We categorize Melvin Sandoval as a Zuni carver even though he is San Felipe and lives on the San Felipe Pueblo. He is married to a Zuni woman, who lives with him and their children there. He also participates in Zuni events such as Shalako, for which he and his wife, Irma, built a Shalako house at Zuni Pueblo. To learn more about Melvin Sandoval, see the book written about his work.
