Eight Centuries of Pueblo Indian History

Pueblo Nations is the story of a vital and creative culture, of a people sustained by ages-old traditions and beliefs, who have adapted to the radical challenges of the modern world. Written by a respected writer, educator, and elder of the Jemez Pueblo, this rare, insider's view of the history of the 19 Indian Pueblos of New Mexico illuminates Pueblo historical traditions dating from millennia before the arrival of Columbus and chronicles the events and changes of the European era from the perspective of those who experienced them. Drawing on both traditional oral history and written records, Sando describes the origin and development of Pueblo civilization, the Spanish conquest and occupation, the Pueblo Revolt of 1680, and the response of the pueblos to Mexican independence and conquest by the United States. Sando offers several portraits of notable Pueblo leaders whose contributions have helped shape the history of their people. He looks at internal developments in Pueblo government and presents a detailed account of the unremitting struggle to retain sovereignty, land, and water rights in the face of powerful outside pressures.

A Pueblo Indian Tale

With vibrant colors and bold geometric forms, Gerald McDermott brilliantly captures the stylized look of Pueblo Indian art in this Caldecott Award-winning retelling of an ancient legend. A young boy searches for his father, but before he can claim his heritage he must first prove his worthiness by passing through the four ceremonial chambers: the kiva of lions, the kiva of snakes, the kiva of bees, and the kiva of lightning. Striking in its simplicity and grace, Arrow to the Sun vividly evokes the Native American reverence for the source of all life—the Solar Fire. Winner of the Caldecott

The Mythic World of the Zuni

3f6a530a-e874-4d79-bc46-86f9f766ede8-0

by Barton Wright is a detailed exploration of the ceremonial shields used by the Pueblo peoples of the American Southwest. The book examines the cultural and spiritual significance of these shields, which were often adorned with symbolic designs representing various elements of nature, myth, and ancestral spirits.

Wright delves into the craftsmanship, the role of shields in Pueblo rituals and warfare, and the meanings behind the intricate symbols and patterns. The book also includes illustrations and photographs to highlight the artistry of the shields, providing readers with both visual and historical insight into their use.

This work is significant for those interested in Native American art, history, and spiritual traditions.

Prehistorically, small hand-held shields are portrayed in Anasazi and Fremont rock paintings and petroglyphs from presumably around the thirteenth century, ideal for use with clubs in hand-to- hand combat. These are contemporaneous with numerous depictions of pedestrian shield bearers with large body shields. Historically the Apache, Comanche, and Ute shared design elements; Apache painting on rawhide is well-known for its use of serrations. Western Plateau and Kutenai "painted teeth as borders in parfleche motifs." Designs on prehistoric shields and on historic shields are both variable and repeated, the latter since the round field of the shield often dictates a predilection for certain solutions to decoration. Very few shield designs are exclusive to any one cultural or tribal group. A design commonly used on historic Rio Grande Pueblo shields: A characteristic pattern consisting of a wide band, often decorated with three or so circles, that cuts the shield face in two horizontally. Above are buffalo horns, and below a fan-shaped element suggestive of eagle tail feathers. The fact that shields were often obtained (as by the Navajo) from other tribes is a major factor, accounting for a broad distribution of designs and other features of manufacture during the historic period. In addition, during the early historic and even Protohistoric period, designs were often widely shared between different tribal groups. This was especially the case, once the horse was introduced and communication became fluid over vast territories.

Ancient Traditions, Modern Lives

For Marcia Keegan, recording the traditional ways of the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico has been a life-long commitment. Keegan is the only photographer to date who has been allowed to take pictures in all 19 New Mexico Pueblos. Pueblo People takes us inside each of these communities and introduces us, in a unique fashion, to the personal dimensions of Indian culture. Including 417 colour photographs taken recently and over the past 30 years, as well as personal stories and quotes offered by her Pueblo friends, Keegan's book presents a remarkable portrait of the continuity of families, traditions, and culture. Representing a continuing diary of Keegan's personal relationship with the Pueblos of New Mexico, the book stands as a tribute to the people, their way of life, and the villages in which they have lived for centuries.
