Talking Earth Pottery is an internationally-acclaimed Mohawk pottery collective based in Six Nations of the Grand River, Ontario. Steve Smith, Mohawk Nation, Turtle Clan, began making pottery at age 12 and fired his first pieces in the ground. While Iroquoian pottery traditions had been lost to European contact, Smith's mother Elda was one of the first to work and reclaim this knowledge, conducting research in archaeological sites and museums to study the ancient designs.
Steve Smith started Talking Earth Pottery in 1976; Steve, his wife Leigh, and daughter Santee create works that reflect ancient Iroquois symbols as well as bold new ideas. Their style is influenced by Mayan, Aztec, and southwest Native pottery that includes colors absent from their own Native Iroquois traditions.

Native American Indians are deeply spiritual people and they communicated their history, thoughts, ideas and dreams from generation to generation through Symbols and Signs:
It is believed singing is one way to speak with the grandfathers as well as the Great Spirit. The sun is viewed as both a healer and a peace-lover, radiating light from a powerful entity outward into the world.
Herons are symbols of good luck and patience in many Native American tribes.
Wolves figure prominently in nearly every Native American tribe. In most Native cultures, Wolf is considered a medicine being associated with courage, strength, loyalty, and success at achieving goals.
