with a bunch of little codes in the
squash blossomformat? What if all those little links were
QRcodes that took you to YouTube videos of you making

that necklace?
The belt found a very appropriate home. It was
purchased by Bruce Nussbaum, who arrived at Pruitts
booth at 5 a.m. Saturday morning to be sure he could
purchase it.
Nussbaumis a professor of innovation and design at
Parsons The NewSchool for Design. I brought the belt
into my class and they all whipped out their smart phones
and had a good time, Nussbaumsaid.

2012 swaia
fellowships
By Arin McKennA
The SWAIAFellowship Programwas established in 1980
to support both emerging and established artists who
wanted to expand their artistic horizons. The material
support and prestige associated with these awards have
launched and revitalized careers.
Rising to the top of a field of talented competitors is no
easy feat, and the caliber of this years recipients is as
usual outstanding. These working artists all expressed
gratitude for the resources that allowthemto pursue
long-cherished goals.
Discovery Fellows
Discovery Fellowships are designed to help artists explore
their creative process and push the boundaries of their
respective art forms. Discovery Fellows receive a $5,000
monetary award and a complimentary Fellowship Booth
at market.
Jackie Larson Bread
Amsakapi Pikunni (Southern Blackfeet)
Jackie Larson Bread taught herself beading by studying
her deceased grandmothers work.
The really lasting component of this fellowship is
that I get to go and look at Blackfeet beadwork held in
both private and public collections and learn fromthose
pieces, Larson Bread said. And thats something that
I will always have. In the long run, it will make me be a
better artist, and Imreally thankful for that.
She has no intention of recreating historical pieces. I
dont like to just regurgitate Blackfeet traditional designs
again and again. Its been done by people who were better
than me at it, and I dont have any desire to do something
thats already been done, Larson Bread said. I want to
take some of those components that are so unique to us
as Blackfeet people and present themin a different way,
present themin the way Imseeing them.
Larson Bread seeks out historical photographs
of Blackfeet people for source material to do the
photorealistic beadwork she specializes in. Looking at
those photos is endlessly interesting to me, she said. I
spend hours and hours with people that passed away a
hundred years ago. It is also such a challenge to really
make it look like that person, to be true to that person.
One bead in the wrong place and it changes everything. So
in that sense its a technical challenge. And Imalways up
for that.
Larson Bread has also begun work on a major piece a
large blanket strip that incorporates her photorealistic
images and traditional Blackfeet designs. She is using
beads smaller than 1/16 inch and a technique called two-
needle appliqu. Technically, it is one of the most time-
consuming styles of beadwork, but you can do virtually
anything with it, she said.
Asked howshe finds the patience, Larson Bread replied,
I think it is just the passion that takes the forefront. This
is so engrossing to me that it doesnt matter howmuch
time its going to take. I can wait for virtually days to see
howthis small area is going to turn out. And I dont think
thats really patience. Its just being in awe of the media.

Dyani Reynolds-White Hawk
Sicangu Lakota (Rosebud Sioux)
Dyani Reynolds-White Hawk who also won a 2011 Best
of Classification award plans to continue exploring
the interaction between the respective art forms of her
Lakota and European heritage. She sees abstraction as the
bridge between the two: the abstract symbolismof Plains
art and the work of Western abstractionist painters.
Discovering that many of those abstractionists were
influenced by American Indian art intensified her desire
to explore the connection.
In her fellowship application, Reynolds-White Hawk
wrote, It is not their Native counterparts that are
celebrated and honored for their rich contributions, but
the Western artists whose work was so highly influenced
by contact with Native cultures. She hopes the work
generated by her research changes that and increases
awareness of the mastery of Native artists. She plans to
expand upon a series of abstractions rooted in Plains
quillwork and beadwork and to create a master studies
series of Navajo blankets.
Reynolds-White Hawk will study the Plains and
Southwest collections at the National Museumof the
American Indian (NMAI) in Washington, D.C., and
Western abstract paintings in NewYork Citys museums
and galleries. The experience firsthand actually seeing
the works in person and getting to spend time with the
works is so, so different than looking at things in print
or online, she said. Youre privy to information you just
cant get in printed sources. Thats why its so important
to me to actually get out there and spend time with both
Native historic works and Western works.
Its a real gift to be able to conduct research that Im
really excited and passionate about, Reynolds-White
Hawk added. You can sit around and mull on a great idea,
but if you dont have the ability to carry it through, then
its just a great idea. So its not only the ability to get the
access but the inspiration and productivity and newideas
that come out of that. Thats what excites me most. And
Imjust beside-myself excited to get into the collections of
the NMAI, too. Its something Ive wanted to do for a long
time. I cant wait to go spend time with all those works.
Residency Fellows
Residency Fellows receive a one-month residency at
the Santa Fe Art Institute, a $5,000 monetary award, a
complimentary Fellowship Booth at market and a Santa
Fe Art Institute Open Studio Event.
Shonto Begay
Navajo (Din)
Shonto Begay hopes being away fromthe familiarity of
his home in Flagstaff, Arizona, and free fromthe pressure
to generate income allowhimto fully engage in his work
as an artist. I want to take this time and space to create
froma deeper source than I have explored, he said.
I want to delve into my own mystery and bring to the
surface the dark light I have been hesitant to awaken.
Begay hopes the residency moves himtowardhis artistic
peak. There are always many, many roads leading out
of my artistic world, so I just needto finda more definite
path, he said. Not necessarily the pathof least resistance,
but something adventurous thats a goodlegacy.
Besides painting, Begay hopes to make progress toward
completing his autobiography and do some other writing.
The paintings I do are pretty muchautobiographical,
he said. The landscapes I do, the people I do, wherever
they come from, they all come fromthe same source. Thats
something I want to give language to, give a voice to.
Begay also expects to engage young artists, something
he does regularly in Flagstaff. I just feel its something
that goes with the gifts youve been given. Youve been
given a beautiful way to express your life, express your
world, express your victories, Begay said.
I came out of the grueling, brutal world of the United
States government boarding school and the poverty of the
sheep camps and the reservation and still found a lot of
beauty and a lot of message in it, and a lot of things that
can be expressed in a way the whole world appreciates.
Those types of things, I want to put words to them.
Because a lot of young people, especially now, are just
giving up.

