Many of the pueblos of New Mexico have a long tradition of clay figurines and effigy vessels. the first contemporary storyteller figurine did not appear until 1964, when wellknown collector of folk art, Alexander Girard, encouraged Helen Cordero of Cochiti to expand upon the mother and child figurines (Sometimes called 'singing mothers') and create one with many children. The figure that she eventually made was a pueblo man with five children on his lap and shoulders. I was made in memory of her remarkable grandfather, Santiago Quintana. Quintana, in the interest of maintaining the preserving his culture's traditions, worked with visiting anthropologists for over forty years, beginning in the late 1800's. For a still longer period, he helped keep them alive in the traditional manner: storytelling. It has been over half a century since his grandchildren gathered around him to hear yet another story from this gifted storyteller, and the grandchildren now have grandchildren. But the man and what he devoted much of his life to preserving for future generations have not faded from memory, nor are they likely to.
