The Pueblo Indians of San Ildefonso: A Changing Culture

1947 Reprint. AMS Press, Inc.

From the Preface:

The present study was made in the village of San Ildefonso, New Mexico, during the summer of 1936, the winter and spring of 1937, and in the course of a final visit in the summer of 1939.

San Ildefonso has within the last century achieved considerable notice as the home of famous Indian artists, and the pottery and painting of the people have come in for extravagant praise and unusual publicity. All this has had its effect on the pueblo. In comparison with many other pueblos San Ildefonso is wealthy and sophisticated.
