* Please note: Mary Trujillo is Ohkay Owingeh (San Juan) and Isleta, but married into Cochiti Pueblo (Leonard Trujillo). She learned how to make Cochiti-style pottery from her mother-in-law, Helen Cordero, and generally works in that style.
Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Isleta collection review visit May 2-3, 2022 (Events Record “Collection Review: Isleta Collection Review 2"): The participants do not believe this artist, Mary Trujillo, is the same, Mary E. Trujillo, from Isleta Pueblo. This does not look Isleta.
The Indian Arts Research Center, in collaboration with Native American community scholars, strives to present accurate collections records. Records may be updated as new information becomes available and is reviewed with the Native American community having cultural affinity to particular items. Please write to iarc@sarsf.org if you have questions or concerns related to the documentation.
