Effie is not only one of the most beloved Native American artists, but she is also one of the bravest. Effie went all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States of America to obtain full copyright of her art work to stop those from importing fake pieces of her work. She specialized in snake designs. She began silversmithing in 1956 after learning from her husband, Juan Calavaza, until his death around 1970. Effie passed in 2019. Her work is stamped EFFIE C. ZUNI, which is the family hallmark used by Effie and her daughters.
