Synopsis

The printed information about the Pueblos is scattered in many scientific publications.  Some of these are out of print.  Some deal only with one detail or one village.  The material has been sifted and facts about their material culture brought together here and the results reviewed by various specialists at Columbia University, University of New Mexico, Laboratory of Anthropology of Santa Fe, and the Denver Art Museum. 

In addition to this printed material, information was given and crafts demonstrated by Pueblo Indians of today.  Some of the illustrations were drawn by Indians, students at the government schools.  Others were lent by the National Museum, and the Museum of Northern Arizona.
