March is Women's History Month

 roadside markers.  Text provided by our colleagues at New Mexico Historic Preservation Division 

Women of Cochití, Cochití Pueblo

Women in Cochití are known for reviving the historic figurative tradition now referred to as Storytellers, adult clay figurines surrounded by children. The efforts of these women have bloomed into a vibrant cottage industry, inspiring many potters and have greatly enhanced the economic welfare of Cochiti. Storytellers are now widely collected as art, appearing in major museums and private collections around the world.
