From the Acknowledgements:

With a tradition of Zuni jewelry making extending back more than a thousand years, and with more than a thousand currently practicing silversmiths, the immediate problem in writing a book about the rich history and the very creative present of Zuni is what do you leave in and what do you leave out; more precisely, who do you leave in and who do you leave out.
