Tribal Collection Review RemarksAccording to the participants in the Acoma collection review visit April 22-24, 2015 (Events Record “Collection Review: Acoma Pueblo, Review 1”): None of the participants were familier with the artist. No comments were made.

*It was suggested that other poeple from Acoma should be asked also to see if they can identify Pedro Vallo, the artist.
