Marie Charlotte Suina (1964 - 2010) signatureMarie Charlotte Suina was a daughter of Ada Suina.  She passed away in 2010 at the age of 46 years.  Her later storytellers are as much like those of her mom’s as they could possibly be.  I assume this one is an earlier creation as it somewhat resembles the work of Ada but not as much as the later ones by Marie Charlotte.  She won an award at the 1988 Santa Fe Indian Market for one of her storyteller figurines.