to be an artist whose life mattered, whose having been,
breathed, walked, created in this world mattered for
centuries to come.
Alex Joel Pea
Cochit Pueblo/San Ildefonso Pueblo/Pawnee
This is Alex Peas first year showing at Indian
Market. He had never applied because he believed
only traditional Native artists were accepted. That
misconception was corrected when he actually visited
market. One of the things that attracted me to Indian
Market is the juxtaposition between someone who is very
contemporary next to traditional Native artists, he said.
Pea is in many ways an artistic explorer. I never
want to pigeonhole myself into one type of art, because
to me that is extremely limiting, Pea said. I vacillate
between ideas, between techniques, between realismand
abstraction all of those all of the time and have given
myself the indulgence to be able to do that.
The artist has resisted the pressure to be defined by his
heritage as well as the pressure to reject it. During my
undergraduate work, my professors viewed me as having
this great wealth of millenniums-old knowledge and
heritage and culture that I could tap into. And if I didnt
tap into it, then there was something wrong. So they kind
of made it feel like it was my obligation to stick to that,
Pea said. But when I got to graduate school, I had one
professor ask me, Why does every Indian have to do a
feather? So it was kind of the opposite, in that they were
trying to get me away fromsomething Native. I found a
balance, eventually, in between. Imnot abandoning being
Native, nor amI doing stereotypical Native work that
some people would have liked me to do.
In his fellowship application, Pea wrote: I consider
myself an emerging contemporary artist with an
American Indian background. With my work I want
to showthat I have no obligation to create anything for
anyone else because Imsupposed to, but I can create for
any audience or reason.
The studio space provided by the residency will allow
the artist who normally works on the kitchen table in
his apartment to create large, bold, abstract pieces.
Pea is moved by SWAIAs recognition. Its rewarding
to see that there are people who really value my work and
have given me this privilege and honor to expand on my
work, he said.
youthFellows
SWAIAbelieves the future of Native art rests with our
younger generations. Youth Fellows receive a certificate
presented at an honoring reception and a cash award to be
used for research or supplies.
Atsatsa Antonio
Navajo/Shawnee
Seventeen-year-old Atsatsa Antonio has explored
drawing, painting, clay working and carving. But five
years ago, someone taught himhowto use metalworking
to create tools fromfound objects, and he was hooked.
In his fellowship application, Antonio wrote: I love
turning things that people once thought [of ] as junk into a
beautiful, unique tool.
Antonio has created fire pokers, knives and horse
equipment. I try to keep the original look to the metal, he
said. If I use rebar, you try to keep that original pattern.
If I use a file, I keep the grooves in it. So I try to keep a
natural look to it.
He uses a forge he built himself froma repurposed shop
vacuumpowered by a car battery, and he is nonchalant
about that accomplishment. There are many ways to
build a forge. My first forge, I just used my own breath.
I blewthrough a little tube into the fire, Antonio said.
Then I designed a regular forge using a hair dryer. You
can make themout of almost anything. Its pretty easy.
Antonio plans to create some larger projects with the
fellowship money. I want to make an ax or a machete, but
I need a bigger forge. I have to try to find a bigger blower
and a better heat source. So instead of seasoned charcoal,
I might try using coal or something like that.
The young artist also hopes to travel to study with
other blacksmiths. This is his first year showing at
market. Its pretty exciting. I dont really knowwhat to
expect. I cant wait.
Asked why metalworking won out over all the other
arts, Antonio replied, Because its really unique and
hardly anyone else does it. Youre like the only one. And
you can make most anything with the forge. I like that
concept, to make your own stuff, and you dont have to buy
anything, because you have the skills.
Amber Laughing
Navajo (Din)
Amber Laughing, 14, has been weaving since she was
4 years old. My grandma started teaching me, and my
parents started teaching me. That way I could continue
the weaving throughout the family, because not many of
my cousins weave, she said. To me, its about telling
a story within the rugs. Its more about howit connects
within your life and howtradition has to be kept alive.
Thats why it was important to me.
In 2010, at the age of 12, Laughing took first place, Best
of Class and Best of Showawards at the Navajo Nation
Fair in WindowRock, Arizona, and won first place in the
Youth 3DCategory at the same event in 2011.
Laughing will use her fellowship to purchase yarn and
tools to create more complex weavings. I want to start
doing more difficult rugs, rugs that my grandma does, like
some that have three rugs in one, she said. Because right
now, mine are kind of simple. And I just want to get better
at it, to learn different ways, like howthe colors connect.
Laughing came regularly to Indian Market with her
grandmother when she was younger but is not sure if she
will make it this year. She starts classes at her high school
the Monday after market.
I only do maybe one rug a year, because there are so
many other things to do, she said. And a lot of those are
orders, so I cant really sell themat art shows.
Laughingbelievesshewill continuetoweaveasahobby
but doesnot seethisasher career. Asafreshmaninhigh
school, weavinghastocompetewithrigorousacademic
classesandher loveof sportsbasketball inparticular.
Practice is two hours a day, and traveling out of town
constantly for tournaments gets pretty hectic, she said.
So theres not a lot of time to weave, but when I do, I
really try hard and try to put effort into my work.

Just in front of the Palace of the Governors, two Bens
are talking artist Ben Harjo Jr., a Seminole-Shawnee,
and artist Ben Nighthorse Campbell (perhaps better
known outside artistic circles as a former U.S. senator
fromColorado). The two men have known each other for
more than 30 years. Ben and I go back a long ways, said
Campbell, who doesnt showat market anymore because
too many folks wanted to discuss Medicare or Social
Security once he went into politics. Hes still attending,
though. I like togoandsee oldfriends; unfortunately, now,
some are passing on.
Campbell, a jeweler and member of the Northern
Cheyenne tribe, doesnt miss his old job in Congress. Its
so mean back there, he said. Its angry. Imhappy being a
grandpa. I was inthis worldlong before I went intopolitics.
Leaning on a beaded cane, Campbell tells a story that
sums up the small world of market and Indian art: I was
walking last year at market and this guy came up to me,
pointedat my cane andsaid, My mommade that cane.
Classification winners Jamie Okuma and Arthur
Holmes Jr. (she for a beaded dancer in Diverse Arts; he for
Wooden Pueblo Carvings) are side by side. Her momand
fellowartist, Sandra Okuma, is selling her beaded purses.
Jamie (Luiseo/Shoshone-Bannock) is standing backfrom
the booth, watching. Shes wearing slick, sparkling black
tennis shoes and spidery black gloves, taking in the scene
without speaking. Apotential buyer wants to peek at the
beaded Louboutins (high-end shoes) in the case. Another
is trying ona bracelet. She always sells out of her exquisite
beadwork.
Next door, Holmes sits with his massive katsina on
the table before him. Its a father and son hunting (the
judge called it the most important skill a Hopi father can
pass down: survival). His wife, Irene, and son Hunter are
nearby. Hunter is pleased about his fathers success but
is more excited that he has just received his first phone.
Its only 7:02a.m.
The streets of Santa Fe were eerie on the Friday of
the 2011 Indian Market, with a temporary power outage
turning the world black. By early morning, water pooled
in the canvas that covers the booths, sending liquid show-
ers below. It was chilly enough for Manuelita Coochvikvia
(Hopi) to grab her sons SpongeBob blanket and wrap her-
self inits warmth.
Curtis Naseyowma, alsoa member of the Hopi tribe and
self-proclaimed helper for artists Gregory and Gilbert
Naseyowma, was using a chair to knock the water off the
top of his booth covering. The drive into Santa Fe from
Hopi was spectacular, he said, as the family came in from
near Tuba City, Arizona, throughAbiquiandCuba. It was
storming andit was almost pitchblack, Curtis said. It just
lit upthe mountains.
Right along the Plaza, on San Francisco Street, Joe V.
Cajero is holding court. The Jemez Pueblo bowmaker and
potter is telling a customer, I dont knowhowmany bows
Ive made. Ive lost count. The bows are of oak, blacklocust
and salt cedar, with turkey feathers to guide the arrows
along (culled from turkeys Cajero shot himself). Hes a
crack shot withanarrow.
One time, he said, withmy son, whenhe was 11 years
old, I sawthis turkey, and shot himthrough the eyes. Just
before market, Cajero competed in the national Senior
Olympics, taking fourthplace inhis archery classification.
Being anIndian, he said, I have to be good.
The last booth on Lincoln Avenue about as far fromthe
Plaza as IndianMarket gets is where painter andsculptor

market
Its early on the first day of Santa Fe Indian Market, well before 7 a.m.
Market veterans are set up and ready to start selling with the official
opening. Lines are winding fromthe booths of the most popular artists.
Other artists are barely wheeling their items in. This year, a drenching,
overnight rain still glistens on booths and pavement with clouds threat-
ening another downpour. The Plaza grass is wet shimmering for the
first time in what seems like ages. The drought that has plagued Santa Fe
for months isnt over, but it is temporarily abated.
Its not just the art that draws people to Indian Market
This is Indian Market 2011, a jumble of sights and sounds, a place where friends and family reunite and,
most of all, where the biggest and best Native art market on the planet assembles in the middle of Santa Fe.
The place to see and be seen, its one big event made up of the small moments that bring to life this gathering for
both old-timers and newcomers every year.

His wife, Tonya Jesus, is there, talking tocustomers, giving

Nearby is Daisuki Uchi, a Japanese man in cowboy
hat and boots whos in town for market and a longtime
friend of the family. He went to Japan and stayed with
my family, Uchi said of the Navajo painter. Then he
came back and won Best of Show. My grandfather gave
to Sheldon the family crest. He is an older brother. Uchi,
a leathermaker, is so fond of the Navajo culture, he said,
they call me a Jap-a-ho.
The recession, as recessions do, cut into the art busi-
ness. I got hit hard, Harvey said. Its been about four
months withme literally hustling andhustling. It was get-
ting scary. Harvey andseveral other artist friends pitched
infor aglossy, two-pageadvertisement inlast years issueof

