Zuni Fetish Carver: Todd Westika

Todd Westika is making the long trip from Zuni Pueblo to share his carvings of corn maidens, buffalo, bear, badgers, turtles, jewelry and more. You can find Todd’s work in most of the books about Zuni fetish carvings. He uses top quality stone and shell, including interesting uses of fossilized shells. The people of Zuni Pueblo have a centuries long tradition of carving small animals to be used in ceremonies and for healing, strength, etc. You can learn more about this tradition this weekend.
