I have been unable to find any published information on Rufina Trujillo. In a personal conversation with Mary Trujillo of Cochiti Pueblo on 20 April 2010, I learned that she was originally from Acoma Pueblo and married a Cochiti Pueblo man and moved to Cochiti. She passed away in 2007 from complications of asthma. Mary said she does not think she made much pottery in her time at Cochiti.
