Product Description
An authoritative treatment of the social, cultural, and ethnohistorical data on both the Eastern and Western Pueblos! The information contained in this case study is the result of the author's lifetime spent among the Pueblos. "I have lived in or visited every village small and large from the Hopi towns of lower and upper Moencopi in Arizona to the double apartment buildings of Taos Pueblo in northern New Mexico," writes the author in his preface. He writes not of a single people and their culture but of a group of related peoples and their adaptation through time to their changing physical, socioeconomic, and political environments. A rare, inside view of native life and culture by an anthropologist who is himself a Pueblo Indian. Perhaps the best single volume on the subject.

5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is packed with information about the history of New Mexico (the real history), and about the different ethnic groups, and the various pueblos. Dozier also wrote a similarly good book about Hano, the non-Hopi pueblo on the Hopi reservation. Warning: These books challenge some of the commonly held views about Hispanic and Indian culture and origins in the Southwest. Dozier was a Santa Clara Indian, and a professor of anthropology and related subjects at several universities in the US. Much of the information he gives is from firsthand research and experience. Given his background, he writes from a highly unbiased viewpoint. To be fair, his research is from the fifties and sixties, and so with respect to the situation today may be a little out of date. Still - highly recommended.
