  • Author : Mary Hunter Austin
  • Publisher : Bulfinch Press
  • Release : 1977
  • ISBN : 9780821207222
  • Pages : 38 pages

Download or read book Taos Pueblo written by Mary Hunter Austin and published by Bulfinch Press. This book was released on 1977 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When Taos Pueblo, his first book, was published in 1930, Ansel Adams was just 28 ... Adams had only recently put aside a nascent career as a concert pianist to pursue photography full time, but he still wasn't sure he could make a go of it when he took up the Taos project in collaboration with Mary Austin, a popular novelist and nature writer based in Santa Fe. ... The twelve photos in Taos Pueblo--each an original print on silver bromide paper prepared especially for the book by Adam's San Francisco custom-paper supplier, William Dassonville--include several formal portraits reminiscent of Edward Curtis and nearly circumscribed, almost intimate landscapes that are a far cry from the inflated magnificence associated with Adam's later work. ... The book's solid success at the height of the Depression (all 108 copies sold over two years at $75 a piece) encouraged Adams to continue in his course as a photographer of the American landscape."--The Book of 101 Books : Seminal Photographic Books of the Twentieth Century / Edited by Andrew Roth. New York : PPP Editions in association with Ruth Horowitz, 2001.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A triumph of the human spirit. This story deserves endless retelling. (Stewart L. Udall) In the mountains of northern New Mexico above Taos Pueblo lies a deep, turquoise lake which was taken away from the Taos Indians, for whom it is a sacred life source and the final resting place of their souls. Marcia Keegan's text and historic photographs document the celebration in 1971, when Taos Pueblo got the sacred lake back after a 60-year struggle with the federal government. Her photographs of everyday life at Taos Pueblo and quotes by members of the community capture the spiritual beauty of Taos Pueblo and its people.

Book Taos Pueblo

  • Author : Philip Reno
  • Publisher :
  • Release : 1972
  • ISBN :
  • Pages : 46 pages

Download or read book Taos Pueblo written by Philip Reno and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Pueblos of Taos have captured the outside world's imagination perhaps more than any other native American tribe. Their prehistoric architecture, the only form indigenous to this continent, has inspired a whole school of modern building design; C.G. Jung, the great psychologist, was deeply impressed by their religious life; Leopold Stokowski came to study the rhythms of their music. The Pueblos' will to survive has withstood natural and man-made disasters over many centuries; their continuity has never been broken, the inward and outward direction of their genius has not been altered. Philip Reno's fascinating study covers Pueblo history, customs, religions, land, occupations, ceremonials. This revised edition includes new photos and four updated chapters.

  • Author : Jonathan Warm Day
  • Publisher : Clear Light Publishing
  • Release : 2003-10
  • ISBN : 9781574160802
  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book Taos Pueblo written by Jonathan Warm Day and published by Clear Light Publishing. This book was released on 2003-10 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ages 6 years & over. Jonathan employs a striking contemporary visual expression to allow us a candid view into the intimate communal life of Taos Pueblo as it was long ago. His charming primitive style, love of vivid colour, and strong use of space are distinctive of his work. His paintings are animated, open, and warmly inviting, revealing the enchanting serenity and gracefulness of life lived close to nature. Jonathan is also inspired by his mother, who was a well-known artist herself, and by his strong connection to the private spiritual life of his pueblo community. As appealing as this rich pastoral world is, it is vanishing quickly, even in Jonathan s lifetime. He is committed, therefore, to preserving his cultural heritage as best he can through his paintings, faithful as they are to both the timeless and the momentary. Thus he gives to his children and to all of us a remarkable record of a native lifestyle, intimately known and nostalgically recalled.

Book Four Square Leagues

  • Author : Malcolm Ebright
  • Publisher : UNM Press
  • Release : 2014-06-15
  • ISBN : 0826354734
  • Pages : 466 pages

Download or read book Four Square Leagues written by Malcolm Ebright and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2014-06-15 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This long-awaited book is the most detailed and up-to-date account of the complex history of Pueblo Indian land in New Mexico, beginning in the late seventeenth century and continuing to the present day. The authors have scoured documents and legal decisions to trace the rise of the mysterious Pueblo League between 1700 and 1821 as the basis of Pueblo land under Spanish rule. They have also provided a detailed analysis of Pueblo lands after 1821 to determine how the Pueblos and their non-Indian neighbors reacted to the change from Spanish to Mexican and then to U.S. sovereignty. Characterized by success stories of protection of Pueblo land as well as by centuries of encroachment by non-American Indians on Pueblo lands and resources, this is a uniquely New Mexican history that also reflects issues of indigenous land tenure that vex contested territories all over the world.

Book Pueblo Sovereignty

  • ISBN : 0806163429
  • Pages : 393 pages

Download or read book Pueblo Sovereignty written by Malcolm Ebright and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over five centuries of foreign rule—by Spain, Mexico, and the United States—Native American pueblos have confronted attacks on their sovereignty and encroachments on their land and water rights. How five New Mexico and Texas pueblos did this, in some cases multiple times, forms the history of cultural resilience and tenacity chronicled in Pueblo Sovereignty by two of New Mexico’s most distinguished legal historians, Malcolm Ebright and Rick Hendricks. Extending their award-winning work Four Square Leagues, Ebright and Hendricks focus here on four New Mexico Pueblo Indian communities—Pojoaque, Nambe, Tesuque, and Isleta—and one now in Texas, Ysleta del Sur. The authors trace the complex tangle of conflicting jurisdictions and laws these pueblos faced when defending their extremely limited land and water resources. The communities often met such challenges in court and, sometimes, as in the case of Tesuque Pueblo in 1922, took matters into their own hands. Ebright and Hendricks describe how—at times aided by appointed Spanish officials, private lawyers, priests, and Indian agents—each pueblo resisted various non-Indian, institutional, and legal pressures; and how each suffered defeat in the Court of Private Land Claims and the Pueblo Lands Board, only to assert its sovereignty again and again. Although some of these defenses led to stunning victories, all five pueblos experienced serious population declines. Some were even temporarily abandoned. That all have subsequently seen a return to their traditions and ceremonies, and ultimately have survived and thrived, is a testimony to their resilience. Their stories, documented here in extraordinary detail, are critical to a complete understanding of the history of the Pueblos and of the American Southwest.
