A brief but meaningful viewing of Hopi artwork
More than 30 pieces of century-old Hopi pottery, baskets, and other items are making a return visit to the Hopi community, making them available to the descendants of the artists for the first time.

The project is called Tuma Angwu Owya. The pieces were originally acquired by a wealthy Massachusetts family who visited the Hopi reservation during cross-country trip in the late 1920s.

The family forged a lasting relationship with some Hopi community members. And their collection is now housed at Wesleyan University, which is helping facilitate this unique return to their place of origin for a weekend.

Join Native America Calling to talk with the event organizers about bringing these works back to the Hopi reservation.
