Hopi Artist Michael Kabotie Dies at Age 67
Associated Press
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Michael Kabotie, an American Indian artist whose colorful paintings reflected traditional Hopi life, has died. He was 67.
Kabotie's 22-year-old daughter, Meg Adakai, says her father became ill several weeks ago and died Friday at a Flagstaff hospital of swine flu and related complications.
Earlier this year, Kabotie was a winner of a juried competition at the Heard Museum in Phoenix. The museum's Web site says Kabotie is to be the featured artist at the annual Heard Museum Guild Indian Fair & Market in March.
Kabotie's daughter says her father lived in Second Mesa, a community on the Hopi Reservation in Arizona where he was raised.
