Toza (Svetozar Radakovich) taught jewelry at the Southwestern Indian Art Project, University of Arizona, in 1961 through the Rockefeller Foundation. He stayed on the Hopi Reservation, co-taught with Charles Loloma and they became lifelong friends, along with his niece, jeweler Verma Nequatewa (Sonwai). Toza and his wife Ruth continued to visit Hopi many times and Toza was greatly influenced by Charles' work and by the experience. They also formed lasting friendships with Tucson artists including fabric designer Berta Wright, ceramic artist Maurice Grossman and visionary architect Paolo Soleri.
