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 Sunday’s 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 we’re artist or collector, Native or nonNative, connoisseur or beginner, it’s 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 new work 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. A few years ago I asked some booth sitters — people who were camping overnight at an artist’s booth to purchase from her in the morning — why they didn’t just buy from a gallery or call the artist on the phone. It wouldn’t be the same, they said. Indian Market is about the opportunity to buy directly from the artist and they wouldn’t have it any other way! It might appear that Indian Market “just happens.” Market is in full bloom each 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 year’s 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 onethird of the cost of creating Indian Market. The Official SWAIA Indian Market Guide in your hand is a wonderful example of the partnerships that help create Indian Market. For many years, The Santa Fe New Mexican has been a trusted partner, from publishing winners’ names and booth locations to telling an insider’s story of artists and their work. The National Museum of the American Indian is our programming partner for the film festival that begins August 13, as well as the State of the Arts Symposium on Friday, August 17. Santa Fe University of Art and Design is another vigorous partner for the film festival, as well as a sponsor of Classification X, Indian Market’s 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 from southeastern Alaska. Other vital support this year comes from Indian Market’s 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. A special 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 — SWAIA thanks 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. Bruce Bernstein, Ph.D. Executive Director

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 — now in its 91st year — always has been (and always will be) the opportunity to buy authentic, handcrafted work directly from carefully vetted Native artists representing more than 150 tribes, nations and pueblos, those two days are now preceded by a weeklong schedule of activities that have nothing to do with art sales. “We’ve 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 SWAIA to 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 SWAIA and the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian — into a weeklong film and video festival (from August 13-19 this year). SWAIA’s inclusion of moving images as Classification X three years ago made film an official market art category, with awards in five subcategories, and it acknowledges that film is “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.” Stephen Wall (White Earth Chippewa) — an artist, chairman of Indigenous Liberal Studies at the Institute of American Indian Arts and vice chairman of the SWAIA board of directors — noted that there was some resistance to including film as an art category when the board first started talking about it. But film, he said, is an important, if different, outlet for younger Native artists. “And maybe it isn’t all that different,” Wall said. “We’re used to seeing paintings, and somebody starts telling the story of their painting, and that painting is like a snapshot of that story, one theme out of that whole story. I can make a sculpture and tell how that sculpture came about, the whole back story on that, but that’s still a freeze frame capturing a part of that story, whereas the film itself 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 film — and then what do you do with it? Having Classification X provides 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 on film is just one of the ways Indian Market now incorporates more events that bring out what Bernstein calls the narrative aspects of Native art. People may not realize it, he said, but “artwork is about narrative. An artist is telling you something about his or her life. Film is an easy way to see that, [but] pottery is along the continuum as well. What we want to do is get people more in tune with that narrative, hear more from artists about what their narratives may or may not mean to 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. New this 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,” Bernstein said, “is its diversity. In the middle of market you’ve got people who are absolutely communitybound in terms of where they do their artwork, keeping those culture-specific art forms very much alive. And then on the other end of the spectrum, maybe in the booth right next to that person, is somebody who has gone off to art school and is doing something that appears at first blush to have nothing to do with their own community.” Diversity is what fuels market’s growth — not in the number of artists included in the show but in the number of new types of art included under the Indian Market 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 show for five, 10, even 30 years. “So what you see in longevity,” Bernstein said, “is an artist’s 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 new art forms, new tribes and new programs to appeal to more diverse audiences and artists, it continues to honor its own history. SWAIA’s 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 don’t 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 from what has kept Native communities strong in New Mexico.” 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; it’s the first place where many people perhaps bought their first piece of Native art, and even if they’re not buying anymore, they come to renew those relationships. “This the annual gathering, [the time to renew] those relationships where you maybe see someone once a year. It’s the grand community family reunion.”

Indian Market visitors come from around 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 Saturday’s 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 new — a time for celebration, renewing old friendships, and making new friends. Events to help SWAIA meet Indian Market program expenses 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 momentum in 2000, when artists began working together to create large-scale collaborative artworks, making the live auction a more significant piece of the organization’s annual fundraising. The first collaborative donation, a concho belt organized by 1997 Best of Show artist Daniel “Sunshine” Reeves (Diné) in 2001, as “a way for artists to give back what Indian Market has given them over 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, gemencrusted butterfly necklace. The central collaborative piece to be auctioned off this year is a Friendship Necklace conceived by Reeves to commemorate the first collaborative donation by a group of artists in 2001. The piece, based on a traditional squash blossom necklace, is composed of 66 stamped silver beads made by Reeves; the clasp, the centerpiece, and the 10 attached pieces replacing the traditional squash blossom designs were created by 12 other
award-winning artists, who joined in the 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 Show winner 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 Show winner 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 year’s Best of Show Winner, Passamaquoddy basket maker Jeremy Frey, is donating a new basket to the live auction. The gala is an opportunity for artists, collectors, SWAIA staff, and visitors old and new to get together at an elegant party to celebrate this year’s market — and for attendees to secure the Santa Fe Indian Market tradition for another year with their bids. For SWAIA’s executive director Bruce Bernstein, the evening is not only a celebration of this year’s market. “It is the crucial fundraiser for the next year’s market, since booth fees represent less than 40 percent of what is needed,” he said. SWAIA board member Jenny Auger Maw, who is the Gala Committee chair for the third year, said that “last year’s gala was not as productive as prior years because artists had gone through several lean years and guests were not as inclined to spend as much as in prior years.” However, in spite of the economic downturn, last year’s attendees still bid generously and contributed $210,000 toward this year’s Indian Market. Maw anticipates that this year’s incredible artist donations will bring about a return of enthusiastic participation in both the silent and live auctions.
ThirTeen naTive jewelers give back To swaia — again 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.”
By Hana Crawford 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 SWAIA’s 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 Pruitt’s 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 Pruitt’s 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 cloisonné 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-ofa-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

Individually, they are recipients of highly selective Smithsonian Institution and SWAIA fellowships, and Best of Show and Best of Classification awards from the Santa Fe Indian Market. Their work is displayed in private collections and worldrenowned museums. See photos and a video of the one-ofa-kind Friendship Necklace on SWAIA’s auction page (www.santafeindianmarket. com).

2012 ind ian m ar k et
celebrate young artists By Dennis J. Carroll Children have always been a big part of Indian Market, often traveling many miles with their parents and helping them set up the booths and doing what they can to help sell artwork made by Mom and Dad. And sometimes they’re 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 children’s 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 market’s children’s activities for SWAIA. To that end, special children’s 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 Diné (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 program that 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. “It’s a great way to pass on knowledge that I have learned. It is only right to teach someone else how to do it,” said Dugi, who is known for his intricate bead embroidery and design of high-fashion evening-wear accessories such as purses. “Giving them direction is important.” Other artists participating in the mentoring program and the workshops and hands-on activities include Linda Lomahaftewa, a Hopi and Choctaw printmaker, painter and educator; Native filmmaker Chris Eyre (Cheyenne/Arapaho); and internationally acclaimed printmaker Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (Salish/Kootenai). In addition, Roy Boney, a Cherokee comic artist, computer animator and language preservationist, will conduct a free workshop August 17 for the public, educators and tribal leaders on using art and technology to save Native languages. For more information on the workshop and the time and place, call Dick at (918) 457-9234. Boney also conducts two free animation workshops on August 18 for children ages 13 to 18 at Carlos Gilbert Elementary School, 300 Griffin St., from noon to 2:15 p.m. and again from 2:30 to 4:45 p.m. Call Dick at the number above to register. Besides SWAIA, other in-kind sponsors of the children’s events and activities include the Cherokee Nation, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe Public Schools and the Santa Fe Fine Arts for Children and Teens (FACT) program. More information on the children’s event and activities is available on SWAIA’s Web site, swaia.org.

Potter powwow Pueblo artists discuss ways to sustain traditional art form By Ad ele M elAnd er-dAyton | p h otos By Kerry s cherK
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 from a 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 now I-40. We’d set up in wooden shacks and hold up pottery to the cars driving by, and we even had white flags to alert them that something was happening here.” She paused. “Times have changed.” Aragon is from Acoma 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 market’s 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 school’s focus has always been on contemporary art forms. Traditional pottery techniques have long been passed down through Pueblo families, but there’s 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 40

before ornamentation is added, which can include paints, slips and carvings. Then the pot is fired a final time. The process is necessarily slow and careful. Last year, SWAIA decided 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 how to keep pottery vital and relevant in the years to come. “The only time of the year potters get together is Indian Market, and they don’t 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, we’ve put together the Potter’s Education Fund. It’s intended to help single out potters that are working in traditional methods and to differentiate them from the other work that’s going on. … The discussion will also be about getting new markets and new collectors for potters. We want to grow the market and we want to interest people in pottery, so the educational portion is to help people understand what a unique art form this is. SWAIA will 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 Martinez’s development of black-on-black pottery in the 1920s, just as Indian Market (then called Indian Fair) was beginning. “Without that new style, 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 don’t think it’s the position of SWAIA to 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 that’s fraught with cultural, family and community values, and you don’t get that in a store.”