idea. He said, Why dont we all pitch in for this cover?
This will be a good marketing tool. It was fun. Harvey,
Sanderson, JodyNaranjo, KennethJohnson, KathleenWall
andTony Abeyta became the inside spreadinthe magazine
with that ad (Goler Shoes provided the footwear). So cool
weretheshoes, hesaid, Weendedupbuyingthem.
Over at Cathedral Park, where the nonprofits reside dur-
ing market, Sealaska Heritage Institute is gearing up to
showcase the culture of the far Northwest. With artists,
demonstrations, storytelling and dancing, it brings a dif-
ferent vibe to market, introducing another slice of Native
life tothe Southwest. Its alsothe place for another moment
at market, this one featuring city code enforcers. The 2011
market will forever be remembered as the one where
debates over taxes andbuildingpermits intrudedontheart.
Sevastian Gurule, constituent services manager for
the city of Santa Fe, is there with enforcer Barbara Lopez,
whowants toknowwhy sales are taking place at Cathedral
Park. City ordinances, she said, limit sales at the park
only to a few select shows its part of a deal with the
Archdiocese of Santa Fe that gave the land to the city
and Indian Market isnt one of those selected shows.
SWAIAhonchoBruce Bernsteinis all smiles as the discus-
sion goes on. Weve had merchandise sales here for four
to five years, he said of the SWAIAbooth that is sharing
the nonprofit space with Sealaska and others. Sealaska
Heritage officer Lee Kadinger reminds everyone that art-
ists at the cathedral are selling through the nonprofit, not
as individuals. Not only that, officials fromSealaska met
with Mayor David Coss back in June to work all this out.
It was approved, he maintained.
Gurule saidhis staff is bending over backwardtomake
Indian Market work, especially after the earlier holdups
over business licenses. What matters most, both men
agreed, is that Indian Market succeed for all of Santa Fe.
For this weekend, for these moments of market, the non-
profits cankeepselling.
Despite the difficulties last year every IndianMarket
artist must obtain a city business permit, which neces-
sitates having an individual tax number, a process that
jammed at several critical points in 2011 all seems to be
humming along between the city and the market by mid-
morning Saturday. Theyre doing a great job inhandling a
huge workload, Bernsteinsaid. Inanevent like this, there
is always something that canhappen. This is 14city blocks.
Ultimately, we bothwant IndianMarket, its history andits
traditiontoshine.
Rachel Gearhart and Harmony Romano are holding silky,
colorful umbrellas over by Taos Pueblo designer Patricia
Michaels booth. They were among 19 models who took
part in a street fashion show that unleashed beauty on
heels around the Santa Fe Plaza on Saturday. Wearing
Michaels original fashion and carrying the umbrellas
its a sculpture for the corner of your home, one customer
remarked the young women set off en masse to spread
light andcolor aroundthe madness of market.
It was so much fun, Gearhart said. Her fabrics are
all lightweight and moveable. Look at the colors through
the sun.
Inspiration for the umbrella with hand-carved han-
dles and hand-painted fabrics came froma love of T.C.
Cannons art and traditional flowers as they appear on
pottery. The splashes of color change as the sun shines on
them, making the umbrella a piece of art that wont sit still.
Model Romano, gazing at her fabric, said, I feel like a
fairy under a toadstool.
Just one more moment at market. Piled one on top of the
other, these moments combine tocreate the magic that sets
IndianMarket apart. Well all be backagainthis year tosee
what the 2012 market brings, whether a famous designer
(TomFord) judging the Clothing Competition on Sunday,
or a surprise winner at the Best of Show Ceremony on
Friday or best of all, a simple conversationwithanartist
who shares his inspirationandstory.
Clothing contestants push fashion
boundaries while honoring tradition
story By Kay LocKridge
photos By Kitty LeaKen
Color, composition and creativity all are
essential to good [fashion] design, but perhaps
its the things you cant see but feel the
energy and effort put into each piece of
clothing that creates a winning style, said
Santa Fe native TomFord, a noted fashion
designer and award-winning filmdirector and
producer. Such energy and effort are projected
onto the design through the belief of the
designer. You can feel it as well as see it.
Ford was the celebrity judge brought in for the first time
to judge the contemporary clothing categories, including
the newcontemporary designer clothing competition,
during the 2011 Native American Clothing Contest at
Indian Market.
What I found exceptional in the contemporary
competition was that designers were
faithful to traditional Native
American elements and yet
presented themwith a new,
fresh perspective, he said,
pointing to the winning
design by Toni Williams
(Arapaho/Seneca) in
the Contemporary Adult
Women category. Good
things are always good
things and stand out. Good,
creative design strikes a
chord with people. This is
true whether were talking about
traditional or contemporary design.
Williams had created a Japanese-

2011 SWAIAIndian Market Native Clothing Contest
Brent Brokeshoulder
Royale Da
inspired kimono for her daughter-in-lawNaomi Bebo
Maybee (Menominee/Hochunk).
I love ledger art, which speaks to our past and present,
as well as to the future, and wanted to put it on clothing,
Williams said. I wasnt sure howto do it, however, so
I prayed on it for a year and then, at the Heard show
[in Phoenix] in March [2011], I sawa kimono featuring
buffalos. After that, I had a dreamin which I sawthe
buffalo running east to greet the day, as the Creator
would have them.
Ive beensewing forever, but suchvisions hadnever
come before. The kimono I designedtells our story ina way
people today will understandandappreciate, she said.
Williams has passed down both her love of, and talent
for, sewing to her son, artist Dallin Maybee, who has
designed award-winning clothing for himself in previous
Indian Market clothing contests. In 2011 Maybee
designed a head-to-toe pink outfit for his 1-year-old
daughter, Persephone, which won both first place for girls
1 to 5 in the traditional Plains and other tribes category
and Female Best in Show.
My daughter inspired me the moment she was born,
and she continues to inspire me, Maybee said. Shes
a blessing to us and a joy as well. The outfit is a Plains
design and construction; its made to be worn and
enjoyed. This outfit shows you want the best for your
child. Every parent must feel that way at least I hope
they do. We certainly do.
Fordsaidhe was quite takenwithbothwinning outfits.
This was a family affair. Youcouldsee the sharedvision.
Warren Giago Jr. (Lakota/Dakota) shyly but proudly
wore the traditional wedding suit designed by his wife,
artist Lauren Good Day Frank-Giago (Arikara/Blackfeet/
Cree), that won both the traditional Plains and other
tribes adult male category and Male Best in Show. He
said it was important to themboth that he be dressed
in traditional clothing for [their wedding], the most
important day of my life. It speaks to our life together.
Clothing tells the story of a people, its culture,
history and tradition. Often, people think about Native
Americans as we were envisioned at the turn of the [last]
century, said artist, educator and activist Charlene
Teters (Spokane). If were not walking around in
buckskin and fringe, mimicking the stereotype in dress
and art form, were not seen as real. Native Americans are
here, and we are contemporary people, yet we are very
much informed and connected to our history.
Perhaps no one is more connected to his history than
Virgil Ortiz, Cochit Pueblo potter and fashion designer.
I always say potter first, because that came first and is
so important to our pueblo, Ortiz said. Actually fashion
and pottery kind of lean on each other. Ideas fromeach
other go back and forth.
Tradition is important to me. My art, considered
extremely contemporary, reflects that, especially if you
look closely at my designs. I comment on the past and
present through my art, which becomes the future
and I encourage you to look at and think about the
design.
Din designer Penny Singer is
another Native artist who pushes
the boundaries of fashion while
remaining true to her cultural
roots. She draws inspiration
fromtraditional Navajo designs,
embossing geometric shapes
on velvet and using silver in
her work. Mostly I see all of
my garments as wearable art,
Singer said. I can do the traditional
Navajo velvet and then I incorporate
silver or beadwork on vests and jackets.
I also have used seashells and brass
buttons jazzing the garment up, giving it that
regalia look, a little of the powwowlook.
Virginia Yazzie Ballenger (Din) and Kathy Whitman-
Elk Woman (Mandan/Hidatsa) also reinvent and
reinterpret tribal traditions in their practical apparel.
I like to continue to grow, to innovate, to find the next
different thing and stay fresh, Whitman-Elk Woman
said. This is what it means to be an artist.

