Pueblo Indians of North America

the long version

This case study of the Pueblo Indians is unique in this series [Case Studies in Cultural Anthropology series]. It is not about a single people and their culture but about a group of related peoples and their adaptation through time to their changing physical, socioeconomic, and political environments. The pueblo Indian cultures of the southwest have played a significant role in the history of their region and have been of special significance to anthropologists of at least four generations. The space limitations usual to case studies in this series have been lifted so as to allow for an adequate expansion of detail necessary to the analysis of the three periods of time considered in this unusual study.
