Meet the Anasazi People Click on the Kokopelli to begin your journey. Listen for details about who the Anasazi people were. Where did they live? When did they live? What made their homes unique? What happened to the people of that culture?

Who were the Anasazi? Their tribes evolved from nomadic to sedentary They are the ancestors of the modern- day Pueblo Indians.

Location of the Anasazi They lived in an area called the FOUR CORNERS where the states of Arizona, Utah, New Mexico and Colorado come together.

Anasazi history Archaeologists identified the Anasazi culture through artifacts found in the ancient dwellings The earliest traces of the Anasazi were discovered to be from year 1 A.D. to 1300 A.D

Anasazi Villages The Anasazi created what Archeologists refer to as “Kivas”. Kivas are communal, above ground buildings that belonged to an individual families or entire clans Used for Religious Ceremonies

Pictographs Pictures of Sun/Moon Animals Hunting

Anasazi Pottery Archeologists found SHARDS (pieces) of pottery while digging in Mesa Verde

Anasazi Designs Pottery was made by women. Designs were passed down from mother to daughter.

Southwest Indian Pottery Pueblo communities of the American Southwest created regional pottery styles over time as individual potters integrated traditions from the past with their own innovations. There are four important pueblo styles & potters noted in this presentation: Acoma-Lucy Lewis, San Ildefonso-Maria Martinez, Hopi-Nampeyo, & Santa Clara- Sara Fina Tafoya.

Lucy Lewis – Acoma Pueblo (1897-1992)

The Acoma settlement of "Sky City" is the oldest continuously-inhabited city in the U.S.

Lucy Lewis is regarded as the matriarch of Acoma pottery She started making pottery at the turn of the 20th century, continuing a tradition dating back hundreds of years. Lucy dug & prepared her own clay & used the coil technique. Lucy got inspiration for her designs -- painted on with colored slips -- from shards found in the sacred Kivas of the pueblo & Anasazi and Mimbres pottery she studied in the Museum of New Mexico. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally.

Ancient examples of traditional Acoma pottery Ancient examples of traditional Acoma pottery. It can take up to 80 hours to make a piece.

Lucy Lewis was one of Acoma's greatest innovators…… She nevertheless always adhered to traditional Acoma materials and methods of pottery making. In the 1950s, Lucy began to incorporate Mimbres designs of the past to help develop her own unique expression. Here she replicates the heartline deer characteristic of the Zuni Pueblo.

Lucy Lewis She ultimately became known for her "star-burst" pattern, which consisted of fine black lines on a white background created by using the needle-point of the yucca plant as a paint brush.

Many of Lucy Lewis’ pots look very modern in their design Lightning Seed Jar Acoma pottery is distinctive for its complexity and craftsmanship

San Ildefonso Pueblo Maria Martinez’ Home 1887-1980

As Maria and Juln developed Maria Martinez Maria examined traditional San Ildefonso Pueblo pottery styles & techniques to create pieces which reflect her people’s legacy of fine artwork & crafts.

Steps in making a pot: Digging & preparing the clay Forming a pot, using a “ pukis” (supporting mold) where a round bottom of a new piece may be formed, creating the base of the pot Scraping with a gourd rib in criss- crossing motions to smooth out the wall of the pot Sanding the dried pot to remove surface irregularities Applying iron-bearing slip & burnishing it to a high sheen with a smooth river stone Decorating the pot with another slip Firing the pot

The Firing Process When the fire has reached its maximum heat it is smothered with ash or fresh manure, producing a smoke- filled oxygen-reducing atmosphere that turns the pots black. Variations in the process can produce pottery with black areas and red areas, which are also popular.   

Maria Martinez As Maria & husband Julian developed their new Black on Black Style-- & as the building of the railroad advanced with more people vacationing-- San Ildefonso Pueblo pottery craft exploded in popularity & in sales.

Maria’s Accomplishments The true legend behind Blackware Pottery is Maria Martinez herself. Maria won many awards and presented her pottery at many World Fairs. She received the initial grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to fund a Martinez pottery workshop in 1973. Maria passed on her knowledge and skill to many others including her family, women in the pueblo, & students.

Nampeyo 1856-1942 Nampeyo is given credit for starting the revival of Hopi pottery, the so-called "Sikyatki Revival”, influenced by designs from not only prehistoric & historic Hopi, but by cultures other than Hopi. In a sense, she revived Hopi pottery; but since her work differs greatly from that of the Sikyatki periods, she is credited with the birth of contemporary Hopi pottery, now called Hano Polychrome. Without Nampeyo, Hopi pottery may have been only an art form of the past. Her descendants continue the legacy of Nampeyo by adapting her designs to their own work and interpretations.

Three designs that they claim to belong to the Corn Clan are: the Eagle Feathers design, the Migration Design and the Spider Design.

Sara Fina Tafoya Sara was the leading potter in Santa Clara, master of large and small utilitarian forms, mainly in black. Some of her storage ollas were 30 inches in their largest dimension. She & her daughter Margaret began to incise (carve) designs into their pots. This is the innovation that they are known for. 1904-2001 Sara Fina Tafoya Margaret Tafoya
