We have been posting items from the former trading post in Carlsbad, New Mexico that closed in 1977 known as Chief Sunny Skies Trading Post. This wedding vessel is another item related to that family. It was made by Helen Vallo of Acoma Pueblo and she was a cousin to Chief Sunny Skies (Clyde Hunt) and the mother of Henry Vallo. The family had retained all the inventory remaining from the trading post since 1977 and has been releasing it to us over the past year. Here is another great item that stayed in the family and is still owned by Helen's son, Henry Vallo.
