F. Chee Likely refers to a member of the Chee family, renowned Navajo-Hopi carvers known for intricate, lifelike kachina sculptures.  The most prominent is Raymond Chee (b. ~1960s, Navajo), a master carver whose works capture movement and detail, often featuring hunters, warriors, or rain-bringers like the Long Hair Kachina.  His pieces emphasize cultural storytelling, with bases depicting dwellings or ceremonial scenes. "F. Chee" could be a relative (e.g., Fred or a variant), but Raymond's style matches closely—e.g., a 10" Long Hair Kachina with pueblo dwellings.

M. Chambers Less documented in Hopi carving circles; possibly a collaborator or apprentice (e.g., a student from Hopi arts workshops).  No major Hopi carver by this exact name appears in records, but it could tie to broader Native artist networks.  If this is a joint piece, it might reflect mentorship traditions where elders like Chee guide emerging talents.
