[1] In 2001, the Wheelwright Museum organized a 30-year retrospective exhibition of Quotskuyva's pottery,[2] and in 2004, she received the Southwestern Association for Indian Arts Lifetime Achievement award.

[3] Quotskuyva was the great-granddaughter of Hopi-Tewa potter Nampeyo of Hano, who revived Sikyátki style pottery,[1] descending through her eldest daughter, Annie Healing.

[6][7] Dextra began her artistic career in 1967, following Nampeyo's rich heritage rooted in Sikyatki decorations.

[8] Quotskuyva experiments with the traditional materials usually used for pottery, gathering clay from different sources from her reservation and creating variations on the characteristic orange, tan, and brown hues of Hopi bonfire pots.

[9] Noted American Indian art dealer and collector, Martha Hopkins Lanman Struever, authored a book about Dextra entitled "Painted Perfection", exploring a collection of her works which were exhibited at the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian.
