Sarah Garcia
was born of a
Laguna Pueblo
mother (Maria Trujillo) but has spent her adult life as an
Acoma Pueblo
potter, probably one of the most prolific potters at the pueblo. She, along with
Jessie
Garcia
,
Lucy M. Lewis
, and
Marie Z. Chino
, was largely responsible for the revival of Anasazi and Tularosa designs on contemporary Acoma wares. Sarah's daughter
Goldie Hayah
is now carrying on the tradition.
Sarah Garcia passed away on July 5th 2015. [Source: granddaugher Starlene Mooney.]
