Zuni Pueblo artist Mallery Quetawki said she was 'honored' to draw someone who is such a strong representation of her people.
Doodle shines a light on important, but sometimes lesser-known people whose influence has made a great change in the world. In light of Native American Heritage Month, the first doodle in November is in honor of the late We:wa.
The doodle was drawn by Zuni Pueblo artist Mallery Quetawki, who said she was"honored" to draw someone who is such a strong representation of her people.The late We:wa was born in around 1849 in Zuni Pueblo, which is an indigenous community in the land now known as New Mexico.
When American settlers began to arrive, the late We:wa was one of the first Zuni members to sell their creations to non-indigenous people, and create relationships with those outside of the community. They were hired by anthropologists James and Matilda Stevenson to make pottery, much of which is now exhibited at the National Museum in Washington D.C.
