Kai Sa (1918-1974 ) Born at the Zuni Pueblo in New Mexico, his Indian name is "Kai Sa," meaning Red Moon. He is also known as Percy Sandy Tsisete. He married Peggy Mirabel of the Taos Pueblo, and they lived in Taos. As a child at the Zuni Day School, he was told to paint and discovered he loved the activity. HE WAS EDUCATED & TRAINED AT THE DOROTHY DUNN AMERICAN INDIAN SCHOOL IN SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO and At age 18, he took formal art instruction at Albuquerque and also studied at the Sherman Institute in Santa Fe. Percy Sandy, who used his traditional name Kai Sa in signing his work, experimented with a variety of styles, mediums and subjects, but he preferred to work in watercolor in a representational manner. Also known as a muralist, his best known mural is at the La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe. His goal as an artist became "depicting authentically the customs of my people. This, I hope, will be my small contribution to a great race," he said in 1940. (Snodgrass American Indian Painters). Mural commissions by him are at the La Fonda Hotel in Taos, New Mexico, and the Black Rock School and Hospital in Black Rock, New Mexico. He has also illustrated books. In 1959, he was severely injured in an automobile accident and was basically unable to paint from then on. He died on may 15, 1974. Kai Sa’s work can be seen in the collections at the Gilcrease Institute and the Philbrook Art Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma; the Heard Museum, Phoenix, Arizona; the Indian Arts and Crafts Board, Washington, D.C.; the Museum of Northern Arizona; the Museum of New Mexico; and the United Pueblo Agency, New Mexico.
