 Nampeyo of Hano is primarily known as (The Old Lady) Nampeyo
|
|
|
The village of Hano on Arizona's First Mesa was established around 1700
by Tewa refugees fleeing from Spanish oppression in New Mexico. Even
though they learned many of the Hopi ways and intermarried into that
Nation, the Tewa maintained their own speech and ceremonial practices.
They became known as the Hopi-Tewa. In 1860, Nampeyo of Hano was born to
a Tewa mother and a Hopi father, and thus began a life that would gain
fame and honor as a master potter of her people.
