Pueblos of the Rio Grande

Pueblos of the Rio Grande is an authoritative and colorful travel guide to the 19 venerable Pueblos of New Mexico. Written in consultation with Pueblo community elders, this book celebrates the cultural diversity and enduring values of Acoma, Cochiti, Isleta, Jemez, Laguna, Nambe, Picuris, Pojoaque, Taos, Tesuque, San Felipe, San Ildefonso, San Juan, Sandia, Santa Ana, Santa Clara, Santa Domingo, Zia, and Zuni.

Cultural identity and artistry are vividly expressed by skilled Pueblo potters, silversmiths, fetish carvers, basket makers, and painters, whose finest works are highly sought-after by discerning art buyers worldwide. Daniel Gibson provides first-time visitors and experienced collectors of Native American art alike with a wealth of trip-planning information, including the arts and crafts traditions distinct to each pueblo, annual celebrations open to the public, proper etiquette and attire, and photography restrictions.
