Pablita Velarde (1918-2006) Tse Tsan - Golden Dawn, Santa Clara Pueblo, was well familiar with dance costume details and she was careful to portray dancers with accurate clothing. Her paintings are ethnographically important as well as artistically important. She has provided us with a detailed representation of pueblo dancers of her time. This presentation of a very active Eagle Dancer is no exception. His costume is accurate and the presentation of the dance is as one would see at the pueblo.
