Description

Diane Humetewa is a lawyer and member of the Hopi Tribe.  She was nominated by President Obama to serve as a U.S. district judge.  In 2014, Congress confirmed her as a judge of the District of Arizona, becoming the first Native American woman to serve as a federal judge of a district court.  A graduate of the Indian Legal Program at the Arizona State University College of Law, she is considered an expert on Native American legal issues.  In 2005, Associate Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg suggested that Diane Humetewa should be the next Supreme Court Justice.

This Diane Humetewa mug is part of our Native American biographical series.  Indigenous Americans in the United States are descendants of Pre-Columbian Era people who populated these lands.  Prior to 1492, there were many different nations, bands, and tribes. After contact with the Europeans who began to explore and colonize the Americas, the populations of these groups dramatically declined.  During the 19th century as explorers, settlers and the military moved into the West conflicts became frequent.  We would like to honor the notable men and women, from the past and the present, who deserve acknowledgment and recognition for their roles in Native American history.

The biographical History Mugs were created to teach and inspire individuals to learn about our diverse and interesting history.  The biographies were researched and written by history enthusiast, Robert Compton.  He colorized most of the historic photos and images used on the mugs, which were originally black and white or sepia tone.  The images and biographies are imprinted on mugs at his studio in rural Vermont.
