Juanita Shije (1929 - )

Juanita Shije was originally from Acoma Pueblo and married and moved to Zia Pueblo. Juanita Shije is the mother of Yvonne Shije Grayson, and Cornelia J. Shije. She had done exhibitions at Eight Northern Indian Pueblos Arts and Crafts Show since 1997.  One might be tempted to accept that she used white Acoma clay because of her association with Acoma.