“We used to sit on the roadside of Highway 66, which is now I-40. We’d set up in wooden shacks and hold up pottery to the cars driving by, and we even had white flags to alert them that something was happening here.” She paused. “Times have changed.” —Wanda aragon
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 potter’s 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 mom taught me, from gathering the clay and cleaning it. It’s a lot of steps just to get the clay. Then, we’d go out and pick the pottery shards, soak them, clean them, pound them to 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.” Aragon’s 12-year-old grandson, Isaiah, likes to make figurines of horses with little boys on their backs. “I’m OK with Isaiah making contemporary shapes,” Aragon said. “I hope as he grows he’ll steer toward traditional shapes, but either way, it’s OK. It has to be what the artist likes.” Max Early, from Laguna 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 Early’s family, pottery skipped a generation: His grandmother made pots, but his mother didn’t. “There was something in me; I had to be a potter,” Early told his fellow artists. “There isn’t much desire in the youth,” Early said of recruiting new potters to learn the traditional methods. “I organized a class [at Laguna] but the students didn’t 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, who’s 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 I’ve never met before e-mailed me. I said, ‘Why are you e-mailing me? Come over and have a cup of coffee; we’ll go from there.’” 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 how he learned to mix clay from an experienced potter in Cochití. “He taught me that the right combination of clay, sand and water is essential,” Early explained. “You know it’s just right when you can roll the coils out to the diameter of a pencil and it doesn’t crack or break.” Potters differed on certain topics, like firing methods and how to 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
doesn’t always work. She makes storytellers, and fine details, like fingers, often crack or break during outdoor firing. In Cajero’s 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 isn’t traditionally fired, it’s up to the artist to say so or for SWAIA to evaluate the piece if it’s entered into market. Clarence Cruz of Ohkay Owingeh suggested that SWAIA could 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 pottery’s 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 grew up in Alaska and only recently returned full time to New Mexico. Ebelacker studies graphic design and film at IAIA. “IAIA tends to favor more modern stuff; contemporary pieces often win in shows,” she said. Many of her classmates don’t know how to make traditional pottery or are uninterested in it. “If my father hadn’t been interested in [traditional] pottery, I wouldn’t have learned [how to do it] any other way,” said Ebelacker. “I wouldn’t 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 I’m doing. “We need the tools and motivation to bring these traditions to young people,” Ebelacker said when she addressed the group. “At IAIA, we’re given the choice between studio art and new media. I’ll never forget pottery or where I come from, but we need a program where we could blend pottery and new media.” Ebelacker’s suggestions were broad, but she advocated that SWAIA might help to “bridge the gap between where kids are now and our traditions.” Making a life as a full-time potter isn’t an easy path. “The decline [of interest] is on both sides of the equation — the collectors’ side and the potters’ side,” Bernstein noted. “They’re symbiotic at this point. And the potters are under extraordinary financial pressure. They can’t fall back on farming as people once did; they’re potters full time. They don’t often have other occupations, so if those collectors go away, or the marketplace goes away, there aren’t 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 economy’s slow. I don’t want to give it up, because pottery is what keeps me going.” 201 2 I n dI a n ma r k et

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 Naranjo’s extended family is both a privilege and a responsibility. “I come from a 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. We’re all so different, we can’t 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 New Mexico College in Española) and her uncle Professor Tito Naranjo (Education and Social Work, now professor 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 mother’s 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 42

become a premier contemporary pottery artist. yet the slim, attractive artist doesn’t take herself too seriously. “I like to have fun, both in my life and with my work,” she said. “In fact, I’m starting to slow down a bit. Instead of working 12 hours a day, seven days a week, I’ll cut back to maybe six to eight hours five days a week. I’ve paid my dues and worked hard. In the past, I pushed so hard that I’m afraid I missed a lot, especially with my 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 mother’s 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; it’s my therapy. If I’m oK, everybody’s 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 from three different areas of the pueblo, spending an afternoon in each area collecting that specific kind of clay. The collection for a year’s 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 them long before the actual shaping. Some ideas come from dreams. Other times, I’ll make shapes for general purposes, and they [the pots] will tell me how to proceed. “The pot must dry, and when that’s 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 that’s done and the fire is put out, Jody, her mother, and her brother Eli — who’s also a potter — open the box and allow the 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 Naranjo’s 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 44
2012 ind ian m ar k et
paintings by fellow artists and friends Ryan Lee Smith (Cherokee) and Ryan Singer (Diné/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 don’t buy each other’s artwork,” Naranjo noted. “We trade pieces of our own for work by other artists whom we admire both as people and artists.” She added that she has acquired jewelry from Cody Sanderson (Diné), a fellow “night person” with whom she often talks by phone in the middle of the night, and clothing from Penny Singer (Diné), 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. It’s here that she creates award-winning pots from piles of clay, using a hand-propelled lazy Susan to build the pots from handprepared 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 room has 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 from March through December and does five or six commissions a year. Her
website, www.jodynaranjo.com, lists nine shows, starting with the Heard Museum’s 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, she’s 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 show at Blue Rain Gallery — these last two in Santa Fe. September brings the annual show at Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa. November takes her to the Southwest Museum of the American Indian, part of the Autry National Center, in Los Angeles. Two shows round out the year in December at the Smithsonian Institution’s Museum of the American Indian in New York 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 slow down, however. I can’t 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. Now I work on each pot individually. “Still, I never let anybody down. I’m consistent, and I’ve 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 “it’s such a big show ... and it’s 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 Museum of 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 show fun, but a local blues bar, the Slippery Noodle, and great shoeshopping 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 thrillseeking side through two motorcycles — 1950 and 1964 Harley-Davidsons. “I’ve loved motorcycles since I was a teenager and have owned at least one since then,” she said. Naranjo said there’s a new man in her
life. Actually, he’s an old boyfriend from Española Valley High School, with whom she reconnected last year when both were single. Chris Appleby is a contractor or in Santa Fe and has a daughter close to Coral’s age. “[Chris] likes me for who I am, and I like him the way he is,” Naranjo said. “We accept each other as we are. That’s the way it has to be for me — for both of us.”
market and the American art world. Pollack created a sterling silver pendant featuring Naranjo’s pottery designs on both sides. The initial distribution to approximately 80 potters took place June 2 at SWAIA’s Lifetime Achievement Allan Houser Legacy Award ceremony. The award and pendant were outgrowths of the organization’s 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 from deep inside communities, from the same center where religious ideas — the very understandings of who people are and how they 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. “[It’s] pretty cool ... to make pottery designs into wearable art, and I’d like to do more of it in collaboration,” she said. “I was honored and blessed to have this opportunity. “I’ve taken a long look at myself over the years and asked myself, ‘Who am I? What am I?’ “I am a potter. It’s what I do. It’s not who I am, although I do put a lot of myself into creating a pot and its design. What I am is a mother, daughter, sister, friend, artist. I know who I am. I like who I am.”
on the horizon A particularly 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

New mediums provide artists aveNues for CritiCal messages
Venutian Soldiers
Virgil Ortiz
By Staci Golar 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 it’s 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 from one of Cochití Pueblo’s pottery families, first drew attention in the art world for helping to revive the pueblo’s monos figures. The monos came about in the 1800s and represented the Cochití potters’ reaction to
48
2012 ind ian m ar k et
the influx of non-Native visitors to the pueblo. Made from clay, they mimicked the very people who loved to buy them, mocking everyone from traveling circus performers to tourists. While Ortiz used the monos like his ancestors did — as a mirror of the people and trends around him — he 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 New York fashion designers alike. A fateful meeting in 2002 solidified his designer status when New York fashion mogul Donna Karan noticed his work at the Santa Fe
Indian Market. She asked him to collaborate, and soon DKNY dresses 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 new one (like jewelry or interior design). He’s 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 experimentation is out of necessity. “I’ve done photography in the past and put it away but started back up when I needed a photographer for immediate fashion shots once my clothing line started to expand,” he said. “Now I do everything from selecting models to designing clothing to graphic design and, bang, there are next season’s designs and images.” The thread that unifies everything Ortiz touches is his interest in the 1680 Pueblo Revolt. “All of the mediums

I work with are coming full circle now and 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 medium is in my thought, I give it everything I’ve got.” Recent projects include participating in the Fondation Cartier’s Paris, France, show Histories 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 Ortiz’s work might now be 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 Cochití 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 don’t change my artistic integrity for anyone. I really feel I am not an artist but a conduit for the creator.”
Recycling: An ancient tradition Ask Kathy Whitman-Elk Woman what accounts for her long-term success as an artist and she’ll tell you it is being brave enough to follow her heart and spirit at the risk of all possible ridicule. One of the few female 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 new work from recycled materials. After discovering what’s behind Whitman-Elk Woman’s 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 medium about 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 didn’t know how or 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 from the aluminum cans so many of us drink from each day. “At first, it seemed people were taken aback and couldn’t understand the idea and the purpose,” she said. “Some people would laugh at the idea
201 2 I n dI a n ma r k et

shonto begay
and think it was crazy.” While she still creates the line of jewelry, it didn’t 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 Museum’s American Indian Arts Marketplace, she took Best of Sculpture for a 6-foot sculpture of a Native woman, also crafted from discarded 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 from recycled 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 how we 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 Diné artist Shonto Begay’s 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. From Navajo 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-term success as a painter because it’s either that or “going mad.” On a more tangible level, he acknowledges that hard work, visiting every art museum in every city he’s ever been in and being respectful of Navajo teachings have been crucial to his career path. “I’m also 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 him this 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 didn’t 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 didn’t want them to be interpreted in a totally narrative or dry, linear way. When I would reread them, I’d 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 Begay’s literary talents; he writes a regular column called “Letters from Home” for Flagstaff Live. In it he comments on everything from environmental 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 him to keep painting is also what keeps him writing — the dialogue with the audience. He acknowledges his work highlights a certain 50

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 tend to paint the way I write my words — externalizing pain and educating the public about our issues, but always instilling in my work nothing but the truth, the truth of what I grew up with and what I see now. I believe that painting and writing are very closely related and that artists who can channel both of these enthusiastically can’t lose.” What’s most important, Begay noted, is sharing the perception of his world from his 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.’”

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 new series 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 New Mexico, west Texas and western Oklahoma, the latter being my birthplace. “Since moving to Cochití Lake in 1989, I've driven that route — Santa Fe to Lawton, Oklahoma, headquarters of the Comanche Nation — what feels like a million times. In fact, it’s a natural trail for Comanches; our homeland begins in the sacred Wichita Mountains of southwestern Oklahoma and continues 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, New Mexico — were “trickling away,” as

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 Museum of 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 chief’s 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 him the 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. “I’ve wanted to record what was happening to the land for a long time, but I didn’t know how to approach it. Now I’m doing 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. “I’m using old wood also found in these buildings. These new pieces will be stories of old houses: … who lived there, what happened to them. All my work tells a story; that’s 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 from the new Quahada 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.

