The following biography is from the archives of askART.
Red Robin was a Zuni indian. It is believed that he was associated with the Art communities in both Santa Fe and Taos, New Mexico. He worked for the Colorado Federal Art Project during the WPA period, and he exhibited a work in the 1936 Exhibition of WPA Artists at the Phillips Collection in Washington, DC. At that time, he was listed as a Colorado Artist.
Eventually he moved to New York City where he became a designer of textiles. It is not know whether these designs were in any way connected to his time in Colorado or New Mexico.
