Sidney Sekakuku
Sidney was another of the very accomplished silversmiths from the Second Mesa village of Shungopavi. The quality of his work attests to the more than 30 years he had been practicing his craft. As you might be able to discern from the photo on the left, taken at the Museum of Northern Arizona in July, 2008, and from the photo below in 2011, Sidney was a character and had a great sense of humor. Sidney attended the University of Colorado, was a member of the Strap clan and used his signature in script as his hallmark.
Sydney is certainly missed, he passed away in 2013.
