Dextra Quotskuyva Nampeyo

Hopi-Tewa, 1928-2019
BiographyDextra Quotskuyva Nampeyo was born September 7, 1928 to Rachel and Emerson Namingha in the village of Polacca, Arizona, located at the base of Hopi First Mesa. She is a Native American potter and artist. She is the great-granddaughter of famed Hopi-Tewa potter Nampeyo (1860–1942), who revived Sikyátki style pottery at Hopi and the daughter of Rachel Namingha (1903-1985), another notable Hopi-Tewa potter. There are now five generations of Nampeyo family potters, and Dextra Quotskuyva is arguably the best potter and painter of this extraordinarily talented family.
