Native Americans havealways felt a special connection to nature. The belief that all thingshave a spirit is an integral part of their religions. The Zuni believethat animals are more like the Zuni deities than is man. They alsobelieve that animals have more power than man and that these powers,both practical and spiritual, reside in their animal carvings.
TheInspiration of Casa Grandes pottery is taken from Casas Grandestradition. The renaissance of this beautiful pottery began in the early1960's, following the Amerind Foundation's excavation of the nearbyPaquime ruins in 1958. Until that time, there was little interest inthe antiquities of the area, but after the excavation, however, an newawareness developed.
Technically and aesthetically, CasasGrandes pottery equals or surpasses the work of the Indian potters ofthe American Southwest.