“When one’s identity is so thoroughly prescribed and overdetermined, it seems plausible that one might carve out a space in one’s 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.” Jo Ortel, Migrations: New Directions in Native American Art, University of New Mexico Press, 2006.

Abstract painter Ryan Lee Smith is defining his identity and his work on his own terms
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 from the backwoods — which was indeed an authentic part of his upbringing. So when he began art school at the University of New Orleans, 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 didn’t have a strong Native identity then. He didn’t grow up 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 how to draw. He had a variety of friends and didn’t dwell on culture much. Catfishing, cars, art and football were his passions. In college, spontaneity and the simple joy of creating art drove him to paint. He resisted any pressure to explain 54
2012 ind ian m ar k et
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 New Mexico’s Tamarind Institute, which lamented that “Indian artists have been largely ignored by the power brokers of the art world.” The Institute selected Smith’s 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 him to progress from an outsider in Native art to a trendsetter among fellow painters who are pushing the boundaries at Santa Fe Indian Market. He credits his growth to a detour that led him back 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 master’s 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 community’s trust and, side-by-side with tribal members, he organized a volunteer construction crew that built a nutrition center for the elderly. In the process, Smith connected with his heritage. Recently, he became a cultural specialist at the new Cherokee 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 SWAIA residency 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.

ndian Market 101
Days before Santa Fe Indian Market began last summer, Smith spotted fellow Cherokee 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, didn’t seem enthusiastic about Smith’s approach, but the painter offered to buy him a drink and tagged along with the group. Once the stories and beer started flowing, laughter replaced awkwardness. Studi caught sight of Smith’s new shoes — 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 Smith’s new Hollywood friends passed his shoe around, as if it were Cinderella’s 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 couldn’t sustain his confidence. He hadn’t won any ribbons. He called out to market-goers across the sidewalk to lure them to 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 returned to Santa Fe for SWAIA’s Winter Market, where, as part of his fellowship requirement, he painted live, in his sloppy everyday clothes. He didn’t sell enough work to break even, again chalking it up to paying his dues.

This March, at the Heard Museum Guild 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 medium that exemplifies innovation and the late artist’s 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 few thousand dollars. “It was the most dramatic painting in the room,” said Judith, a retired educator with a master’s 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 we’ve bought from a Native American artist that is totally abstract,” Judith Rothschild said, referring to Smith’s painting. “I think he’s a real talent coming up. And a very nice guy, too.”
u
psetting preconceived notions 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 ople are dying for something different.” Paintings of bears and other animals have been his bread-and-butter pieces — work that the average ve ge person can grasp. Although he’s painted abstracts since graduate school, he rarely showed these paintings because they might be harder for the audience to appreciate. That’s why getting recognition at the Indian markets has been a breakthrough — a “coming out” of sorts. “I think it’s time for us to compete with the art world itself, and not just this little niche of Native tive art, so I’m just 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 new category of painting at Indian Market in 1981, when Harry Fonseca and his suave coyotes “broke it open,” SWAIA deputy director John Torres-Nez said. However, the marketplace has been slow to 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 don’t expect to do that at Indian Market. “A lot 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 from the market, said Torres-Nez, who also teaches at the Institute of American Indian Arts, a 4-year degree program focused on contemporary art forms. These artists have gone straight to the gallery scene and nonNative art shows, he said, because they felt there was no “home” for them at Native shows. Only now is 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 from the Navajo Nation won Best of Show in both mediums. Galleries took notice. Today, “people like Sheldon and Ryan and a couple others are in Native shows, when you wouldn’t see them there before,” Torres-Nez said. Torres-Nez also pointed out a surprising new trend: 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 didn’t have before — brought on from the support of other artists he met over the past year, including Sheldon Harvey, and from patrons who snatched up his abstract works this spring. Native markets have given Smith a platform he wasn’t achieving on his own, and he likes the scene so well he’s likely to be a fixture in the Santa Fe and Phoenix markets for decades to come. “SWAIA has set the stage for me,” Smith said. “They’ve given me every tool I need to make it where I want to go, and I’m doing it.” His ambition, to earn a place in prestigious galleries that don’t give a hoot about a Certificate of Degree of Indian Blood, hasn’t changed since art school. “Ultimately, I want nt to be in New ew York rk City and be recognized for my art and not have to explain or rely on [my Native tive American identity] to sell my work,” he said. “I really want nt my work to speak for itself.” (Find Ryan Lee Smith at Indian Market Ma et booth No. 773 LIN-E.)

By Jean Kepler ross Indian Market is “always a homecoming,” said Waddie CrazyHorse of Cochití 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 grew up 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 father’s booth]. It’s 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 Millennium Scholarship. “I was very proud of this,” he said, “so I made a few Stanford ‘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 56
2012 ind ian m ar k et
Jade Bread
universities to become certified to produce their logos and expand his business. CrazyHorse now operates 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 am inspired to perpetuate the ‘old-timer’ techniques that have been passed down from my Grandpa Joe [Quintana] to my father,” he said. “It’s 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 grew up attending Indian Market, helping their mother, Jackie Bread, a bead artist from Montana. They first participated in Indian Market in 1999. “I was 8 that summer and I entered a large 16-by20 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 New Mexico 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 now a 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 am so connected to ledger drawing while I am so connected to a medium that 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 wouldn’t be [what it is] today if it wasn’t for my mother and everything that she has taught me. To see her build her life around something she loves is simply amazing. I’ve learned so much from the great stories my mom and 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 dad’s family. They are from New Mexico, so reconnecting with them during this time is cherished.”
Potter with pedigree Cavan Gonzales, a potter from San Ildefonso Pueblo, belongs to a very long line of Indian Market artists. “I’ve 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 Povi’ka 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 now works 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. “I’m always 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 snow cones at Woolworth’s. Now his wife, April, helps out at his market booth, and his older children, Charine, 16, and Tyler, 15, show their pots; they’ve both won youth ribbons at recent markets. His youngest child, Andrieta, 3, is next in line.
Tradition of helping Autumn Borts-Medlock is a fourth-generation Indian Market artist. She remembers working with clay as a child, along with her sister Tammy Garcia, her mother, Linda Cain, and her grandmother Mary Cain. She recalls seeing the awards that her grandmother won at Indian Market and walking down the hallway at her great-grandmother Christina Naranjo’s 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 grew up at Santa Clara Pueblo. “It seems that we were meant for it; the creative feeling just came naturally to us. My mom was also an essential role model, encouraging us to create our own designs from the 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 Grandmother’s avanyu design.” As young teenagers, Borts-Medlock, her sister and a cousin would help their elders unload supplies and pottery from their pickup and carry them to 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-Medlock’s family helps her set up her own Indian Market booth, then checks in to give her breaks. She’s hoping that her 7-year-old daughter Rochelle, a budding artist, will continue the tradition. 201 2 I n dI a n ma r k et

Ronald Chee: Authentic interpretations In 1993 Ronald Chee (Diné/Navajo) dropped out of college, where he had been studying business, to follow his 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 random on the subject at hand,” Chee said. “I like multiple-colored horses!” Chee did not grow up on the Navajo Nation, but he attends ceremonies and sweats with his father and relatives and interprets Diné 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 show the seasonal changes in the sky, having the mesa mountains across the midsection and having trees and plant life below the bottom half, sometimes adding a river or lake or many other objects as elements or spirits of the earth.” Chee’s work has been exhibited at the Institute of American Indian Arts in Santa Fe and the Southwest Museum of the American Indian, now a 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 film Scattering Dad and the hitchhiker picked up by Renée Zellweger’s character in My One and Only.

Walter BigBee: Hankering for horses Top, Shelden Nuñez-Velarde Walter BigBee Bottom, Wayland Namingha Jr.
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 drew upon 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 New Mexico to reconnect with his Comanche heritage and horses. The state — especially the Moorish influences brought here by the Spanish — reminded him in many ways of North Africa. He now lives 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. “It’s hanging on to who I am,” he said of his photography. “I live in my photographs.” (Find Walter BigBee at Indian Market Booth No. 121 POG)

Wayland Namingha Jr.: Painted prayers 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 katsinum — the plural of katsina — are “life bringers.” Namingha makes traditional-style katsina dolls, 8- to 10-inch long figures that depict the ceremonial katsinum and 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 from the 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 “from the time I was in diapers. There is 201 2 I n dI a n ma r k et
59
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 drew me 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. How the katsinum present themselves when they come is what I carve.” Namingha’s carvings have been honored with many awards, including first place and an honorable mention in Traditional Carvings at the 2012 Heard Museum Guild Fair and Market in Phoenix, Arizona.

Shelden NuñezVelarde: Man of many muses Shelden Nuñez-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. Nuñez-Velarde has won first- and secondplace 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, Nuñez-Velarde received permission from tribal 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. “From her guidance, I have learned basket weaving. I am very happy to have learned and added it [to the] Jicarilla arts [for which] I am known. “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 follow the strict code of basket
60
2012 ind ian m ar k et
making.” That code forbids weaving when there is a death in the tribe, and it requires the weaver to “make a trail from the center of the basket to the top of the basket [as] an exit for the spirit to leave.” Nuñez-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 tribe’s traditions with his art and his work at the Jicarilla Apache Arts and Crafts Museum. The tribe plans to establish a new museum, and Nuñez-Velarde will pursue a bachelor’s degree in museum studies in hopes of one day directing his nation’s heritage center.

Ian Fender: Pueblo pottery potential 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 year’s 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.

