Ramona Loloma Poleyma (Hopi) made jewels from 1977 to 1984,
she also excels at making rugs. Ramona was born on June 27, 1934 and
lives in Hotevilla, Third Mesa Arizona.
Ramona, sister of Charles Loloma, were aunt and uncle of Verma Nequatewa and Sherian Honhongva. Apprenticing with Loloma (Nequatewa from 1966, Honhongva from 1976), the sisters worked with him until his retirement in the late 80s. Their sense of continuity with and difference from him was reflected in the name they chose to share when they began to exhibit together in 1989: Sonwai is the feminine form of the Hopi word for “beauty (the masculine being “loloma). Around 1993 the sisters began to work independently. Nequatewa continued with the Sonwai name, while Honhongva used her own name.
