The San Ildefonso school, also known as San Ildefonso Self-Taught Group, was an art movement from 1900 to 1935 featuring Native American artists primarily from the San Ildefonso Pueblo in New Mexico. The group consisted of Tonita Peña, Julian Martinez, Awa Tsireh, Crecencio Martinez, and Jose Encarnación Peña. This was the first known Native American group in the American Southwest to practice easel painting.