Raising the bar story By Arin McKennA photos By Kitty leAKen
When Jeremy Frey won Best of Show last year, he felt like he had been struck by lightning. The 32-year-old Frey had won Best of Show at the Heard Museum Indian Fair & Market in Phoenix, Arizona, earlier in the year. “I didn’t feel it was possible to win Best of Show at both shows in one year. I was really set to cheer for the artist who won. I didn’t think it would be me,” said Frey, an eighth-generation basket weaver. “I’ve never felt as if I could be as successful as I’ve been this year. I was just overwhelmed. I think a lot of my dreams came true this year, dreams I didn’t know I had.” Frey acknowledged the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance, an organization that helped revive Native basketry in Maine. “If it wasn’t for the group I’m in, this wouldn’t have happened, whether it was them motivating me or me trying to represent them, it’s all intertwined, it’s all woven together,” Frey said. Frey learned his art because of the alliance — his mother and teacher, Gal Frey, also learned through them — and 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 wouldn’t stay where I wanted them to, they kept exploding on me as I was trying to weave, and I’d 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 I’d introduce a new technique at every show. It always got people to come look at my work, because I was doing things they’d never seen. Being innovative is what got me a name in the beginning.” Frey’s award-winning piece — which stands 15 inches tall and has over 1,400 points — is also groundbreaking. “I’ve been trying to make a large fancy basket pretty much since I started. All of our large baskets are utility baskets. They’re roughly made, strong baskets that you can carry rocks around in. They’re beautiful in their own way, but they aren’t made to be these display pieces that we call fancy baskets,” Frey said. Frey’s efforts begin with finding a Black Ash tree, harvesting it and pounding the growth rings to separate them. “People need to know that we do not buy our materials — they’re made by hand by the artists,” Frey
said. “If I was buying my materials, I’d get what the person who prepared it gives me, and some people don’t 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 grew at the right rate. If it grew too fast, you can’t split it down to the right thickness. If it grew too slow, you can’t split it at all,” Frey said. “There have been days when I’ve 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, how I’m going to cut, then I’ll look at about a hundred trees before I find one. In a bad stand, I won’t cut any.” The intricacy of Frey’s Best of Show piece presented special challenges. “For the uprights, I have to find thick, straight-grained, wide pieces, and a lot of them, to get all the way around that basket. I think I sorted through hundreds of pieces just to find those. And then they’re all individually carved to take the shape of the basket.” Frey had to sort and shape material for the points as well. “There are thousands of individual pieces in that basket. Those points have to be really thin, really highquality material. And each piece is shaped deliberately for where it’s 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, everything’s sticking out everywhere, and it’s all curled together and tangled. When I first start, hours go by and I’ve 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 somebody’s whipping out forms to sell to every weaver in my community, chances are they’re going to be very similar. So I started making my own molds so that people wouldn’t have the same shapes I have.” Frey’s baskets are finished inside and out. “I’m looking at every conceivable angle, and it has to look good to me. It’s 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. “It’s going to kill ash basketry. Period. It’s going across the country and it’s killing every tree it touches,” Frey said. “No matter how good I get, I’m not going to have the material someday. It makes me really sad, because I am succeeding at something now, and it’s going to be taken away. It’s just another life lesson, I guess, that life throws curve balls at you and we just adapt and overcome.” 201 2 I n dI a n ma r k et

A Zen Aesthetic C las si fi Cati o n i i • p otte ry

Pushing creAtive boundAries 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. Pruitt’s award-winning silver belt buckle reflects that aesthetic. A central 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 few people 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 — bow in 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. Pruitt’s 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 him to 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. “It’s very honoring to know that people are starting to recognize the younger generation of artists like myself and Marcus Wall,” Pruitt said, “and seeing the skills we’re developing — not necessarily staying with traditional everything. Kind of thinking outside the box.”
Jody naranjo comes from a long line of famous Santa Clara potters. As she watched family members work, Naranjo said, she thought, “That’s going to be me. “You’re just always in awe of what someone is doing,” Naranjo said. “It makes you push yourself harder.” Naranjo pushes creative boundaries. “I crossed the line probably 20 years ago. I got a lot of weird looks, and a lot of hesitation from collectors. But I stuck with it, and it’s worked for me. I’ve kind of made my own style. I’ve incorporated a very traditional art form and a modern art form, and pushed pueblo pottery into a little more of today.” Traditional materials determine the character of Naranjo’s explorations. “I’m limited with what I can do with traditional pottery. I’m not using anything but what is passed down in my family,” Naranjo said. “So I’ve 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 from smothering pots with manure to oxidize them during firing. Naranjo’s 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 Naranjo’s imagination really soars when she carves and etches her pots. “I have carved anything from animals 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 that’s what keeps me interested. I just can’t imagine making the same pot over and over again all my life.” Naranjo’s award-winning piece, Finding Yourself, pushed even her own limits. Naranjo had been asking, “Who am I? What am I? Where do I fit?” and used clay the way other people use journaling to answer those questions. “I made that huge traditional pot with every kind of animal I’ve ever put on a pot — from the 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 shadow on the pot and etched his reflection on it. “He’s 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 calm came over me, and I said, ‘You know what he is? He’s 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 doesn’t matter because you’re just this deer.”

dyani reynolds-white hawk wanted to bridge the chasm dividing 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 didn’t 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 Hawk’s mixed heritage — Rosebud Sioux on her mother’s side and German/Welsh on her father’s 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 Hawk’s MFA thesis exhibit, which revolved around those issues. “It was just really a shock and a challenge to go from eight years of being immersed not only in the Native community, but especially in the Native academic community, where conversations and what’s taught has a very different focus than what’s taught at a mainstream university,” ReynoldsWhite Hawk said. “I had an extremely in-depth perspective of Native history and Native art history, and was fairly lacking in my knowledge of Western art history. It was challenging, because the perspectives are very different. And a lot of times it’s very conflicting.” Reynolds-White Hawk found common ground in abstraction. “A lot of Lakota philosophies and world views are visually displayed through abstract motifs, so Western abstraction was its counterpart.” The piece that appears to be inspired by minimalist abstract Taos painter Agnes Martin is actually an exact rendition of 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 titled it Master Study, really playing on the idea that at a major university you do these master studies, and all of the masters are Western artists. I wanted to do a master study that was taken from a Native perspective, to talk about masters beyond the Western definition of 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 form a window filled with blue sky and clouds. “This indicates the window that we look through, the fact that we all have our own personal perspective. How is it that you see the world? How does your experience determine what you see? It’s the negative space, but I wanted it to flop back and forth between the negative and positive space. It’s 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 from his father, Arthur Holmes Sr., and his uncle, Stetson Honyumptewa — last year’s Best of Show winner. 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 him from his 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 knew others 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 I’m still learning,” Holmes now lives 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 wife’s cattle. “It all starts from the 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 I’m carving, I’m always 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 flow right in once you start carving, and it takes the shape of itself,” Holmes said. “I say, whatever comes to you, that’s what they want, because you have that connection with the wood, with all different elements in life. That’s the way I do my carving — speaking to them and them speaking 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 greatgrandmother. She told me you shouldn’t 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 them to 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 didn’t even think I’d get a ribbon. I thought maybe it was a special award — that it wasn’t good enough to get into the category, but the judges liked it enough to acknowledge it somehow. When I saw what 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 naïve, he almost missed the award ceremony. “When they called to invite me to the luncheon, I said, ‘I’ll try to make it. I still have a lot of work to do.’ And they were like, ‘No, it’s in your best interest to come to lunch.’” Kathleen had to explain to him that the invitation was code for winning an award. Wall’s 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 from recycled clay. The entire piece is hollow. The chain links presented the most difficulty. “I owe a lot to my sister,” Wall said. “A lot 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 him to 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 didn’t 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 from wild spinach and a red-clay slip — and added coloration to the clay with smoke from the 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 child’s blanket. “I am a fifth generation Navajo weaver. My father worked at the Two Grey Hills Trading Post for 35 years. We’re kind of like the mob, because we were born into the weaving industry,” Teller-Pete said at the 2011 awards ceremony. “I’ve always woven Two Grey Hills. But after watching my niece and my nephew, I got inspired by how fearless they are in their weavings. So after last year’s Indian Market, I went home and I set up a period piece. I wanted to do a child’s blanket to honor older weavers.” Teller-Pete researched 19th century Navajo textiles at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. “But I just felt funny about copying and I didn’t really know how to 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 Diné (Navajo) people were imprisoned from 1863 to 1868. “We thought it was going to be a really sad place, but we discovered that it’s a place of strength,” Teller-Pete said. “We said, ‘How did they survive? How did they keep warm? How did they get food?’ A lot of them were weaving still, so you can naturally assume that they bartered for clothing and food with Navajo rugs. And, I thought, maybe that’s why a lot of them survived. Maybe that’s why a lot of them came back. “When I went home, I started thinking about the struggles that they had overcome. And I looked at my child’s blanket and said, ‘I don’t want to just do a period piece design. I want to put my own energy into it, and how I feel about that time period.’ And I wanted it to be a statement of strength. And that’s why I used a lot of different colors and made a bolder design than the classic child’s blanket,” Teller-Pete said. The result was a classic period design around the edges of the blanket, with Teller’s 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 Ornela’s 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 Show twice) for her help. “We refer to her as queen of the wool fairies in our family,” TellerPete 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 am I doing here? I need some advice.’ ” Teller-Pete enjoys the freedom of her new exploration and plans to continue. “With these pieces, it’s more abstract. It makes me think more creatively, and it’s like I don’t have any boundaries,” Teller-Pete said. “It was scary at first, but I really like it. I like the freedom of not knowing what I’m going to weave.”