But it was a trip to Jemez artist Cliff Fraguas studio
that launched his fascination with sculpture. Wall was
7 or 8 years old and was intrigued by the power tools and
the clouds of dust as artists brought figures to life from
stone slabs
It was really cool, he said. Its a vivid memory.
But he also wanted to be a rock star. He and his friends
at Santa Fe Indian School listened to a lot of heavy
metal, and his original plan was to be a drummer. Then
his friend Ed Kabotie bought hima bass guitar at age 17,
and he started listening to rock and reggae and actually
playing music.
Wall pursued the two passions concurrently when he
moved to Albuquerque at age 19. He learned fromfellow
sculptors and artists, and he also helped start a Native
rock band, Red Earth. He was introduced to funk, samba
and Latin-infused music and loved the syncopation.
Being really young and really hungry to make music
and art was an incredible time in my life, said Wall.
Red Earth was totally about smashing stereotypes,
he said. It was about being a Native artist in this age and
expressing ourselves without any kind of filters.
Wall said he took to the bass because it was percussive
and links the other instruments.
Being a bass player fits my personality, because I like
to see everything going on and howit fits together and see
what my role is, he said.
Now41, Wall is an established artist with a number
of loyal collectors and is a veteran of Santa Fe Indian
Market, where he has participated for about 12 years.
After more than 10 years with Red Earth, including
recording three CDs, he left to spend more time on his art.
He also had a family, including a son, and balancing all
that was difficult, he added.
But Wall has continued to play, adding flute and guitar
to his repertoire and releasing two solo CDs, Reap the
Sun and Songs on the Wind. He and Kabotie launched a
project several years ago called Twin Rivers and recorded
Springs of Guisewa, which they hope to remix and release
next year. Its a mix of traditional music with reggae and
other influences.
Were bringing Native music into a more contemporary
context, he said, and that includes his flute music. Thats
really exciting to me.
Kabotie is a drummer and vocalist, as well as a linguist,
and the project features lyrics in Tewa and Hopi
languages.
Pamela Pierce, CEOof Silver Bullet Productions, has
used Walls music in several documentaries, including
Ancient Pathways and Canes of Power.
He has a great energy, Pierce said. He captures the
Native sound but does it with great modern flair.
Walls art reflects that sensibility as well. He has
usually drawn inspiration fromPueblo traditions
and Southwestern aesthetics, but he also combines
representational images with abstract forms.
Wall often plays music at festivals where he is also
showing his art. He listens to music constantly as he
works at his Santa Fe studio. Lately its Polynesian and
reggae, but his tastes run the gamut.
My iPod is pretty intense, he said. My all-time
favorite band is Fishbone. Theyre just amazing. I think
Red Earth really modeled themselves after them.
Wall also organized jamsessions at the Institute for
American Indian Arts, where he is pursuing a bachelors
degree, and eventually started a music club at the school.
He will play at IAIAs Vital Strides event at the Museum
of Contemporary Native Arts on August 19. The event
is a fundraiser for the schools Associated Student
Government. It includes art demonstrations and a silent
auction and runs from10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Since entering IAIA, Wall said his artistic vision
has been changing. I was doing all these markets and
galleries and my art was being commodified because I was
making it for this market, he said. Imstarting to make
more art for myself. Imtrying to give my art a voice.

He recently did a piece on genetically modified food
that featured a corn maiden, contrasting Native food as
medicine with altered food.
He has also started to tackle social issues with his
music but said he finds that more difficult.
Ive done a couple of pieces that were controversial
and attacked issues, but a lot has been feel-good music,
he said. I have a harder time letting myself go, writing
music and lyrics that take a side.

We admire Native art on our walls. We display it on our mantels and elsewhere in our
homes or workplaces. Many of us wear fine Native art, displaying it with pride. Yet, when
we consider all its diverse forms, we rarely think of Native art on the movie screen.
Over the past dozen years, through the Native Cinema Showcase at Santa Fe Indian
Market, the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts and the Smithsonian Institutions
National Museumof the American Indian have made tremendous strides in making
Native filmmaking a central component of the Native art world.
Through the years we have seen Native art evolve and progress, said Jhane Myers
NoiseCat (Comanche/Blackfeet), coordinator of the 12th Annual Native Cinema
Showcase and the founding executive director of the American Indian National Center
for Television and Filmin Los Angeles. SWAIAhas always nurtured and acknowledged
a continuation of Native fine art. Filmis a natural fit as a creative art formof Native
artistic expression. With the inclusion of Native filmas a viable part of Indian Market, it
introduces the films and filmmakers to a broad and impressionable audience.
The showcase is a tremendous experience for filmmakers and audiences, said film
producer Chad Burris (Chickasaw), founder of the NewMexico-based Indion Group
of Entertainment Companies. Its an opportunity for filmmakers to screen in front of
a wide audience. It also gives that same audience an opportunity to see the films they
might otherwise miss. SWAIAand the Smithsonian have been such great supporters and
true advocates for independent cinema, [and] the showcase really
exemplifies this.
The showcase has evolved froma weekend event to a full week
of screenings. This year it will premiere at 7 p.m. Monday, August
13, with Mosquita y Mari, an award-winning coming-of-age story
directed by acclaimed filmmaker Aurora Guerrero and produced
by Burris. (Guerrero, Burris and N. Bird Runningwater, director of
Sundance Institutes Native American and Indigenous Program, will
be present at the event.)
I couldnt be happier to be the opening film, said Burris, who has
produced such films as Barking Water by Sterlin Harjo (Seminole/
Creek), as well as Bringing Up Bobby, The Killer Inside Me and Yellow.
Whats a more perfect opportunity than opening for market and allowing this formof
art to be in front of so many? I think its absolutely vital to continue to allowa venue to
screen films by Native artists, and theres nothing more apt than Indian Market for that.
Myers NoiseCat explained that SWAIAand NMAI entered into a partnership four
years ago, making cinema an official category at Indian Market Classification X: A
Moving Images awards category, more commonly known simply as Class X.
WhyClass X?
Prior to filmbeing added to the juried art formthere were nine classifications of art
at Indian Market, said Myers NoiseCat, an accomplished and award-winning artist.
Naturally filmbecame the 10th classification. Since Xsymbolizes 10 in Roman
numerals, the title evolved to Class X.
The class is divided into five divisions. The category of narrative shorts encompasses
non-commercial, narrative motion pictures shorter than 30 minutes. Brief films
that record reality fall into the documentary shorts division. The animation category
includes 2-Dor 3-Dfilms in which the rapid display of still images creates the illusion
of movement. Experimental films are characterized by the absence of a linear narrative.
Finally, narrative films longer than 90 minutes fall into the full-length feature category.
Steven Judd (Kiowa/Choctaw) is a relative newcomer to telling the Native experience
through film. He believes that throughout history one way of saving
or even sharing culture is through story.
I think the way storytelling has shifted is that we have different
mediums to tell stories, said Judd, who co-wrote the screenplay
for Shouting Secrets, a filmby Karinna Sehringer currently making
its way around the film-festival circuit. Shouting Secrets will show
at the SWAIA/Smithsonian cinema showcase at 7:30 p.m. Friday,
August 17. Judd, Sehringer and lead actor Chaske Spencer (Lakota)
aka werewolf SamUley in the Twilight series will be present.
So while I dont just make Native-specific stories all the time,
Judd said, I do make a very conscious effort to try to use the
language when I can in a modern setting. I think its a way to reach
[people], especially the youth, and help share a bit of our culture that
they might not otherwise be privy to or even care to know.
As Native films begin to stretch past the long shadows of Hollywood, one question
that emerges is whether Native films and documentaries will always be considered
somewhat underground. Burris, a member of the Writers Guild of America and
a recipient of the ABC/Disney Writing Fellowship Program, has a take: Yes and
no; I mean, we are such a small population that I guess we will always be somewhat
underground just due to the content available. However, I do believe we will have
mainstreamfilms as the writing and acting improve and once we write, direct and
act in a movie that catches the American zeitgeist.
Myers NoiseCat pointed out that the Native Cinema Showcase is gaining popularity.
The event has outgrown its former venues and has graduated to the NewMexico
History Museums theater this year. Winners of all Class Xdivisions will be announced
on Thursday, August 17; afterward, the winning films will be screened at the museum
theater. There will also be an encore screening of these films at The Screen theater at
Santa Fe University of Art and Design after Indian Market.
Another addition to the showcase will be the 1491s comedy team, a group of Native
filmmakers and writers who are trying to change the image of the 21st century Native
through the Internet and in particular via YouTube videos. They will produce a showthat
includes their online videos and improvisation at Warehouse 21 on Saturday, August 18.
I think cinema is an amazing tool, remarked Burris, who won the Mark Silverman
Award for NewProducers fromthe Sundance Institute in 2007. Ultimately the question
What is Native cinema is what will be redefined to allowfor the greater integration into
the industry. Likewise, I think theres a style apparent among Native filmmakers that has
a specific voice that will find its place in the market and bring an audience looking for
something newaround to this particular style.

