More About the Artist

Pueblo

In the Tewa language, spoken by the people of the Nambe Pueblo, the word Nambe means “People of the Round Earth.”

Weaving is being revived in the production of kilts and cotton belts. Pottery too is once again being made in black on black and white on red designs similar to the work of the Taos and Picuris Pueblo Potters, however, the principal occupation of the Nambe people is farming, with some outside employment at Los Alamos.
