Pueblo Profiles
Joe S. Sando weaves a tapestry of individual lives
against a backdrop of history--telling the stories of political leaders,
educators, and artists who took part in the events and movements that
have shaped Pueblo Indian life from the time of the Pueblo Revolt to
the present
day.
The author, an elder at Jemez Pueblo, is a recognized authority and
respected writer on Pueblo history who has participated in the affairs
of the nineteen New Mexico pueblos over several decades. He is thus
able
to present the kind of accurate, detailed information that will once
and
for all lay to rest many of the stereotypes, distortions, and misconceptions
that continue to color attitudes--and policy--toward Native Americans.
Sando's gripping history of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 includes both
the
early Spanish accounts and the orally transmitted information that has
been carefully preserved in the pueblos since the seventeenth century.
His
biographies of twentieth-century political leaders and other noted
people document a history of continuing assaults on Native American
dignity
and sovereignty. More importantly, they highlight the creative responses
that enabled the Pueblo people to preserve their identity within the
dominant culture, while moving with the times. The cultural integrity
of the
Pueblo people shines through the lives of these individuals, who have
lived
simply and with a humility that reflects their most deeply held values.