D
uring Indian Market, when a wandering circuit around the Plaza yields a feast for the eyes everywhere
you look theres pottery, painting, beadwork, jewelry, sculpture, and more it can be tempting to forget art
that isnt visual, namely, Native literature. But not paying attention to work by indigenous authors would
be a mistake. Across the country with a particular concentration in the Southwest Native writers are
producing a body of work thats innovative, fresh and, in the words of poet Janice Gould, flourishing. Right here in
Santa Fe, were fortunate to have a number of Native American artists whose mediumisnt paint or clay but words.
Gouldis Koyangkauwi (Concow) Maiduandthemost recent indigenous writer inresidenceat theSchool for Advanced
Research, a nonprofit foundedin1907tostudy the archaeology andethnography of the Southwest. Today, SARprovides
residencies for scholars and artists and, with the Lannan Foundation, launched the Indigenous Writer in Residence
Program in 2011. The residency takes place in January and February and culminates in a public presentation of the
authors work in conversation. This past February, Gould read her poetry and played music shes also a composer and
musician with her friend, fellowpoet and musician Joy Harjo (Muscogee/Creek).
It was a productive time for me, Gould said of her winter at SAR. Gould is a professor at the University of Colorado
at ColoradoSprings, wheresheteaches inthewomens andethnic studies departments. Gouldalsodevelopedtheschools
Native American Studies program. She describes her work as lyrical poetry, and her poems often explore personal
themes, such as love, identity and relationships, interwoven with the stories of Native people.
A prominent theme in Goulds work is simply being a California Indian, she said. People dont usually associate
California with Native people, but at one time, there were hundreds of languages and many different tribes. Its a sig-
nificant history that oftengets overlooked, andits always beenimportant tome tomake that history come alive, as well
as my own familys history and the history of mixed bloods. (Goulds father was Anglo.) Her poems are forthright and
specific as she unravels growing up half-Native and lesbian in California during the 1950s and 1960s. Her most recent
book, Doubters and Dreamers, was published in 2011 by the University of Arizona Press.
SARs first indigenous writer in residence, Santee Frazier, is also a poet. Frazier grewup in the Cherokee Nation of
Oklahoma and earned a bachelors degree in fine arts fromthe Institute of American Indian Arts in 2004. He went on
to receive his masters degree infine arts fromSyracuse University inNewYork, where he still resides. Two months is
relatively short, Frazier said, but my time [at SAR] was very productive, and the community, the archaeologists and
anthropologists wereveryhelpful. At theendof his residency, Frazier presentedhis workinconversationwithhis friend
David Treuer (Ojibwe), author of Native American Fiction: AUsers Manual.
Fraziers poetry is written frommemory, and much of it is about growing up in a Cherokee-speaking household or
his time living in NewMexico. Frazier said his work is often characterized as a documentary style of poetics, and his
poems dont romanticize the Native experience. The subject matter which includes poverty and violence is often
grim, but that aspect is countered by vivid, gorgeous descriptions of landscape and people.
I dont find my work to be Native in the sense that Imnot using specific words, which I call anthropological words
of study, but Im trying to create a larger world and experience for readers, he said. I feel my voice is Native enough,
even though Imnot using those words and identifiers.
BothFrazier andGouldare optimistic about the future of Native literature, andbothhadpraise for the University of

When I think of my mothers hands,
brown and square, fingers slightly bent
from years of work, I consider
all the other hands of Concow folk,
bound, prepared
for the lynching at the crooked oak
along the mountain road
near the town of Cherokee.
It stood not far from the meadows
where our ancestral people made their home.
This was in the time when white men
scoured those hills, breaking them
down into rubble in their crazy search
for gold. The treaty with the Concow
would not be ratified by Congress,
for Indians were in the way of progress,
and though a promise had been made
to provide corn starch and other commodities
to every man who made his X
on that scrap of parchment,
the only X the white men made
was to cross the hands of Indians
behind their backs before swinging them
out over the lava walls of the canyon.

ArizonaPress, whichalsorecentlypublishedFraziers collection, DarkThirty. Eachpoet acknowledgedNative writing
createdinthe70s and80s as animportant precursor for what theyredoing now. [Today] theres moreartistic freedom
to do what you want in Native lit, Frazier said. At first, I was pushed to do activist poetry, which fought for political
rights or being noticed. Natives are often self-conscious about being ignored. A lot of work came out of the red power
movement of the 70s, and as a result, I nowhave the luxury to do the work I want to do.
For readers who want to support indigenous writing beyond buying the books, which is a good first step Gould
advocates patronizing small presses, like that at the University of Arizona or West End Press in Albuquerque, which
often take chances on new, experimental work and writers.
Frazier, whos still active at Syracuse University, believes theres work to be done in academia. Even though there
are Native AmericanStudies programs and courses about Native lit, and as muchas it helps us to be noticed, its also in
some ways a prison, he saidof academia. People tendto believe that all Natives are a monolithic group. The labels and
distinctions [taught inschool] shouldnt be sogeneric. Native writers alsoincludes all folks whoare indigenous to this
hemisphere. [Academia] should avoid prefabricated notions of who we are.
Before and during Indian Market, people have many opportunities to engage with Native writers and their work.
Most of the markets literary events take place at CollectedWorks Bookstore, whichowner Dorothy Massey termedthe
literaryarm of IndianMarket. Theevents includebooksignings andpanel discussions withdiversewriters andartists.
Theres nothing more engaging thanseeing someone live infront of anaudience, Massey said. And the more we have

Manifestations: newnative art CritiCisM

museumof Contemporary native arts, 2012
InhIs essay OwnIngthe Image: IndIgenOus arts sInce 1990, included in Manifestations: New Native Art
Criticism, Mario A. Caro writes: While it is difficult to comprehensively assess writings on Indigenous art these come
frommany disciplines and are disseminated in numerous and radically different venues there has been a sharp increase
in the number of texts dealing with the subject, at least since 1990. And it is Indigenous scholars who are also artists that
have produced many of these texts. Caros words are representative of the idea behind Manifestations, a newbook about
contemporary Native art, produced by the Institute for American Indian Arts museum, the Museumof Contemporary
Native Arts, with the support of the Ford Foundation. Manifestations features the work of 60 indigenous artists and
21 indigenous writers.
The book is divided into two parts: The first section features four critical essays about the state of Native arts. In the
introductory essay, editor Nancy Marie Mithlourges readers toconsider Native arts inthe context of history andpost-colonial
politics, even as she states, We are not post-colonial. Later, Stephen Fadden and Stephen Wall consider the ways in which
U.S. government policy has impacted AmericanIndianart, both inthe past and inits continued legacy today. The four essays
that comprise the first half of Manifestations are heady, detailedand, for the most part, academic intone. The secondpart of the
bookoffers shorter pieces, as writers oftenartists themselves discuss contemporary Native artists working across media.
The short essays serve as a comprehensive, if brief, introductiontothe aesthetics andconcerns of eachartist. The secondhalf
of Manifestations is illustrated, offering representative pieces of eachartists work.
Throughout, Manifestations is anact of self-definition. The questionof identity rises to the surface againandagain, as the
voices inManifestations explore the infinite andevolving iterations of Native artists.
Manifestations is available at the museumof Contemporary native arts, 108 Cathedral Place. For information call (888) 922-4242.

Books onnative arts
Contemporary nativeameriCanartists showcases some of the best known and emerging Native artists
working today. The group, which features artists like Jody Naranjo (Santa Clara Pueblo, pottery) and Rhett Lynch
(Din, painting), was a result of artist Ken Lingads (Isleta Pueblo, musician) desire to unite Native artists across
media. For more than a year (2007-2008) the artists in the book
worked together on large-scale exhibitions. Though their collabora-
tionis no more, Contemporary Native AmericanArtists is a well-illus-
trated chronicle of each artists continuing individual work.
Deats descriptions of each artist are effusive, if necessarily
perfunctory. Her introductions do their best to encompass and
describe the work and process of the artists while highlighting
their major life events, career milestones, exhibitions and awards.
But the images are the real focus here, and Leakens photographs
feel truly revealing; they depict the artists exhibiting their work in
galleries or at Indian Market, in their studios and workspaces
inNaranjos case, firing pots outdoors at Santa Clara Pueblo inhigh
heels or are glossy, high-resolution images of the art itself.
Small details, like close-ups of paint-spattered brushes and clay-
encrusted carving tools, or a pegboard of Jemez Pueblo sculptor
Adrian Walls unceremoniously arranged drills and sanders lend an intimacy to
polished portraits and photographs of finished work. In certain cases, like the section on jeweler
Fritz J. Casuse, readers are invited to see a piece of the artistic process itself as Casuse heats pieces
of metal under a flame.
Photographer kitty Leaken and author Suzanne deats discuss Contemporary Native Artists at 4 p.m. on august
15 at Collected Works Bookstore 202 Galisteo St. (505-988-4226). they will be joined by several of the artists
featured in the book for a signing and question and answer session. Book sales benefit SWaIa.