Jamie Okuma began beadworking as a child — “I started powwow dancing 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 Show was in 2000. She received Best of Show again in 2002. The Northern Men’s Fancy War Dancer that won Best of Classification last year eluded Okuma for many years. “Since I started he’s 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 they’re 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 — he’s also somewhat modeled after a relative — he’s 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 stymied Okuma for so many years. “I try to, with every piece of the outfit, be correct in the materials, to use the specific materials for each of the dance styles,” Okuma said. “For the Fancy Dancing outfits, the men use flag tape [to form the fringe]. So, being correct, I wanted to do that, but it wasn’t working. So I had to find something comparable that mimicked the 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 from brain-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 it’s very, very delicate. It can’t really serve its purpose if it’s weak.” She instead manipulates fabric to recreate the original. Okuma invests an enormous amount of time and energy in every piece she creates. “It’s 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 awardwinning doll depicting a woman in traditional Sioux dress for her mother, Alice Running Bear. A herd 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 now because she passed away when I was 14 months old,” Growing Thunder Fogarty said. “I’m told 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 dealer’s 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 doll’s body is buckskin stuffed with cotton over a wire frame. She’s wearing dentalium shell earrings and has real hair, which Growing Thunder Fogarty purchases. Growing Thunder Fogarty — who has created more than 500 pieces and won Best of Show three times — had decided not to compete this year. “I entered because my kids and my grandkids wanted me to. I didn’t expect to win anything, but I’m truly 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. I’ll carry on my work as long as I’m able.” Growing Thunder Fogarty never knew her mother or her mother’s mother, but both were beadworkers, and she feels a connection to them through her work. “One of my grandmothers told me that my mother’s mother could really bead,” Growing Thunder Fogarty said. “One of the people who leases my land in Montana told me my grandmother made him a 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 Juanita’s daughter Jessica won the Youth Classification in 2006. She was also gratified when her son Jack joined the three of them at the kitchen table this year to work on a beaded gun case. “They’ve got to carry it on,” Growing Thunder Fogarty said. “Even my little teeny grandkids say, “I’m going to do beads, too. I’m going to make dolls.’ I’ll teach them when they’re ready.”

Bennie Klain, Navajo (Diné)
telling the human story Valerie Calabaza, 13, faced stiff competition last year. More than 600 youths under 17 entered Indian Market. Calabaza’s winning shell mosaic necklace and earring set was a remarkable piece of workmanship. Calabaza’s two primary teachers are her grandparents, Mary and Joseph Calabaza, who specialize in super-fine heishi. Both learned from their parents. The elders have taught all their grandchildren jewelry making. Valerie Calabaza started making bracelets when she was three or four. “I start them off early. Like this granddaughter here,” Mary Calabaza said, pointing to a nearby child. “She’s three and she’s helping us do the work.” As she teaches them to make jewelry, Mary Calabaza also teaches the children about their Santo Domingo culture and tradition. Valerie Calabaza’s 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 uniform surface. 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, it’s really frustrating, because the pieces break sometimes. And you just keep trying and trying,” Valerie Calabaza said. “Sometimes you don’t have a perfect shape, too, so you have to just keep working at it.” “I’m so 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, from how their ancestors had shaped heishi by hand, rolling it on sandstone — Valerie used contemporary grinders and polishers — to how more 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 am very honored and pleased and happy that she did that piece. She worked on it really hard from scratch.”

Bennie Klain, founding partner of TricksterFilms, has received numerous prestigious awards. Klain’s 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 Colorado’s 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 crew filming 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. “From that an opening scene emerges for me, and I build that one scene in editing. Then I just kind of go forth from there,” 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 whom he works. “I operate from an understanding that filmmaking is a collaborative process. What Klain’s collaborators have to say is not always easy to hear. Peterson and Klain’s 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 it’s a better film. I’m glad I have really opinionated editors who are able to tell me these things truthfully,” Klain said. One story that emerges in the film is 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 them Italian 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 Ludlow Massacre, 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 expectation of 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 from the 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 human story. That’s always been what I’ve worked toward.”
InnovatIon award
Pat Pruitt, Laguna Pueblo
Breaking the Code By Arin McKennA The piece that took last year’s Innovation Award — a stainless-steel concho belt designed by Pat Pruitt — gives new meaning to the term “functional art.” Not only is the belt wearable art, but each concho is engraved with a readable quick response (QR) code. QR codes, a type of barcode, are popular with smart phone users. A quick 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 QR codes and began researching them. When he found websites that would create QR codes free of charge, his imagination soared. “It occurred to me, you can literally tell a story. You can convey a message. It doesn’t have to be advertising. It doesn’t 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 phone’s 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 poem by Pruitt. It reads: A Fine Line. We respect our culture and tradition. The world revolves around us. It has been given to us to protect. This is the razor’s edge. We balance on this line. We run in both worlds. We speak without saying words. The ninth concho leads to Pruitt’s website, www. patpruitt.com. Pruitt has not created any more QR pieces, 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, how cool would it be to make a necklace with a bunch of little codes in the squash blossom format? What if all those little links were QR codes 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 Pruitt’s booth at 5 a.m. Saturday morning to be sure he could purchase it. Nussbaum is a professor of innovation and design at Parsons The New School for Design. “I brought the belt into my class and they all whipped out their smart phones and had a good time,” Nussbaum said. 2 01 2 I n dI a n ma r k et

2012 swaia fellowship winners fellowships pursue their passions

By Arin McKennA
Jackie Larson Bread
The SWAIA Fellowship Program was 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 year’s recipients is — as usual — outstanding. These working artists all expressed gratitude for the resources that allow them to pursue long-cherished goals.

Jackie Larson Bread taught herself beading by studying her deceased grandmother’s 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 from those pieces,” Larson Bread said. “And that’s something that I will always have. In the long run, it will make me be a better artist, and I’m really thankful for that.” She has no intention of recreating historical pieces. “I don’t like to just regurgitate Blackfeet traditional designs again and again. It’s been done by people who were better than me at it, and I don’t have any desire to do something that’s 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 them in a different way, present them in the way I’m seeing 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 it’s a technical challenge. And I’m always 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 twoneedle appliqué. “Technically, it is one of the most timeconsuming styles of beadwork, but you can do virtually anything with it,” she said. Asked how she 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 doesn’t matter how much time it’s going to take. I can wait for virtually days to see how this small area is going to turn out. And I don’t think that’s really patience. It’s 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 symbolism of 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 Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) in Washington, D.C., and Western abstract paintings in New York City’s 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. “You’re privy to information you just can’t get in printed sources. That’s why it’s so important to me to actually get out there and spend time with both Native historic works and Western works. “It’s a real gift to be able to conduct research that I’m really excited and passionate about,” Reynolds-White Hawk added. “You can sit around and mull on a great idea, but if you don’t have the ability to carry it through, then it’s just a great idea. So it’s not only the ability to get the access but the inspiration and productivity and new ideas that come out of that. That’s what excites me most. And I’m just beside-myself excited to get into the collections of the NMAI, too. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I can’t 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 (Diné) Shonto Begay hopes being away from the familiarity of his home in Flagstaff, Arizona, and free from the pressure to generate income allow him to fully engage in his work as an artist. “I want to take this time and space to create from a 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 him toward his artistic peak. “There are always many, many roads leading out of my artistic world, so I just need to find a more definite path,” he said. “Not necessarily the path of least resistance, but something adventurous that’s a good legacy.” Besides painting, Begay hopes to make progress toward completing his autobiography and do some other writing. “The paintings I do are pretty much autobiographical,” he said. “The landscapes I do, the people I do, wherever they come from, they all come from the same source. That’s 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 it’s something that goes with the gifts you’ve been given. You’ve been 74
2012 ind ian m ar k et
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.” Begay wants to encourage young people not to become “a manufacturer of products.” He said, “I want to remain genuine, and share the genuineness with young people, because they need that. They need somebody to tell them that you don’t need to paint within the line. You just need to paint as though you don’t need the money. Paint with nerves. “I think that would be a peak that all artists aspire to, to be an artist whose life mattered, whose having been, breathed, walked, created in this world mattered for centuries to come.”
Alex Joel Peña Cochití Pueblo/San Ildefonso Pueblo/Pawnee This is Alex Peña’s 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. Peña 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,” Peña said. “I vacillate between ideas, between techniques, between realism and 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 didn’t tap into it, then there was something wrong. So they kind of made it feel like it was my obligation to stick to that,” Peña 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 from something Native. I found a balance, eventually, in between. I’m not abandoning being Native, nor am I doing stereotypical Native work that some people would have liked me to do.” In his fellowship application, Peña wrote: “I consider myself an emerging contemporary artist with an American Indian background. … With my work I want to show that I have no obligation to create anything for anyone else because ‘I’m supposed 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. Peña is moved by SWAIA’s recognition. “It’s 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.
youth Fellows SWAIA believes 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 him how to use metalworking to create tools from found 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 from a repurposed shop vacuum powered 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 blew through a little tube into the fire,” Antonio said. “Then I designed a regular forge using a hair dryer. You can make them out of almost anything. It’s 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. “It’s pretty exciting. I don’t really know what to expect. I can’t wait.” Asked why metalworking won out over all the other arts, Antonio replied, “Because it’s really unique and hardly anyone else does it. You’re like the only one. And you can make most anything with the forge. I like that concept, to make your own stuff, and you don’t have to buy anything, because you have the skills.”
Amber Laughing Navajo (Diné) 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, it’s about … telling a story within the rugs. It’s more about how it connects within your life and how tradition has to be kept alive. That’s why it was important to me.” In 2010, at the age of 12, Laughing took first place, Best of Class and Best of Show awards at the Navajo Nation Fair in Window Rock, Arizona, and won first place in the Youth 3D Category 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 how the 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 can’t really sell them at art shows.” Laughing believes she will continue to weave “as a hobby” but does not see this as her career. As a freshman in high school, weaving has to compete with rigorous academic classes and her love of sports — basketball in particular. “Practice is two hours a day, and traveling out of town constantly for tournaments gets pretty hectic,” she said. “So there’s not a lot of time to weave, but when I do, I really try hard and try to put effort into my work.”

