We're excited to announce that October 15th - 18th, Hopi Carver Cory Ahownewa will be demonstrating at Hovenweep National Monument!

Cory is from the Hopi Village of Hotevilla. He is from the Badger and Butterfly Clan and has been carving Traditional Old Style Katsina Dolls since he was initiated at the age of thirteen.

Cory uses paints made from locally sourced earth pigments, naturally occurring minerals, principally iron oxides, that have been used in paints for thousands of years for their natural color. His attention to detail and devotion to traditional methods makes his work truly exceptional.

Come watch him demonstrate and learn more about his culture and traditions!

About UPAN

The Utah Prisoner Advocate Network (UPAN) is dedicated to supporting families and loved ones as they navigate the challenging journey of incarceration. When a friend or family member is incarcerated, it can be an overwhelming experience, as supporters face the complex rules, regulations, and restrictions of life separated by bars. UPAN works to make this transition less complicated and isolating by providing resources and support for families while also advocating for better conditions and fairness within Utah’s correctional facilities. Please visit our About Page to learn more.
