Russell Sanchez of San Ildefonso Pueblo, grandson of Abel Sanchez, said that these are male Blue Bird Dancers. One might assume, as I did, that they were female because of the tabletas on their heads, but Russell says the men do wear the tabletas when dancing this ceremony.
Condition: a couple of miniscule holes punched in the paper out of the imagery and slight creases at two corners
Provenance: from the personal collection of a gentleman from Oklahoma