market It’s not just the art that draws people to Indian Market
By Inez Russell Gomez
PHoTos By JAne PHIllIPs
It’s 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 from the 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 threatening 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 isn’t over, but it is temporarily abated. 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, it’s one big event made up of the small moments that bring to life this gathering for both old-timers and newcomers every year. 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 from Colorado). The two men have known each other for more than 30 years. “Ben and I go back a long ways,” said Campbell, who doesn’t show at market anymore because too many folks wanted to discuss Medicare or Social Security once he went into politics. He’s still attending, though. “I like to go and see old friends; unfortunately, now, some are passing on.” Campbell, a jeweler and member of the Northern Cheyenne tribe, doesn’t miss his old job in Congress. “It’s so mean back there,” he said. “It’s angry. I’m happy being a grandpa. I was in this world long before I went into politics.” 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, pointed at my cane and said, ‘My mom made 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 mom and fellow artist, Sandra Okuma, is selling her beaded purses. Jamie (Luiseño/Shoshone-Bannock) is standing back from the booth, watching. She’s wearing slick, sparkling black tennis shoes and spidery black gloves, taking in the scene without speaking. A potential buyer wants to peek at the beaded Louboutins (high-end shoes) in the case. Another is trying on a bracelet. She always sells out of her exquisite beadwork. Next door, Holmes sits with his massive katsina on the table before him. It’s 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 father’s success but is more excited that he has just received his first phone. It’s only 7:02 a.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 showers below. It was chilly enough for Manuelita Coochvikvia (Hopi) to grab her son’s SpongeBob blanket and wrap herself in its warmth. Curtis Naseyowma, also a 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, through Abiquiú and Cuba. “It was storming and it was almost pitch black,” Curtis said. “It just lit up the mountains.” Right along the Plaza, on San Francisco Street, Joe V. Cajero is holding court. The Jemez Pueblo bow maker and potter is telling a customer, “I don’t know how many bows I’ve made. I’ve lost count.” The bows are of oak, black locust and salt cedar, with turkey feathers to guide the arrows along (culled from turkeys Cajero shot himself). He’s a crack shot with an arrow. “One time,” he said, “with my son, when he was 11 years old, I saw this turkey, and shot him through the eyes.” Just before market, Cajero competed in the national Senior Olympics, taking fourth place in his archery classification. “Being an Indian,” he said, “I have to be good.” The last booth on Lincoln Avenue — about as far from the Plaza as Indian Market gets — is where painter and sculptor

moments and former Best of Show winner Sheldon Harvey roosts. His wife, Tonya Jesus, is there, talking to customers, giving out prices and generally running the show. Nearby is Daisuki Uchi, a Japanese man in cowboy hat and boots who’s 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 business. “I got hit hard,” Harvey said. “It’s been about four months with me literally hustling and hustling. It was getting scary.” Harvey and several other artist friends pitched in for a glossy, two-page advertisement in last year’s issue of this magazine to bring in business. “It was Cody Sanderson’s idea. He said, ‘Why don’t we all pitch in for this cover? This will be a good marketing tool.’ It was fun.” Harvey, Sanderson, Jody Naranjo, Kenneth Johnson, Kathleen Wall and Tony Abeyta became the inside spread in the magazine with that ad (Goler Shoes provided the footwear). So cool were the shoes, he said, “We ended up buying them.”

Over at Cathedral Park, where the nonprofits reside during market, Sealaska Heritage Institute is gearing up to showcase the culture of the far Northwest. With artists, demonstrations, storytelling and dancing, it brings a different vibe to market, introducing another slice of Native life to the Southwest. It’s also the 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 and building permits intruded on the art. Sevastian Gurule, constituent services manager for the city of Santa Fe, is there with enforcer Barbara Lopez, who wants to know why sales are taking place at Cathedral Park. City ordinances, she said, limit sales at the park only to a few select shows — it’s part of a deal with the Archdiocese of Santa Fe that gave the land to the city — and Indian Market isn’t one of those selected shows. SWAIA honcho Bruce Bernstein is all smiles as the discus-
sion goes on. “We’ve had merchandise sales here for four to five years,” he said of the SWAIA booth that is sharing the nonprofit space with Sealaska and others. Sealaska Heritage officer Lee Kadinger reminds everyone that artists at the cathedral are selling through the nonprofit, not as individuals. Not only that, officials from Sealaska met with Mayor David Coss back in June to work all this out. It was approved, he maintained. Gurule said his staff is bending over backward to make 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 nonprofits can keep selling. Despite the difficulties last year — every Indian Market artist must obtain a city business permit, which necessitates 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 midmorning Saturday. “They’re doing a great job in handling a huge workload,” Bernstein said. “In an event like this, there is always something that can happen. This is 14 city blocks. Ultimately, we both want Indian Market, its history and its tradition to shine.” 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 — “it’s a sculpture for the corner of your home,” one customer remarked — the young women set off en masse to spread light and color around the 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 handles and hand-painted fabrics — came from a love of T.C. Cannon’s 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 won’t 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 to create the magic that sets Indian Market apart. We’ll all be back again this year to see what the 2012 market brings, whether a famous designer (Tom Ford) judging the Clothing Competition on Sunday, or a surprise winner at the Best of Show Ceremony on Friday — or best of all, a simple conversation with an artist who shares his inspiration and story. 2 01 2 I n dI a n ma r k et

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 it’s the things you can’t see but feel — the energy and effort put into each piece of clothing — that creates a winning style,” said Santa Fe native Tom Ford, a noted fashion designer and award-winning film director 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 new contemporary 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 them with 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 we’re talking about traditional or contemporary design.” Williams had created a JapaneseBrent Brokeshoulder

inspired kimono for her daughter-in-law Naomi 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 wasn’t sure how to do it, however, so I prayed on it for a year and then, at the Heard show [in Phoenix] in March [2011], I saw a kimono featuring buffalos. After that, I had a dream in which I saw the buffalo running east … to greet the day, as the Creator would have them. “I’ve been sewing forever, but such visions had never come before. The kimono I designed tells our story in a way people today will understand and appreciate,” 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. “She’s a blessing to us and a joy as well. The outfit is a Plains design and construction; it’s 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.” Ford said he was “quite taken with both winning outfits. This was a family affair. You could see the shared vision.” 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 them both 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 we’re not walking around in buckskin and fringe, mimicking the stereotype in dress and art form, we’re 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, Cochití 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 from each 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.” Diné designer Penny Singer is another Native artist who pushes the boundaries of fashion while remaining true to her cultural roots. She draws inspiration from traditional 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 powwow look.” Virginia Yazzie Ballenger (Diné) and Kathy WhitmanElk 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.”

Dual passions fuel
Adrian Wall’s
artistic Vision By Megan KaMericK photos By Kerry shercK
Adrian Wall was surrounded by artists growing up on Jemez Pueblo. His mother was a potter, his father a silversmith. His sister, Kathleen Wall, launched her own career in pottery as a teenager. But it was a trip to Jemez artist Cliff Fragua’s 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. “It’s 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 him a 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 from fellow 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 how it fits together and see what my role is,” he said. Now 41, 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 1 04

Springs of Guisewa, which they hope to remix and release next year. It’s a mix of traditional music with reggae and other influences. “We’re bringing Native music into a more contemporary context,” he said, and that includes his flute music. “That’s 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, CEO of Silver Bullet Productions, has used Wall’s 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.” Wall’s art reflects that sensibility as well. He has usually drawn inspiration from Pueblo 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 it’s Polynesian and reggae, but his tastes run the gamut. “My iPod is pretty intense,” he said. “My all-time favorite band is Fishbone. They’re just amazing. I think Red Earth really modeled themselves after them.” Wall also organized jam sessions at the Institute for American Indian Arts, where he is pursuing a bachelor’s degree, and eventually started a music club at the school. He will play at IAIA’s Vital Strides event at the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts on August 19. The event is a fundraiser for the school’s Associated Student Government. It includes art demonstrations and a silent auction and runs from 10 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. “I’m starting to make more art for myself. I’m trying 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. “I’ve 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.”

Native art is thriving in a new phase of its evolution — By Harlan McKosato

“What’s a more perfect opportunity than opening for market and allowing this form of 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 art to be in front of so many? I think it’s absolutely vital to continue to allow a venue to screen films by Native artists, and there’s nothing more apt than Indian Market for that.” we consider all its diverse forms, we rarely think of Native art on the movie screen. Myers NoiseCat explained that SWAIA and NMAI entered into a partnership four Over the past dozen years, through the Native Cinema Showcase at Santa Fe Indian Market, the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts and the Smithsonian Institution’s years ago, making cinema an official category at Indian Market — Classification X: A Moving Images awards category, more commonly known simply as Class X. National Museum of the American Indian have made tremendous strides in making Native filmmaking a central component of the Native art world. Why Class X? “Through the years we have seen Native art evolve and progress,” said Jhane Myers “Prior to film being added to the juried art form there were nine classifications of art NoiseCat (Comanche/Blackfeet), coordinator of the 12th Annual Native Cinema at Indian Market,” said Myers NoiseCat, an accomplished and award-winning artist.

The animation category “The showcase is a tremendous experience for filmmakers and audiences,” said film includes 2-D or 3-D films in which the rapid display of still images creates the illusion producer Chad Burris (Chickasaw), founder of the New Mexico-based Indion Group of movement.

Judd said, “I do make a very conscious effort to try to use the produced such films as Barking Water by Sterlin Harjo (Seminole/ language when I can in a modern setting.