Likemany Cartoonists, riCardoCat pokes fun at the
way people pursue their everyday lives cooking, cleaning, going
to school, watching TV, doing the laundry. But Cats characters
do more than that: They also make pottery, shoot arrows, and deal
with tourists and a U.S. Army officer who looks a lot like George
Armstrong Custer. Thats because Cats sometimes sly, some-
times sharp-edged humor is anchored in Native American expe-
rience, surroundings, and historybringing a unique perspective
to mainstreamnewspaper comics. His work has been published in
The Santa Fe NewMexican since 2006.
Cat who grewup onthe Santo Domingo (Kewa) Pueblo and lives and teaches there
nowis anequal-opportunity satirist, skewering white andredman(andwoman) alike.
Although he has noticed that non-Natives sometimes have a harder time understand-
ing some of his cartoons, he has been working to make his jokes more accessible to all
races. I like to think that this is a universal cartooninwhichthe characters just happen
to be Native, he writes in the introduction to his book. But that doesnt mean he waters
down his messages or shrinks fromexploring the painful or the poignant, along with the
just plain silly. Sometimes I get letters fromnon-Natives who have called me racist and
insensitive to Natives until they realize that I amNative myself, he continues. Non-
Natives often walk up to me and say, I didnt get the cartoon today, and I reply, Thats
OK; I dont get the cartoons inThe NewYorker either.
InCats world, clueless pilgrims andflag-planting Spaniards rub elbows withNatives
contending withcranky spouses andsmart phones, andreaders get to giggle, sigh, or laugh
out loud and maybe learna little something with each turnof the page.

Without reservations: the Cartoons of riCardoCat
By ricardo Cat Gibbs Smith, 2012
B
ruce Bernstein, Ph.D. scholar, curator, research fellow, arts administrator has been observing and con-
tributing to Santa Fe Indian Market for more than 30 years, first as a volunteer, then a board member, and
for the past five years as executive director of the Southwestern Association of Indian Arts (SWAIA), the
nonprofit organization that produces the annual event. Both Bernsteins academic interests and singular
personal vantage point come together in his long-awaited history of the market Santa Fe Indian Market: AHistory
of Native Arts andthe Marketplace, releasedthis monthby the Museumof NewMexico Press.
Anearly chapter is devoted to IndianMarkets beginning as IndianArt Fair in1922, conceived as part of Santa Fe
Fiesta by then Museumof NewMexico director Edgar Lee Hewett. An archaeologist and anthropologist by training,
Hewett began to encourage [Pueblo] potters to make pottery modeled on prehistoric and historic pieces that were
thought to represent anunsulliedor authentic culture, as determinedby cura-
tors and anthropologists to counterbalance the flood of Native artwork
being created to serve the tourist trade that arrived in NewMexico in
tandemwiththe railroad.
With his particularly deep knowledge of Pueblo pottery,
Bernstein has used historical photos, early journals, adver-
tising materials, letters, newspapers, and magazines to track
the making and selling of Native art over hundreds of years,
documenting the origins of efforts to help artists eliminate
the middlemen in curio shops and trading posts and to sell
their work directly to customers. Although the market has gone
through many permutations over the decades all documented
in this book many of the features we still associate with Indian
Market beganinthe early years: prize money, art classifications, crafts
demonstrations, clothing contests, and educational programs for both
artists and visitors all trace their origins to the early 1920s and the market
envisioned by Hewett and his associates.
More subtle than the procedural history of the development of Indian Market over time is the history of how
Native peoples were perceived and treated by those who would be their champions. Romanticized onthe one hand,
Natives who participated in the market were also placed in settings that resembled display cases and were not
allowed to stay intownduring the event. To Hewett and the others, Bernsteinwrites, the Pueblos were anexample
of a preindustrial society worthy of preservation for scientific study and tourist curiosity. [Hewett] had no trouble
telling Pueblo people howto be Indians because he believed the science of his archaeology provided himwith an
authority of purpose and knowledge. That purpose did not extend to allowing the Native artists he showcased to
use the bathrooms in his museum.
As he gets deeper into the early history of the market, Bernstein carefully records the changes he believes potters
Maria and JulianMartinez of SanIldefonso Pueblo whose work was sold at the very first IndianFair introduced
to the marketplace with their unique black-on-black pottery. The lustrous black pottery was a wholly newtype of
Native art Native fine art, Bernsteinwrites. Althoughseatedinthe traditions of southwesternpottery, the designs
and high-polished surfaces were not derived fromspecific Tewa potting traditions but rather were reformulated via
personal expression for the non-Indian market. The pottery reflected personal, creative ideas rather than a goal of
preserving tradition.
Bernstein makes a very thorough investigation of the changes in Indian Markets organizational structure from
its founding to its present-day incarnation. His research reveals that the groups that sponsored the market several
times came close toshutting the event downas it shiftedfroma sociopolitical posture toanarts focus. Createdin1959,
SWAIAhas presidedover the markets phenomenal change andgrowthwhile still incorporating many of the early goals
of its founders. As envisioned by Hewett and others, the market still serves as a major tourist attractionfor the city of
Santa Fe andcontributes to the economic success andinternational reputations of numerous Native artists.
If themes thread throughthe whole of Bernsteins book, they are these: that Native arts and artists transcend
ethnography tooccupy a place inthe worldof fine art; andthat the ongoing tensionbetweentraditionandinnovation,
persistence andchange, is at the heart of Native art andIndianMarket.
When Jeremy Fry, a Passamaquoddy basket maker won [Best of Show] in 2011, Bernstein writes, there was no
talkof whether his workwas tootraditional or contemporary. There was only admirationfor the strikingly made piece.

Phenomenal growth
In 1970 Indian Market was held under the portal of
the Palace of the Governors and along the north
and east sides of the plaza. All two hundred art-
ists who showed up on Saturday morning were
given booths. The following year, a row of booths
was added on the east side of the plaza, accom-
modating about five hundred artists. By 1980 the
market had grown to 330 booths in rows of three
on all four sides of the plaza. Fifty-nine new booths
were added along Lincoln Avenue in 1982. Fifty more
booths were added to Washington Avenue in 1991. By
1992 the market featured 537 booths and 1,043 artists,
with 300 more artists on a waiting list.
To accommodate more artists, from 1990 to 1995,
SWAIA set up forty-seven booths in the DeVargas
Center, a shopping mall less than two miles from the
plaza. A shuttle bus ran between the plaza and the
mall. Buyers quickly caught on that SWAIA was plac-
ing second-tier artists in DeVargas, however. Most of
those placed there were newto the market; many were
from nonsouthwestern tribes. While nearly one hun-
dred thousand people visited the booths on the plaza
each year, only eight thousand walked by the booths
at the mall. Afewartists dropped out or threatened to
drop out if they were assigned to DeVargas.
By the 2012 Indian Market, 650 booths ringed the
entire plaza and spread out down San Francisco Street
to the St. Francis Cathedral, along Palace Avenue
to Grant Avenue, down Old Santa Fe Trail to Water
Street, and north on Lincoln Avenue to Federal Place
a total of fourteen square city blocks. Since collec-
tors expect to find certain artists in certain spots year
after year, artists covet their booths and will do almost
anything to retain them. Those artists and families who
have been at the market for many decades tend to be
located in the most coveted spots near the plaza.

