The daughter of Eunice (the original Fawn) Navasie, "Little" Fawn Navasie was born on the Hopi Reservation in 1959. She was inspired to learn to make pottery by watching her mother. Eunice taught her everything she knew, including how to make the white slip pottery that is a hallmark of the Naha and Navasie families. Everyone who works with that smooth white slip says it's very difficult to work with, especially to polish.

Fawn started producing pottery around 1979, mostly white ware jars, bowls and wedding vases that she created in collaboration with her mother. Then she married James Garcia Nampeyo and started producing buff and yellow ware jars, wedding vases and bowls in collaboration with him. Her favorite shapes are evocative of ancient Sikyatki shapes while her favorite designs have been clouds, rainbirds, parrots and feathers. She signs her pots: Fawn, with a fawn hoofprint nearby.

Among Fawn's relatives are her sisters Dawn and Dolly Joe White Swann Navasie. She's also the niece of Perry and Joy 2nd Frogwoman Navasie, Justin and Pauline Setalla and Helen Featherwoman and Archie Naha.
