Ronald Honyouti was born in 1955 and has been carving Kachina dolls since the age of 12. He learned to carve from his father Clyde and his elder brother Brian Honyouti. He is known for his realistic single piece carvings which he carefully details with oil paints rather than acrylics. He has won numerous awards and in 1985 was the recipient of a Fellowship award from the South West American Indian Association (SWAIA). His carvings can be found in the collections of the Museum of Northern Arizona, the Kolbe Collection, Anthropology Museum at the University of Missouri, the Heard Museum and the University of Oklahoma Museum of Art.

"These clowns are considered to be the fathers of the Kachinas. They behave in the usual manner of pueblo clowns, engaging in loud and boisterous conversation, immoderate actions, and gluttony."
