Alvin Navasie

Butterfly

8 1/4" total height


Considered by some to be the pioneer of modern kachina carving, Alvin Navasie has certainly left his mark on an ancient Hopi tradition. Alvin, who is from Polacca on First Mesa on the Hopi reservation, has done an excellent job carving this Kachina. Alvin was taught Hopi carving by his brother- in-law, Cecil Calnimptewa, who frequently shares his time with both Alvin and his brother Wally Navasie.

Alvin is one of 25 carvers featured in Theda Bassman's book, "Hopi Kachina Dolls and Their Carvers" on pages 104-107. Alvin is 37 years old and has been carving for over 20 years. The Kachina is signed on the bottom of the base: "Alvin Navasie, Sr."
