Eunice “First Fawn” Navasie was born in 1920 and was from Sichomovi on First Mesa on the Hopi Reservation in northern Arizona. She learned the art of pottery making from her mother Agnes and was active making pottery from 1940- 1990. She was the sister-in-law of noted potter Joy Navasie (Second Frog Woman) and the mother of potters Dawn Navasie, Dolly Joe (known as White Swan), and Fawn Garcia Navasie (formerly “Little Fawn”). She died in 1992. The Hopi are renowned for their pottery and are especially recognized for elegantly decorated, gold-hued pots made from clays found at First Mesa. Pots with white and red, slip-glazed backgrounds decorated with similarly intricate designs are also produced by the Hopi. All three typesgold, red, and whitebear fluid, geometric designs executed in red and/or black. Originally, pots with all three backgrounds were produced; but, after roughly 1300, pottery with a white background was made due to a switch from a reduced-oxygen wood-firing process to coal firing, which relies on an oxygen-rich firing environment. In all aspects of Hopi ritual, ideas of space, time, color, and number are all interrelated in such a way as to provide order to the Hopi world. Tales of wealth which lured the early Spaniards to the Seven Cities of Cibola, since to people who did not refine precious metals, gold could have referred to the color. Francisco Porras and two other padres came to the Hopi villages to stay, marking the beginning of the Mission period which brought many changes in Hopi life and even influenced the pottery in the half-century of its duration.