Native American Cuisine
Contemporary dishes containelements of the past
What is Native American cuisine?
I ask this question of my cooking students all the
time. Students froma variety of backgrounds raise
their hands: Corn, beans and squash or the Three
Sisters a student replies. Wild game, says another.
Foods fromthe land, including wild-harvested
foods, says a woman in the front of the class.
I point to several students in the roomand
ask again. What do you think Native American
cuisine is?
Fry bread, replies the first student. Indian
tacos, says the next person I point to. The third
person says that stews made with sheep or pork,
like the traditional red chile or green chile stews
found in the Southwest, are Native.
All are correct.
Native American cuisine includes food from
the distant past, thousands of years before Native
peoples had contact with non-Natives; it includes
foods that were brought to the Americas by the
first Europeans who came and stayed; and it
even includes foods distributed to tribes by the
U.S. government as Natives were moved onto
reservations.
To define Native American cuisine, we first have
to look at the historic Native food continuum.
Many millennia ago, Native peoples passed
cultural information fromone generation to the
next through the oral tradition of stories, histories,
legends and myths. The elders imprinted these
historical accounts on the youth. Where foods
were concerned, the women of each group were the
tribal historians, committing to memory a body of
past experiences and cultural traditions relating to
food and its uses, including howto find wild plants,
which plants were edible or useful as medicine,
plant names, howto prepare and preserve plants,
howto growand store themand howto prepare
wild game and fish.
Additional data fromanthropological,
ethnobotanical and archaeological accounts and
research fromscholars have also contributed to
our understanding of what Native people ate in
specific areas. Arecent analysis by academicians
Patricia L. Crown and W. Jeffrey Hurst of
ceramics fromPueblo Bonito the largest site
in Chaco Canyon in northwestern NewMexico
documented the presence of theobromine,
a marker for Theobroma cacao or chocolate.
This indicates that cacao was consumed in the
American Southwest around AD100 to 1125,
meaning that Native peoples had extensive trade
routes and that foods were traded and often shared
with other Natives fromfaraway regions.
Aboriginal appetizers
Many wild-harvested plants were and still are full
of nutrients. These foods provided essential ingredients
for a healthy and well-rounded diet. Agood example of
an abundant wild food that was once a vital part of the
ancestral Puebloan diet is purslane (Portulaca oleracea)
or verdolaga in Spanish. This plant is an extremely rich
source of omega-3 fatty acids and is high in vitamins A
and C. Its succulent stems and leaves are most commonly
boiled or sauted, eaten alone or in soups and stews,
but they can also be dried for use in winter. Its one of a
number of wild plants traditionally collected for food
and nowknown to have medicinal benefits in addition to
nutritional qualities.
I love purslane and harvest it whenever I see it.
Sometimes Ive bought it fromwomen at the Santa Fe
Farmers Market who still harvest it. Buying a wild-
harvested food helps to ensure that this food continues
to be available and that the knowledge surrounding it is
perpetuated. My favorite way to prepare and eat the green
is sauted in olive oil with garlic.
Purslane loves disturbed soil, comes with the summer
monsoon rains and is free for the picking. What could be
better?
The ancestral Native American diet in the pre-contact
Southwest and for that matter all over the Americas
was diverse and intricate. It included a multitude of
ingredients gathered fromthe areas where people lived
for local consumption or for trade with tribal groups
that didnt have access to them. These pre-contact foods,
many of which are still available, make up the bulk of
Native American cuisine.
Mealtime mingling
Here in the Southwest, the Spanish were the first
Europeans encountered by Native peoples. In the 1500s,
when the Spanish entered the region fromMexico, they
Din chef Walter Whitewaters masked Yei Bi Chei is made from American caviars, chopped egg, white onion and
parsley, and served with white and purple endive feathers.
brought foods and livestock fromtheir homelands
cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, wheat, peaches,
apricots, plums, cherries, melons, watermelon, apples
and the wine grape as well as chiles, tomatoes,
potatoes, prickly pears, epazote and other foods fromthe
tribes of Mesoamerica.
The Spanish also introduced the oven made
fromearthen bricks that we call the horno. This
newtechnology revolutionized Indian baking and
incorporated newingredients for making a variety of
breads. Oven bread made fromwheat was introduced to
the NewMexico pueblos, altering the corn-based diet of
Pueblo residents.
More crops, additional types of livestock, winter
vegetables and grains, fruits and nut trees and novel
cooking techniques were brought north fromcentral
Mexico. Newvarieties of wheat, barley, lentils, peas,
chickpeas, fava beans and melons emerged and became
distinctive to the Southwest. Asubstantial effort has
been made to keep these heritage foods vital here.
We call these first contact foods, meaning foods that
came initially with the Spanish. Basically the foods of the
Spanish settlers and the puebloans evolved at the same
time, with Native American foods being added to the
Spanish diet and Spanish foods being added to the Native
American diet.
Its also important to note that while newfoods came
to the Americas, foods fromthe Americas traveled back
to the Old World and changed diets there. Corn, beans,
squash, chiles, cacao, vanilla, potatoes and tomatoes,
which did not exist in the Old World before this
encounter, became infused into the cuisines of many
cultural groups. Try to imagine Italian food without the
tomato or Irish food without the potato. These foods
have been interwoven into the cuisines of those regions
the same way sheep have been woven into Din (Navajo)
culture and wheat oven bread into Pueblo culture.
These foods are nowa part of the Native American
cuisine of this region.
Rationrevolution
The last section of the food continuumfocuses on
the commodity foods issued to tribes when they were
forcibly relocated onto reservations or forced to move
away fromtheir ancestral homelands. Once this
concentration onto reservations took place, tribes lost
portions of their ancestral homelands, their hunting
grounds and in many cases their primary sources of wild
and cultivated foods.
The government-issued food rations originally
included beans, beef, lard, flour, coffee and sugar,
which were distributed twice a month. Later cheese,
egg mix, nonfat dry and evaporated milk, pasta, rice
and other grains and peanut butter were added. This
food distribution programled to one of the most
dramatic dietary changes in American Indian history.
The original intention of the U.S. government was to
supply rations as an interimsolution until dislocated
and relocated Native peoples could raise enough food of
their own. Instead, many Indian people froma variety
of communities all over the Southwest became totally
dependent on these rations.
As Native communities struggled to incorporate
these ingredients, they invented newdishes that
featured them. I call this era in Native American
cuisine the government issue period and this is
where fry bread and the Indian taco were born. These
two dishes can be found at almost every feast, powwow,
ceremonial and arts and crafts fair in Indian Country.
Fusionfare
Today, Native American cuisine encompasses all of
these periods. You can eat a contemporary Navajo
lamb-stuffed NewMexico green chile prepared by
chef Walter Whitewater (Din) of Red Mesa Cuisine
or buy homemade Pueblo oven bread baked in a horno
or a Pueblo fruit pie at the Santa Fe Farmers Market.
Or you can sample traditional blue corn mush (atole in
Spanish) or buy a piece Hopi piki bread made fromblue
cornmeal, culinary ash and water cooked on a hot stone
fromsome of the vendors at Santa Fe Indian Market.
While there is not a specific restaurant in Santa Fe
that offers all of these dishes, you can taste regional
specialties in some local restaurants. Amaya at the
Native American-owned Hotel Santa Fe serves a
bison burger at lunch and venison with quinoa for
dinner, as well as other Native American foods that
are woven together in a style that is both ancient and
contemporary.
Red Mesa Cuisine, a Native American catering
company, serves foods fromlocal and Native sources in
a variety of venues. Visitors and locals can also take a
Native American cooking class at the Santa Fe School
of Cooking. The Pueblo Harvest Caf and Bakery at
the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque
offers some Pueblo favorites as well as a Native fusion
cuisine inspired by the traditions and ingredients
cultivated by Puebloan ancestors.
Young Native American chefs are becoming
classically trained in the culinary arts and
finding jobs in tribally owned resorts, casinos and
restaurants where they can create foods that offer
a contemporary take on all three of these historical
food periods in Native American cuisine. Look for
the new Native American chefs as they materialize
in a variety of venues, and look for their cuisine to
become more visible.

