Teresita Naranjo History 

Teresita Naranjo (1919-1999) was born and raised on the Santa Clara Pueblo, and passed into the next world on January 2, 1999.

Her given Indian name was Bay-Po-Vi which translates to Apple Blossom. She won many awards for her pottery during her lifetime.

Teresita was the daughter of Victor & Christina Naranjo and the granddaughter of Serafina Tafoya.

She actively made pottery between 1935-1999.

Teresita Naranjo Family Stories 

Her grandfather (Geronimo Tafoya) used to tell her Avanyu (the Tewa word for waterdragons) bring luck, health, peace, joy and happiness as well as rain and good crops to the Indian people and to all people on the earth.

Many of her pottery pieces use Avanyu as the main focal point.

Santa Clara Pottery 

Her work was in the Seven Families in Pueblo Pottery exhibition at the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology, as well as the Heard Museum in Phoenix, Arizona.

She is in almost all of the Southwestern Native American artist pottery books.

Her pieces have sold for thousands of dollars at RG Munn, Sothebys, and Butterfields auctions.

About tuspirits

We are a 100% Woman Owned, Limited Liability Company located in the State of New Mexico, USA. We started our business in June of 2002 by selling "Dust Collectors" (as my Dad put it) on eBay.


We love to sell minerals! If it's pretty or sings to us at a rock show or distributors shop we will purchase them and put them up for sale at a reasonable price.


We believe it is important for us to always picture every mineral we sell so that you know exactly what you will receive.


We also sell collectible and utility knives, Native American Beadwork and Pottery, Mata Ortiz Pottery, and terrific auction finds from our local Mimbres Valley Auctioneer.


We believe that in order to grow our business and keep it unique diversity is the key. So you'll find many different items on our web site, in our eBay Store, and eBay Auctions. Some are unique, some collectible, and some just because they tickle our fancy.


We are 100% dedicated to Customer Service, Fair & Honest representation of all our goods, and in treating all people the way we ourselves would like to be treated.


In June of 2006 we opened a new division of our company, Her-Wil Jewelry Creations. The other half of Tu Spirits is a disabled Desert Storm Veteran. She enjoys making wonderful jewelry including necklaces, bracelets, and earrings all beaded from the Heart using glass, stone, crystal, and wood beads.
