Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ...of their fathers Ha-tal-i before them. Many of their ceremonies, which are usually performed for the healing of the sick, are very long, elaborate and intricate rites, being often of nine days duration. The priest of the ceremony is called ha-tal-i, which signifies chanter, or singer. It requires many years of patient work to learn one of the great rites perfectly, there being in many of them more than two hundred different songs to be memorized, and no priest attempts to learn more than one of the great rites, though he may know some of the rites of many of the minor ceremonies. In many of their ceremonies the Navajos masquerade in the paraphernalia of their favorite gods, and while posing as a god they may gesticulate and utter strange sounds yet they must never speak.

Tonita Pena is considered by many to be the first woman painter among the Rio Grande Pueblo people, one whose work is extremely well regarded from the time she began painting, shortly after 1916, to her death in 1949. Before the time of the publication of this book, there was no book written that focused directly upon her life and accomplishments as an artist. This volume remedies that omission by bringing together unpublished archival materials, written and recorded reminiscences of individuals close to her, as well as insights developed by the author's longstanding fascination with the Pueblo Southwest.
