Chief Wilson Tawaquoptewa (Kachina Doll Carver). [Salt Lake City]: c.1940. Black and white photograph [35 cm x 28 cm] (c.1950) Glue residue present on the reverse of image. Wilson Tawaquoptewa (1873-1960) was the Chief (kikmongwi) of Old Oraibi on Third Mesa in Hopi. An important religious and political leader, he was also a Kachina carver of note. Unlike most carvers, Tawaquoptewa’s “Kachinas” where not actual Kachinas, but Kachina-esque, and from his imagination alone, due to his deeply held beliefs. His carvings are sought after. J.H. McGibbeny (1891-1970) was born in Philadelphia, and he spent his early years in the eastern U.S. He later moved west and attended the University of Arizona. He moved to Salt Lake City in the early 1930s and established himself as a photographer and writer on the Navajo and Hopi Indians, with some of his work appearing in ‘Arizona Highways.’ $150 Death Valley Boomtown 9- Holt, A.E.
