Of all the aboriginal peoples that remain in North America, none is richer in folklore than the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico. They have nineteen "cities" in this territory, and seven in Arizona; and each has its little outlying colonies. It is from the wonderful folklore of the Teewahn that Mr. Lummis learned, after long study of the people, their language, customs and myths, and taken, unchanged and unembellished, this series of Indian fairy tales. He was extremely careful to preserve, in his translations, the exact Indian spirit. An absolutely literal translation would be almost unintelligible to English readers, but he took no liberties with the real meaning. Illustrated.
