"The strongest of all warriors are these two — Time and Patience." — Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

Rainy Naha (1949-2026), Native American - Hopi-Tewa, was known for her intricately painted pottery. The tumbling parrots and solstice designs were her unique creations. While she won numerous awards, it was her kindness, laugh, and creativity that brought her so many fans. After working with her for 30 years, she will be greatly missed, but she leaves behind an amazing legacy and family. She is the end of an era.

King Galleries Scottsdale & Santa Fe has a mission to provide customers with the highest quality Native American Fine Art and Pueblo Pottery

-Richard Feynman

Melvil Dewey invented the Dewey Decimal System in 1876.

The Dewey Decimal System makes finding books in libraries much simpler. Dividing books into ten main categories, each with its own subcategories, helps librarians and visitors find exactly what they’re looking for without wasting time.

This system is not only about keeping books in line; it’s about making knowledge accessible to everyone. Over 200,000 libraries in 135 countries still use this system today because it works so well.
