Dances of the Tewa Pueblo Indians

expressions of new life

1st ed.

by

"This illustrated book explores the history and cultural meaning of the ceremonial dances of New Mexico's Tewa Pueblo Indian people. Tewas say they perform these rituals in order to "regain life" or to "find new life." Each performance is a communal prayer that renews the spiritual well-being of the group and the physical well-being of the environment." "This new edition features the voices of Tewa dancers and composers and images by contemporary Tewa artists that explain the significance of dance to Tewa identity and community. The author frames their words with her own poignant reflections on more than twenty years of study and friendship with these creative and enduring people."--BOOK JACKET.
