Donovan Laiwakete ZUNI FETISH CARVER
		Donovan Laiwakete is an accomplished Zuni fetish carver who learned the art of Zuni fetish carving from his brother Rodney Laiwakete. Rodney was influenced by Eugene Mahooty, Al Lasiloo and Lloyd Lasiloo. Donovan's brother, Bernard, and nephew, Kenric, are Zuni carvers as is his cousin, Travis Lasiloo. Donovan's bear and horse fetish carvings are creative and appealing due to their bold strength and his use of stone and creative heartlines and bundles.
