The Artist
Cochiti is a Keresan-speaking Rio Grande pueblo best known for its pottery and storyteller figures, with a parallel tradition of beadwork and silver adornment. Its makers share the Rio Grande vocabulary of heishi and inlay with neighbouring Kewa, working shell, turquoise, and silver into strung and set pieces. That Rio Grande lineage runs deep. Heishi — among the oldest forms of adornment in the Southwest — is hand-rolled from shell and stone and ground smooth strand by strand, while bezel-set turquoise and stone-on-shell inlay carry the warm, earthen palette shared with neighbouring Kewa and Santo Domingo work. A Cochiti piece, where its provenance is clear, rewards the same close looking as the pueblo's celebrated pottery: restraint, balance, nothing superfluous. We list Cochiti work here when its provenance is clear. The selection is small and chosen for quality over volume.
Heritage
The Keresan pueblo that gave the world the storyteller figurine — Cochiti artisans bring the same expressive clarity to elegant silver and stone.
Art Traditions
At Cochiti, the storyteller figurine is more than a famous art form — it embodies the central place of oral tradition in pueblo life, of elders passing knowledge to gathered children. That value of transmission across generations also describes how the pueblo's crafts themselves are taught and kept alive, from the carving of a drum to the setting of a stone. As a Keresan pueblo on the Rio Grande, Cochiti maintains ceremonial and agricultural traditions tied closely to the river and the land. Its artists work within this living culture rather than apart from it, and the pueblo guards its ceremonial life with care even as its pottery, drums, and jewelry reach a wide audience. Humiovi presents Cochiti work with respect for the pueblo's remarkable artistic legacy and for the artisans who continue it today.
Cared for thoughtfully, a handcrafted piece is meant to last generations. A few essentials for this one:
Last on, first off
Put your piece on after fragrance, lotion, and hairspray — and take it off before water, sleep, and sport.
Store with care
Keep each piece in its own soft pouch, away from direct sun and damp, so softer stones never meet harder ones.
