Pueblo Indians: Native Americans
built 606 days ago
Working without the use of the potter's wheel, the Pueblo Indians in the American Southwest created beautiful ceramic ware for both utilitarian and ceremonial use. A classic in the field, this book is the first comprehensive account of historic Pueblo pottery, and results from years of study by Larry Frank, an authority on this and other North American Art Forms, and lengthy technical research by Francis Harlow, an internationally known scientist. Illustrating the text are dozens of superb photographs by Bernard Lopez. With nearly two hundred examples, the authors appraise the aesthetic value of Pueblo pottery as rivaling that of any ware made by Neolithic societies, whether in America, Europe, the East of Africa. This book captures that beauty and informs the reader.

Consul General Matthew M. Rooney opened an exhibit on Pueblo Indians at the State Museum of Ethnology in Oettingen. In his remarks, the Consul General noted the importance that these Native American farmers placed on the sacredness of the land and their strong ties to nature. America’s cultural heritage, natural beauty and environmental sensitivity are showcased in this exhibit.

This article presents information on Pueblo Indians. When the Spaniards arrived in the sixteenth century, they found the Pueblo dressed in the same glowing colors, peacefully cultivating the same tribal fields with probably the same wise if rude methods of irrigation used today. Those of the artist race hold that the Pueblos should never be citizens, should rather be preserved like the national parks, government wards in perpetuum in their little islands of primitive culture: a source of absorbing interest to artists, archaeologists, and ethnologists. The "practical people," on the contrary, urges that the only ultimate and happy fate for the Pueblo is absorption and Americanization.