Third-generation
Indian artist MArgArete BAgshAw
Breaks all the rules
Multigenerational families of
artists are common in traditional
American Indian art but are
rarely encountered in the world
of fine art. The merging of those
two worlds has produced a new
phenomenon.
It has basically been stated
and we havent found any proof
otherwise that we are the only
three generations of professional
female painters. Period. Not in
Native America, not in the United
States, but anywhere, said
Margarete Bagshaw. We cant
find anybody else documented
that does it by profession, thats
been featured in museumshows,
thats been publicized fromthat
perspective.
Bagshaw, the daughter of Helen
Hardin and the granddaughter of
Pablita Velarde, is featured at the
Museumof Indian Arts &Culture
this summer with an exhibit
called Margarete Bagshaw:
Breaking the Rules. Bagshaws
work reflects the innovation,
creativity, and technical
excellence that are earmarks of
her illustrious lineage.
Pablita Velarde (also known as Tse Tsan, or Golden Dawn) is widely recognized by
collectors and museums as one of the most accomplished American Indian artists of her
time. Anative of San Ildefonso Pueblo, she defied pueblo chairmen who pressured her to
adopt a more traditional role in life (summed up by some as beans, babies and bread).
At the Santa Fe Indian School, Velarde was the only female student in Dorothy Dunns
inaugural class at The Studio, which offered the first authorized art classes at any Indian
boarding school. At 16 years old, she painted a mural for the 1934 Chicago Worlds
Fair. During construction of Bandelier National Monument, she was a Works Progress
Administration artist in residence, painting over 70 images depicting puebloan life.
Velarde won every major award for Native artists several times over, including
first place at the Santa Fe Indian Market a dozen times. In 1953 she became the first
woman to receive the Grand Purchase Award at the Philbrook Museumof Arts Annual
Exhibition of Contemporary Indian Painting. The French government awarded her the
1954 Palmes Acadmiques for excellence in art. Her illustrated book, Old Father Story
Teller, was the first book published by a Pueblo Indian woman. Velarde painted until her
death in 2006.
Its pretty amazing, all of the things that she accomplished. Nothing was given to
her. She worked harder than anybody around her for anything she ever got, whether it
was awards or her honorary
doctorate. Whatever she
achieved, she achieved by
working. Nobody laid the red
carpet out for her, Bagshaw
said.
Helen Hardin (called Tsa-
sah-wee-eh, or Little Standing
Spruce) was the first Native
female painter to move from
traditional representational
painting to abstract works, part
of a vanguard that included
the likes of Fritz Scholder and
Michael Kabotie. Hardin won
almost as many awards as
her mother, including first or
second place (or both) at Indian
Market many times.
Hardin produced more than
3,500 paintings during her
brief career (she died of breast
cancer in 1983 at age 41). Her
works were highly prized in
NewYork and California and
sold out at embassy shows
in Bogot, Colombia, and in
Guatemala. The Smithsonian
Institution established the
Helen Hardin Performance
Theatre in her honor at the
Museumof Contemporary Native Art in Santa Fe.
She did with acrylics what nobody else has been able to do, ever. She was able
to achieve a really incredible brilliance with her paint. But also a real dimensional,
lacquered effect with her work, Bagshawsaid. Its really unfortunate that her
masterpieces are not on the market, because those are the screamers.
When Bagshawcontacts collectors to see if they are interested in selling one of
Hardins pieces, the response is, No. Imnot selling my Helens.
Breaking away
Bagshawhas inherited her mothers and grandmothers knack for engaging in
conversation as she works, and she like her mother is a self-taught artist. She did
not take up painting until 1990, when she was 26 years old. I was eight months pregnant
with my son, and it was just something I would get up and do that was quiet in the middle
of the night, Bagshawsaid.
Bagshaws first showing was at the NewMexico Arts &Crafts Fair. It was blind
juried, which was appealing to me, because then I wouldnt be admitted just based on my
family, Bagshawsaid.
Like her mother and grandmother before her, Bagshawhas faced criticismfor defying

Margarete Bagshaw
convention. She uses vibrant color in her complex,
dynamic images a mix of cubism, modernismand
transcendentalism. Aprominent figure in the Santa Fe art
world once told her she should paint in earth tones, the
colors of your people.
For somebody to try to stuff me in a little Indian hole
with my earth tones, I was appalled, Bagshawsaid. But
thats exactly what goes on in this world. If we dont paint
in a particular style that is suited for the color of our skin,
then its not acceptable. I think no matter who you are,
what race you were born in, you should be able to create
where your spirit takes you.
Bagshawdescribed her process for creating The Rain
Council, which started as a prayer for rain. I decided to
start out with a kind of washy background effect and just
get some wet feeling to it, Bagshawsaid. Next came
rainbows as her composition breakup. Then the figures
she calls the Rain Council started appearing, and finally
she chose the avanyu (water serpent) to express the
power of lightning.
Being able to express all of these things is what makes
painting exciting. I dont knowhowtheyre going to
turn out. I have no idea whats happening when I start
something. The only reason I knewthat this was going to
be a rain painting was that we needed rain.
Bagshawis amused by people who are looking for
some sort of profound, channeled communication from
some other universe thats telling me to paint these
beings. Imlike, no, this is a prayer for rain, Bagshaw
said. On the other hand, I have other paintings that are
tapped into a deep spiritual place for me, and theyre very
meditative.
All of my work is coming froma very central place
in my spirit, but its not anything that somebody else
couldnt understand if they just gave it some time,
Bagshawsays.
Viewers often experience a subliminal recognition as
they gaze at Bagshaws compositions. One piece in the
MIACexhibit, Self Portrait, was painted shortly after
Bagshaws divorce fromher first husband.
I was feeling very beat down emotionally, and I was
trying to find who I was on a big scale. I was basically
trying to revive my spirit again. So I decided to do it very
large and find out who I was, Bagshawsaid.
Awoman sawthe painting at the gallery and began
sobbing. Bagshawdiscovered the woman had recently
been through a divorce herself. Several women also burst
into tears upon viewing La Papessa, a painting based on
the story of Pope Joan.
Those are the reasons I paint. Imhoping that my
paintings will reach somebody elses spirit and give them
the same experience Imhaving, or something similar, and
let themknowthat theyre not alone, Bagshawsaid.

Pablita Velarde
Museumof Indian Women in the Arts
is Santa Fes newest offering
O
ne reason Margarete Bagshaw
opened Golden Dawn Gallery
was to educate people about
the contributions of her mother
(Helen Hardin) and grandmother
(Pablita Velarde).
Theres a whole generation nowof
people who have no idea of the signifi-
cance of these women in this world,
Bagshawsaid. My mother, alongside
her contemporaries, changed the
way Indian art is looked at, fromtra-
ditional to contemporary. She was
responsible for bringing it into the
contemporary art world.
People come in and look at my
grandmothers work and say, Why is
it so expensive? She was the first one
to do that. She invented that style of
painting. And why shouldnt she be
as respected as other painters in this
town who have their own museums?
Now, with the founding of the Pablita Velarde
Museumof Indian Women in the Arts, Bagshawand
her husband, Dan McGuinness, hope to expand the art
worlds horizons even further, to include all talented
American Indian women.
This is a museumthat will celebrate Native women
fromall over the North American continent, in all art
genres film, painting, writing, poetry, performance,
weaving, pottery, the you-name-its, Bagshawsaid. It
will celebrate the talents of all of these women. And
the reason we named it the Pablita Velarde Museumof
Indian Women in the Arts is because my grandmother
opened that door for women to be able to practice their
artwork as a profession.
Bagshawis following in her grandmothers footsteps
with this endeavor. Velarde was one of the
founders of the Indian Pueblo Cultural
Center in Albuquerque, which has
helped elevate awareness
about Puebloan
art. But Bagshawstill sees a gap to be filled. Native
women artists are so under-recognized. There is no
other institution that celebrates Native women and their
talents every single day of the year. Were relegated to
Native American Month or Womens History Month,
Bagshawsaid.
A Museum for the Generations
The museumplans to open this month in the former
administrative offices of the Cathedral Basilica of St.
Francis of Assisi. Fundraising continues toward purchas-
ing a building with enough space to include Velardes
actual studio, the Roxanne Swentzell Sculpture Garden,
a museumtheater for performance arts, a media center
and library, and ample space for permanent exhibits.
Any woman able to verify indigenous ancestry within
three generations is eligible to showat the museum.
Bagshawalso donated a significant collection of work by
Velarde and Hardin.
Although they have met some resistance to opening
another museumin Santa Fe, Bagshawand McGuinness
were gratified by the response they received when they
began fundraising a year ago. Weve had people waiting
details
the Pablita Velarde museumof indian Women
in the arts is located just south of the Cathedral
Basilica of St. Francis of assisi at 213 Cathedral Place.

for us inthe morning whenwe were
opening upto write us a check. Weve
hadpeople who are remembering us in
their estates, Bagshawsaid. Aretired
librarianfor the Library of Congress
wants to put the library together. Others
have volunteeredin-kindcontributions
suchas constructionwork, painting,
andtearing upworncarpets.
The 12 founding members of
the museuminclude prominent
members of the Native art world
such as Roxanne Swentzell and her
husband, TimStar; Jaune Quick-To-
See Smith; and Rick West, emeritus
founding director of the Smithsonian
Institutions National Museumof the
American Indian. NMAIs current
director, Kevin Gover, has also offered
support.
Bagshawherself donated 100 prints
of her work Womens World and 20 percent of her earn-
ings fromher Santa Fe Indian Market showlast year.
More than$100,000has beenraisedsofar. Bagshawesti-
mates that her teamwill have toraise between$6million
and$10millionfor the permanent museumthey envision.
Partners inEducationis serving as the fiscal spon-
sor (the nonprofit organizationincharge of all finances)
until the museumreceives its 501(c)(3) designation. The
museumwill have a heavy educational component,
including an outreach programto bring in schoolchildren
and an artist-in-residence program.
Bagshawbelieves that rather than detracting from
other museums and galleries, the museumwill serve
as another asset to attract people to Santa Fe. You go
to Washington, D.C., and you get to see maybe three or
four museums while youre there, Bagshawsaid. You
have to stay someplace. You have to eat someplace.
You have to rent a car or pay a taxi. It filters
money into the economy. So give
people a reason to come back.
