Mela Tafoya Youngblood (1931-1991) Misteltoe Yellow was the daughter of Margaret Tafoya, granddaughter of Sara Fina Tafoya, and mother of Nancy Youngblood. Mela won awards practically every year from 1976 through 1989 at Santa Fe Indian Market, so there is no doubt about her talent and the respect given her. It is unfortunate that she passed away at such a young age. She was still very active at that time.
