- Summary:
- This collection of 17 documents, all in English, cover a time span from approximately 1540 to the late twentieth century. Although this collection does deal to some extent with most of the Tewa pueblos of New Mexico - San Juan, Santa Clara, San Ildefonso, Tesuque, Pojoaque, and Nambe - major emphasis is on the two pueblos of San Juan and San Ildefonso. A study of traditional Tewa ethnography, up to 1927, is found in Parsons, focusing on social organization, ritual, and ceremonies, but lacking much information on material culture. Brief culture summaries on these other pueblos are included: San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, Nambe, Pojoaque, Tesuque, and San Juan. Other major topics include population statistics on San Juan in Aberle; recent (twentieth century) culture change in San Ildefonso in Whitman; Tewa world view and the role of dual moiety organization in a functioning society in Ortiz; and details of the Raingod Drama, and the making of medicine men in San Juan in Laski.