[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 mainstream films 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 New Mexico History Museum’s theater this year. Winners of all Class X divisions 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 show that 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 New Producers from the Sundance Institute in 2007. “Ultimately the question ‘What is Native cinema’ is what will be redefined to allow for the greater integration into the industry. Likewise, I think there’s 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 new around to this particular style.” 1 06

They are a gaggle of Indians full of cynicism and splashed with a good dose of indigenous satire. They coined the term ‘all my relations’ and are still waiting for the royalties. They were at Custer’s last stand. They mooned Chris Columbus when he landed. They invented bubble gum. The 1491s teach young women how to be strong. And they teach young men how to seduce these strong women.”

Literature offers another medium for native expression
By adeLe meLander-dayton
Tribal HisTory By Janice Gould (Koyangk’auwi [Concow] Maidu) When I think of my mother’s hands, brown and square, fingers slightly bent from years of work, I consider all the other hands of Concow folk,
D
uring Indian Market, when a wandering circuit around the Plaza yields a feast for the eyes — everywhere you look there’s pottery, painting, beadwork, jewelry, sculpture, and more — it can be tempting to forget art that isn’t 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 that’s innovative, fresh and, in the words of poet Janice Gould, “flourishing.” Right here in Santa Fe, we’re fortunate to have a number of Native American artists whose medium isn’t paint or clay but words. Gould is Koyangk’auwi (Concow) Maidu and the most recent indigenous writer in residence at the School for Advanced Research, a nonprofit founded in 1907 to study the archaeology and ethnography of the Southwest. Today, SAR provides 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 author’s work in conversation. This past February, Gould read her poetry and played music — she’s also a composer and musician — with her friend, fellow poet 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 Colorado Springs, where she teaches in the women’s and ethnic studies departments. Gould also developed the school’s 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 Gould’s work is “simply being a California Indian,” she said. “People don’t usually associate California with Native people, but at one time, there were hundreds of languages and many different tribes. It’s a significant history that often gets overlooked, and it’s always been important to me to make that history come alive, as well as my own family’s history and the history of mixed bloods.” (Gould’s 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. SAR’s first indigenous writer in residence, Santee Frazier, is also a poet. Frazier grew up in the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma and earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the Institute of American Indian Arts in 2004. He went on to receive his master’s degree in fine arts from Syracuse University in New York, 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 were very helpful.” At the end of his residency, Frazier presented his work in conversation with his friend David Treuer (Ojibwe), author of Native American Fiction: A User’s Manual. Frazier’s poetry is written “from memory,” and much of it is about growing up in a Cherokee-speaking household or his time living in New Mexico. Frazier said his work is often characterized as a “documentary style of poetics,” and his poems don’t 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 don’t find my work to be Native in the sense that I’m not using specific words, which I call ‘anthropological words of study,’ but I’m trying to create a larger world and experience for readers,” he said. “I feel my voice is Native enough, even though I’m not using those words and identifiers.” Both Frazier and Gould are optimistic about the future of Native literature, and both had praise for the University of

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. – From Doubters and Dreamers, University of Arizona Press, 2011
Across the country — with a particular concentration in the Southwest — Native writers are producing a body of work that’s innovative, fresh and, in the words of poet Janice Gould, “flourishing.”
Arizona Press, which also recently published Frazier’s collection, Dark Thirty. Each poet acknowledged Native writing created in the ’70s and ’80s as an important precursor for what they’re doing now. “[Today] there’s more artistic 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 now have 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, who’s still active at Syracuse University, believes there’s work to be done in academia. “Even though there are Native American Studies programs and courses about Native lit, and as much as it helps us to be noticed, it’s also in some ways a prison,” he said of academia. “People tend to believe that all Natives are a monolithic group. The labels and distinctions [taught in school] shouldn’t be so generic. ‘Native writers’ also includes all folks who are 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 market’s literary events take place at Collected Works Bookstore, which owner Dorothy Massey termed the “literary arm” of Indian Market. The events include book signings and panel discussions with diverse writers and artists. “There’s nothing more engaging than seeing someone live in front of an audience,” Massey said. “And the more we have a chance to interact with poets and authors of all ethnic backgrounds, the better our understanding and appreciation of the work they’re producing.” Earlier this year, Joseph Marshall III, Sicangu Lakota (Rosebud Sioux), read at Collected Works from his latest book, The Lakota Way of Strength and Courage: Lessons in Resilience From the Bow and Arrow. “[Marshall] is a deeply religious and cultural man,” Massey said. “To hear him speak about his grandfather, it comes across in a dimension that really enhances reading his books.”

Manifestations: new native art CritiCisM edited by nancy marie mithlo Forward by Patsy Phillips museum of Contemporary native arts, 2012
Preface by Will Wilson
In hIs essay “OwnIng the 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 from many 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.” Caro’s words are representative of the idea behind Manifestations, a new book about contemporary Native art, produced by the Institute for American Indian Art’s museum, the Museum of 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 Mithlo urges readers to consider Native arts in the context of history and post-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 American Indian art, both in the past and in its continued legacy today. The four essays that comprise the first half of Manifestations are heady, detailed and, for the most part, academic in tone. The second part of the book offers shorter pieces, as writers — often artists themselves — discuss contemporary Native artists working across media. The short essays serve as a comprehensive, if brief, introduction to the aesthetics and concerns of each artist. The second half of Manifestations is illustrated, offering representative pieces of each artist’s work. Throughout, Manifestations is an act of self-definition. The question of identity rises to the surface again and again, as the voices in Manifestations explore the infinite and evolving iterations of Native artists. Manifestations is available at the museum of Contemporary native arts, 108 Cathedral Place. For information call (888) 922-4242. 1 12

Contemporary native ameriCan artists By Suzanne deats, photographs by kitty Leaken Gibbs Smith, 2012 Contemporary native ameriCan artists 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 (Diné, painting), was a result of artist Ken Lingad’s (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 collaboration is no more, Contemporary Native American Artists is a well-illustrated chronicle of each artist’s 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 Leaken’s photographs feel truly revealing; they depict the artists exhibiting their work in galleries or at Indian Market, in their studios and workspaces — in Naranjo’s case, firing pots outdoors at Santa Clara Pueblo in high heels — or are glossy, high-resolution images of the art itself. Small details, like close-ups of paint-spattered brushes and clayencrusted carving tools, or a pegboard of Jemez Pueblo sculptor Adrian Wall’s 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.

Without reservations: the Cartoons of riCardo Caté By ricardo Caté
Gibbs Smith, 2012
Like many Cartoonists, riCardo Caté pokes fun at the
way people pursue their everyday lives — cooking, cleaning, going to school, watching TV, doing the laundry. But Caté’s 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. That’s because Caté’s sometimes sly, sometimes sharp-edged humor is anchored in Native American experience, surroundings, and history—bringing a unique perspective to mainstream newspaper comics. His work has been published in The Santa Fe New Mexican since 2006. Caté — who grew up on the Santo Domingo (Kewa) Pueblo and lives and teaches there now — is an equal-opportunity satirist, skewering white and red man (and woman) alike. Although he has noticed that non-Natives sometimes have a harder time understanding 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 cartoon in which the characters just happen to be Native,” he writes in the introduction to his book. But that doesn’t mean he waters down his messages or shrinks from exploring the painful or the poignant, along with the just plain silly. “Sometimes I get letters from non-Natives who have called me racist and insensitive to Natives until they realize that I am Native myself,” he continues. “NonNatives often walk up to me and say, ‘I didn’t get the cartoon today,’ and I reply, ‘That’s OK; I don’t get the cartoons in The New Yorker either.’” In Caté’s world, clueless pilgrims and flag-planting Spaniards rub elbows with Natives contending with cranky spouses and smart phones, and readers get to giggle, sigh, or laugh out loud — and maybe learn a little something — with each turn of the page. native humorist ricardo Caté discusses and signs copies of Without Reservations at 1 p.m. aug. 16 at the Wheelwright museum of the american Indian, 704 Camino Lejo.

