Helen Naha (1922-1993) was the first Featherwoman. She was a daughter-in-law to Paqua Naha (First Frogwoman) and sister-in-law to Joy Navasie (Second Frogwoman). Between Helen and Paqua, two modern dynasties in the Hopi pottery world were born. Helen’s son Burel, daughters Rainy and Sylvia and granddaughter Tyra are recognized potters on their own.
More About the ArtistHopi-Tewa pottery is created on the Hopi Reservation which is located in northeastern Arizona. It is an area that is surrounded by the Navajo Reservation. Hopi consists of three Mesas, each of which has several villages. The Hopi-Tewa people speak the Tewa language and are primarily located in First Mesa in the villages of Hano and Polacca. They are descendants of the Tewa-speaking Pueblo people of New Mexico who came to the Mesa around the time of the Pueblo Revolt in 1680.
