Acoma Seed Pot By Norma Jean Ortiz
Acoma Pottery
Norma Jean Ortiz Has Lived At Acoma Pueblo For Most Of Her Life. She Supports Herself And Her Daughter By Creating Pottery In The Way Her Native American Family Has Been For Over 1,000 Years.

She Mines The Clay On The Reservation, Mixes It With Old Pottery Fragments Found In The Hills And Soaks This With Rain Water.
