Fannie Nampeyo Hopi Indian Pot

Lot # 156 (Sale Order: 156 of 1057)      

5 3/8" round, 2 7/8" tall. Fannie Polacca Nampeyo (1904 - 1987) was active/lived in Arizona. Fannie Nampeyo is known for Tewa Indian motif pottery vessels. Fannie Nampeyo...more (Popong Mana, c. 1900-1987) Fannie was Nampeyo's youngest daughter and arguably the most talented potter among her offspring but also the least compatible with her mother. Her life spanned the lion's share of the 20th century, and she remained a prolific artist almost to the time of her death. In addition to emulating her mother's ceramic virtuosity, Fannie inherited Nampeyo's role as matriarch of the Corn Clan—a vitally important and time-consuming ceremonial position. Fannie was rebellious, and bucking tradition and mores, married her cousin, Vinton Polacca, son of Tom Polacca, who was the brother of Nampeyo, Fannie's mother. Instead of adhering to Hopi ways, they raised their seven corn clan children as Mormans, a group who through Tom Polacca made fairly successful inroads at the Hopi Reservation. Fannie began making pottery in her early 20s, teaming up with her mother by painting the pots that the near-blind Nampeyo was still able to expertly form. She continued to assist Nampeyo until the latter's death while building her own reputation as a solo artist. According to biographer Mary Ellen Blair, Fannie signed Nampeyo's name to early collaborative pieces and then switched to "Nampeyo Fan-nie." The signature "Fannie Nampeyo" appears on pots she made alone. Although never an entrant at Indian Market, Fannie did participate in the Museum of Northern Arizona's Hopi Craftsman Exhibition, winning a blue ribbon in 1961. As with many artists, Fannie held other jobs and interests throughout her life. She started out as a teen working for Hopi House in the housekeeping department. A tamale business made her famous in the environs of Keams Canyon. She became a devout Mormon and devoted much time to religious affairs as well as to learning Mormon crafts such as quilting. In addition, she inspired and taught all of her children—daughters Elva, Tonita, Iris, and Leah as well as sons Harold, Ellsworth, and Tom—to continue the Nampeyo legacy of pottery making.

Emily Smith Cherokee Indian Market Basket

Lot # 174 (Sale Order: 174 of 1057)      

17" by 16 5/8" by 11 5/8". Emily Smith makes white oak baskets and honeysuckle baskets with materials gathered from the woods and dyed with natural dyes. She can demonstr...moreate basketry, or she can teach small group hands-on workshops. She enjoys working with students of any age, up to and including senior citizens. Groups should include no more than fifteen students. Born and raised on Indian Creek, Emily Smith has lived on the Qualla Boundary all of her life. She attended day school at the Big Cove School, and eventually earned her GED. Both her father and mother were basket makers; her mother made white oak baskets. When Emily was eight years old, she began making baskets with little oak strips that her parents discarded. Her first basket was a breadbasket, and her family used it to store silverware for many years. She dyes her basket splints with walnut and bloodroot for decorative weaving in her own distinctive patterns. Emily Smith has presented programs about basketry at schools and colleges in Georgia, North Carolina, and Alabama. Although she occasionally makes baskets from honeysuckle vines, she is best known for her white oak baskets. Accompanied by her daughter JoAnn, Emily Smith is willing to travel throughout the region to demonstrate basket making or teach one-day workshops. Her daughter assists her with driving and with the programs. Hands-on workshops must supply the following materials on site: scissors or knives for each student, tables, and blue denim or other thick material for padding the lap while weaving the white oak splints. Their fee is negotiable and must include compensation for any travel.
