Ada Suina (born May 20, 1930) is a renowned potter from Cochiti Pueblo, a Native American community located about 15 miles south of Santa Fe, New Mexico, along the Rio Grande. She is celebrated for her intricate, handcrafted clay figurines, particularly the iconic "storyteller" form—a seated human figure surrounded by children, symbolizing the oral tradition of passing down Pueblo histories, legends, and values through generations. These pieces capture the joy, movement, and communal spirit of storytelling in Cochiti culture.
