HOPI SILVERSMITH
ABOUT US
ABOUT ANDERSON
Anderson Koinva was born in his home in Shungopavi Village, Second Mesa, Arizona.

He has one son, Bo; and one daughter, Audreyal with his wife Berna; who is the daughter of Bernard Dawahoya (deceased). Bernard was the master silversmith on the Hopi reservation in his time.​
​Anderson worked and learned Hopi over-lay jewelry from Berna's father (Bernard). Anderson has mastered Bernard's technique and will carry on the boldness of his designs, in honor of his father-in-law.
​
Anderson belongs to the Sun Forehead Clan, so he uses the Sun Forehead symbol with a snake along the bottom. Or he will use his name "Anderson Koinva" and "Hopi" as another mark.
