Tafoya, Myra Little Snow (b. 1962)
Myra Little Snow is a daughter of Lucy Yearflower Tafoya, a granddaughter of Camilio Tafoya and the sister of Shawn, Kelli Little Katchina and Forrest Tafoya. She began making pottery in the early 1970's and was featured in the "7 Families in Pueblo Pottery" book. While Myra no longer makes pottery, her early pieces are a wonderful part of the history of Camilio Tafoya's family legacy!
