Emory Sekaquaptewa (1928 – December 14, 2007) was a Hopi leader and scholar, best known for his role in compiling the first dictionary of the Hopi language. Sekaquaptewa worked in many fields during his life. He was believed to be the first Native American to graduate from West Point since the early 19th century,[citation needed] and he later attended law school at the University of Arizona. Working with his brother, he developed new methods of jewelry production. He held various leadership positions within his own village of Kykotsmovi, as well as positions on the Hopi Tribal Council and the appellate division of the Hopi Tribal Court.
