She is responsible for reviving Hopi pottery in the late 1800's and into the 1900's and utilized design elements from ancient Pueblo ruins. She initially collaborated with her daughters, notably Annie. Her youngest daughter, Fannie Nampeyo has become a matriarch herself with dozens of related family potters.The Nampeyo name is famous.
The Nampeyo family hails from the village of Polacca at the base of first Mesa, home of the famed ancient Walpi village. All of this, of course, is on Hopiland, about sixty miles north of Winslow, Arizona.
