This
seed jar was made by Dextra Quotskuyva (coat-SKWEE-va), a great-grandaughter
of the famous Hopi-Tewa potter Nampeyo. Quotskuyva lives and works in
northern Arizona, at Kykotsmovi (kee-COAT-smo-vee), a Hopi village found
at the farthest reaches of the lands of the pueblos. The Pueblo people
are Native Americans of diverse backgrounds and languages who live in
more than thirty villages stretching from Taos, New Mexico, to northern
Arizona.
