BYMaster Silversmith Manuel Hoyungwa (Hopi, Greasewood Clan, 1953 - 2011.) Hoyungowa lived in Hotevilla on Third Mesa and was an active silversmith at Hopi Pueblo since the 197\'0s. Although he produced some jewelry with coral and turquoise, more in the style of Navajo work, Hoyungowa was a master silversmith which is evident in his traditional Hopi silver overlay technique jewelry.
