Lena Charlie was Corn Clan and known as Corn Woman. According to the Museum of Northern Arizona publication Plateau, Vol 48, Nos 3 & 4, Spring 1976, Lena Chio (Charlie) is known to have been an active potter from 1933 to 1961. She is referenced to have been a part of the Nampeyo family, but that does not seem to be 100% true. However, we do know that she also painted some of Nampeyo’s (1860–1942) pottery when Nampeyo’s eyes started to fail and she could still make pottery, but not paint.
