Wood Barrette

This barrette was given to me recently by my best friend.

She said a Native American friend made and gave it to her.
It is about 6” wide. Made from wood.
Can anyone help decipher the name on the back? My friend cannot remember the name of the person who gave it to her in the 1970’s or 80’s.
She was living in Arizona at the time.
Thanks

Looks like “Mel Fowlkes” to me, which I suspect is pronounced like ‘folks’.
