Summary:

Describes eighteen pueblos, and outlines their dances, ceremonies, and way of life.
"These are the present-day homes of the "Children of the Ancients," the living descendants of the great city builders of the prehistoric Southwest. Their small villages, scattered along the river courses and across the mesa tops of New Mexico and Arizona, are bastions of North America's endemic Indian culture. Surrounded by foreign cultures for several centuries, these determined villagers have borrowed useful aspects of Anglo and Hispanic culture while rigidly maintaining their own traditions. Indian villages of the Southwest is a practical guide to these small Indian pueblos. Author Buddy Mays gives his readers a brief history of these remarkable people, outline the attractions and special restrictions of each village, list ideas the dates of feast days and other festivals, and suggests the best values in the village arts and crafts. Mr. Mays is also the author of Ancient Cities of the Southwest, a practical guide to the great prehistoric structures built by the ancestors of the villages." -- Publisher's description