NiNety-oNe years and coun t i n G
Indian Market then and now By Patricia West-Barker
B
ruce Bernstein, Ph.D. — scholar, curator, research fellow, arts administrator — has been observing and contributing 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 Bernstein’s academic interests and singular personal vantage point come together in his long-awaited history of the market — Santa Fe Indian Market: A History of Native Arts and the Marketplace, released this month by the Museum of New Mexico Press. An early chapter is devoted to Indian Market’s beginning as Indian Art Fair in 1922, conceived as part of Santa Fe Fiesta by then Museum of New Mexico 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 an unsullied or authentic culture, as determined by curators and anthropologists” to counterbalance the flood of Native artwork work being created to serve the tourist trade that arrived in New Mexico xico in tandem with the railroad. With his particularly deep knowledge of Pueblo pottery, Bernstein has used historical photos, early journals, advertising 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 began in the early years: prize money, art classifications, crafts afts demonstrations, clothing contests, and educational programs forr 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 on the one hand, Natives who participated in the market were also “placed in settings that resembled display cases” and were not allowed to stay in town during the event. “To Hewett and the others,” Bernstein writes, “the Pueblos were an example of a preindustrial society worthy of preservation for scientific study and tourist curiosity. [Hewett] had no trouble telling Pueblo people ‘how to be Indians’ because he believed the science of his archaeology provided him with 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 Julian Martinez of San Ildefonso Pueblo — whose work was sold at the very first Indian Fair — introduced to the marketplace with their unique black-on-black pottery. “The lustrous black pottery was a wholly new type of Native art — Native fine art,” Bernstein writes. “Although seated in the traditions of southwestern pottery, the designs and high-polished surfaces were not derived from specific 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 Market’s organizational structure from its founding to its present-day incarnation. His research reveals that the groups that sponsored the market several times came close to shutting the event down as it shifted from a sociopolitical posture to an arts focus. Created in 1959, SWAIA has presided over the market’s phenomenal change and growth while still incorporating many of the early goals of its founders. As envisioned by Hewett and others, the market still serves as a major tourist attraction for the city of Santa Fe and contributes to the economic success and international reputations of numerous Native artists. If themes thread through the whole of Bernstein’s book, they are these: that Native arts — and artists — transcend ethnography to occupy a place in the world of fine art; and that the ongoing tension between tradition and innovation, persistence and change, is at the heart of Native art — and Indian Market. “When Jeremy Fry, a Passamaquoddy basket maker won [Best of Show] in 2011,” Bernstein writes, “there was no talk of whether his work was too traditional or contemporary. There was only admiration for the strikingly made piece.” — Barbara Walzer contributed to this story.
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 artists who showed up on Saturday morning were gi n booths. The following year, a row of booths given was added on the east side of the plaza, accommodating 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 placing second-tier artists in DeVargas, however. Most of those placed there were new to the market; many were from nonsouthwestern tribes. While nearly one hundred thousand people visited the booths on the plaza each year, only eight thousand walked by the booths at the mall. A few artists 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 collectors 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 contain elements of the past story and photos by Lois eLLen Frank
“What is Native American cuisine?” I ask this question of my cooking students all the time. Students from a variety of backgrounds raise their hands: Corn, beans and squash — or the Three Sisters — a student replies. Wild game, says another. Foods from the land, including wild-harvested foods, says a woman in the front of the class. I point to several students in the room and 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 from one 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 how to find wild plants, which plants were edible or useful as medicine, plant names, how to prepare and preserve plants, how to grow and store them and how to prepare wild game and fish. Additional data from anthropological, ethnobotanical and archaeological accounts and research from scholars have also contributed to our understanding of what Native people ate in specific areas. A recent analysis by academicians Patricia L. Crown and W. Jeffrey Hurst of ceramics from Pueblo Bonito — the largest site in Chaco Canyon in northwestern New Mexico — documented the presence of theobromine, a marker for Theobroma cacao or chocolate. This indicates that cacao was consumed in the American Southwest around AD 100 to 1125, meaning that Native peoples had extensive trade routes and that foods were traded and often shared with other Natives from faraway 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. A good 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 sautéed, eaten alone or in soups and stews, but they can also be dried for use in winter. It’s one of a number of wild plants traditionally collected for food and now known to have medicinal benefits in addition to nutritional qualities. I love purslane and harvest it whenever I see it. Sometimes I’ve bought it from women at the Santa Fe Farmers Market who still harvest it. Buying a wildharvested 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 sautéed 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 from the areas where people lived for local consumption or for trade with tribal groups that didn’t 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 from Mexico, they
brought foods and livestock from their 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 from the tribes of Mesoamerica. The Spanish also introduced the oven made from earthen bricks that we call the horno. This new technology revolutionized Indian baking and incorporated new ingredients for making a variety of breads. Oven bread made from wheat was introduced to the New Mexico 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 from central Mexico. New varieties of wheat, barley, lentils, peas, chickpeas, fava beans and melons emerged and became distinctive to the Southwest. A substantial 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. It’s also important to note that while new foods came to the Americas, foods from the 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 Diné (Navajo) culture and wheat oven bread into Pueblo culture. These foods are now a part of the Native American cuisine of this region.
of communities all over the Southwest became totally dependent on these rations. As Native communities struggled to incorporate these ingredients, they invented new dishes 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.
Fusion fare Today, Native American cuisine encompasses all of these periods. You can eat a contemporary Navajo lamb-stuffed New Mexico green chile prepared by chef Walter Whitewater (Diné) 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 from blue cornmeal, culinary ash and water cooked on a hot stone from some 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 from local 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 Café 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.
native american cooking classes Lois Ellen Frank (Kiowa/Sephardic), chef/owner of Red Mesa Cuisine, is teaching two hands-on Native American cooking classes at her Eldorado test kitchen with chef de cuisine Walter Whitewater (Diné) featuring ancestral foods with a modern twist. The first is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday, August 19; the second is from 10. a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, August 25. Each class is limited to 12 students and costs $95 plus tax. To reserve a space, call 505-466-6306. A deposit will hold your reservation.
Ration revolution The last section of the food continuum focuses on the commodity foods issued to tribes when they were forcibly relocated onto reservations or forced to move away from their 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 program led 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 interim solution until dislocated and relocated Native peoples could raise enough food of their own. Instead, many Indian people from a variety

Breaks all the rules By Ar i n McKe n n A
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 haven’t 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 can’t find anybody else documented that does it by profession, that’s been featured in museum shows, that’s been publicized from that perspective.” Bagshaw, the daughter of Helen Hardin and the granddaughter of Pablita Velarde, is featured at the Museum of Indian Arts & Culture this summer with an exhibit called Margarete Bagshaw: Breaking the Rules. Bagshaw’s work reflects the innovation, La Papessa, 2012. Oil on Belgian Linen (48” x 60”) creativity, and technical Margarete Bagshaw 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. A native 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 Dunn’s 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 World’s 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 Museum of Art’s Annual Exhibition of Contemporary Indian Painting. The French government awarded her the 1954 Palmes Académiques 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. “It’s 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 1 18

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 Tsasah-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 New York and California and sold out at embassy shows in Bogotá, Colombia, and in Guatemala. The Smithsonian Institution established the Helen Hardin Performance Theatre in her honor at the Museum of 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,” Bagshaw said. “It’s really unfortunate that her masterpieces are not on the market, because those are the screamers.” When Bagshaw contacts collectors to see if they are interested in selling one of Hardin’s pieces, the response is, “No. I’m not selling my Helens.”
Breaking away Bagshaw has inherited her mother’s and grandmother’s 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,” Bagshaw said. Bagshaw’s first showing was at the New Mexico Arts & Crafts Fair. “It was blind juried, which was appealing to me, because then I wouldn’t be admitted just based on my family,” Bagshaw said. Like her mother and grandmother before her, Bagshaw has faced criticism for defying
convention. She uses vibrant color in her complex, dynamic images — a mix of cubism, modernism and transcendentalism. A prominent 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,” Bagshaw said. “But that’s exactly what goes on in this world. If we don’t paint in a particular style that is suited for the color of our skin, then it’s 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.” Bagshaw described 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,” Bagshaw said. 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 don’t know how they’re going to turn out. I have no idea what’s happening when I start something. The only reason I knew that this was going to be a rain painting was that we needed rain.” Bagshaw is amused by people who are “looking for some sort of profound, channeled communication from some other universe that’s telling me to paint these beings. I’m like, 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 they’re very meditative.” “All of my work is coming from a very central place in my spirit, but it’s not anything that somebody else couldn’t understand if they just gave it some time,” Bagshaw says. Viewers often experience a subliminal recognition as they gaze at Bagshaw’s compositions. One piece in the MIAC exhibit, Self Portrait, was painted shortly after Bagshaw’s divorce from her 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,” Bagshaw said. A woman saw the painting at the gallery and began sobbing. Bagshaw discovered 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. I’m hoping that my paintings will reach somebody else’s spirit and give them the same experience I’m having, or something similar, and let them know that they’re not alone,” Bagshaw said.

Pablita Velarde Museum of Indian Women in the Arts is Santa Fe’s 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). “There’s a whole generation now of people who have no idea of the significance of these women in this world,” Bagshaw said. “My mother, alongside her contemporaries, changed the way Indian art is looked at, from traditional to contemporary. She was responsible for bringing it into the contemporary art world. “People come in and look at my grandmother’s work and say, ‘Why is it so expensive?’ She was the first one to do that. She invented that style of painting. And why shouldn’t she be as respected as other painters in this town who have their own museums?” Now, with the founding of the Pablita Velarde Museum of Indian Women in the Arts, Bagshaw and her husband, Dan McGuinness, hope to expand the art world’s horizons even further, to include all talented American Indian women. “This is a museum that will celebrate Native women from all over the North American continent, in all art genres — film, painting, writing, poetry, performance, weaving, pottery, the you-name-its,” Bagshaw said. “It will celebrate the talents of all of these women. And the reason we named it the Pablita Velarde Museum of Indian Women in the Arts is because my grandmother opened that door for women to be able to practice their artwork as a profession.” Bagshaw is following in her grandmother’s 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 Bagshaw still 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. We’re relegated to Native American Month or Women’s History Month,” Bagshaw said.
A Museum for the Generations
The museum plans to open this month in the former administrative offices of the Cathedral Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi. Fundraising continues toward purchasing a building with enough space to include Velarde’s actual studio, the Roxanne Swentzell Sculpture Garden, a museum theater 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 show at the museum. Bagshaw also donated a significant collection of work by Velarde and Hardin. Although they have met some resistance to opening another museum in Santa Fe, Bagshaw and McGuinness were gratified by the response they received when they began fundraising a year ago. “We’ve had people waiting
for us in the morning when we were opening up to write us a check. We’ve had people who are remembering us in their estates,” Bagshaw said. A retired librarian for the Library of Congress wants to put the library together. Others have volunteered in-kind contributions such as construction work, painting, and tearing up worn carpets. The 12 founding members of the museum include prominent members of the Native art world such as Roxanne Swentzell and her husband, Tim Star; Jaune Quick-ToSee Smith; and Rick West, emeritus founding director of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of the American Indian. NMAI’s current director, Kevin Gover, has also offered support. Bagshaw herself donated 100 prints of her work Women’s World and 20 percent of her earnings from her Santa Fe Indian Market show last year. More than $100,000 has been raised so far. Bagshaw estimates that her team will have to raise between $6 million and $10 million for the permanent museum they envision. Partners in Education is serving as the fiscal sponsor (the nonprofit organization in charge of all finances) until the museum receives its 501(c)(3) designation. The museum will have a heavy educational component, including an outreach program to bring in schoolchildren and an artist-in-residence program. Bagshaw believes that rather than detracting from other museums and galleries, the museum will 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 you’re there,” Bagshaw said. “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.”
