Leekya Deyuse’s son Francis Leekya had four children, three of whom have thriving careers as Zuni fetish carvers. They are Hayes, Freddie & Delvin Leekya.
Hayes Leekya carves happy animals, frogs, livestock and horses - all are carved to look up at the viewer. He has also rendered some human figures such as priests and women. From time to time he does innovative carvings such as chickens on nests with eggs and birds or dragonflies with mother-of-pearl and turquoise inlaid wings. We especially like his happy horses and frogs.
