About the Artist

Known to have collaborated with Preston Monongye, Tsikewa was known for his mosaic inlay jewelry, his fetish necklaces and free-standing fetishes. This Zuni artisan was the son-in-law of Teddy Weahkee. The Jewels of the Southwest exhibition held at the Museum of Indian Arts and Culture in Sante Fe, New Mexico in 2002 included Tsikewa's work.
