The Matriarchs This Exhibit features four master Acoma potters and their families who inspired the traditional Acoma pottery revival.
The four matriarchs promoted and cultivated a legacy, and thus helped rejuvenate Acoma’s “Pottery Tradition” that would later pave the way for all future Acoma master potters. Each Matriarch (Lucy M. Lewis, Marie Z. Chino, Jessie Garcia, and Juana Leno) developed and perfected a signature style now sought after by galleries and private collectors worldwide.

 | From the Railroad to Route 66: The Native American Curio Trade in New Mexico The rich, complex, and controversial story of the curio trade in New Mexico is told here for the first time. It is not only a story about artifacts, but of personalities, innovations, perseverance, and ultimately the survival of traditions.
 | From the Railroad to Route 66: The Native American Curio Trade in New Mexico When the railroad began serving New Mexico in 1880, it brought a steady stream of tourists eager to purchase an array of items invented purely for them by Pueblo and Navajo artisans collaborating with non-Indian dealers. Thus did the curio trade begin, expanding to include a network of cottage industries, retail venues and a booming mail order business that all had far-reaching consequences into the 20th century.
