“I would like to include a few pieces of unfinished miniature pottery that I have made, a small weaved belt and a letter about why they are important to my tribe Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico. I want people in 43 years to know that pottery and weaving are still important to the people in my tribe. The cultural significance of these items are not only for religious purposes, but every day activities as well. They remind me of home and will offer a glimpse in the life of one “modern-day Native” who hopes the traditions of pottery making and belt weaving will be passed on to her children and future generations.”
