What does this mean?

Dear Nikki,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry. My sincere apologies for the delay with the appraisal.

The presented object appears to be a drawing on paper with the measurements of 16 x 20 inches. The drawing depicts a flaming bird of prey or the mythological creature Phoenix. The painting appears to be made and signed by Eric Humetewa, Hopi (1926-1976).
Sadly no additional information for an artist with this name fitting in style and motif is given by reference books and databases.
Comparable objects were recently offered and sold on the international auction market.
This piece is in good condition and there is no serious damage visible in the images provided.
A fair market estimation would be between 50 to 100 USD.
This estimate is based on actual recent past recorded auction sales of comparable items. Retail "asking prices" can be higher and may vary.

With kind regards,
George
