Hopi Potter
From the ashes of
a yellow house Nampeyo
paints migrations on
her living clay. And her
descendants paint that never-
ending change today.
~Son Rivers 2007
for information on photo see Potter (The North American Indian; v.12) page from Edward S. Curtis's The North American Indian: Photographic Images from Northwestern University, an amazing treat.

You seem to be a fan of Edward S. Curtis, so you will find the following to be of interest.
THE INDIAN PICTURE OPERA, a new film on the works of Curtis is a re-creation of a 1911 Curtis Slide show and lecture. The dvd can be searched out on CustomFlix.com .
This production goes way beyond the images themselves. It's a virtual vignette on E.S.Curtis's observations from a century ago.
The film probes the foundations of native American deitys, beiliefs, and the quest for food.
I'm sure you will enjoy!
Thanks for the info. I will definitely look that one up.
I love these pottery photographs AND the poems. :)
Aren't the photographs amazing! I'm afraid I'm hooked, and there'll be quite a few more.
