Synopsis
Excerpt from El Palacio, Vol. 21: December 15, 1926
Jupiter Pluvius, Odin and Thor, the Lords of the Thunderbolt, are familiar enough in Old World mythology. In the New World the rank and importance of the rain-givers is not less significant, - nay, in certain sections, such as the ever drought-threatened Plains or the arid Southwest, these beings become dominant and at times all-absorbing, so that one of the most interesting chapters of the native mythology is that which deals with a comparative study of the Bowmen of the Sky, the Thunderers, the cloud-winged, who move between Heaven and Earth, the Father and the Mother of All.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book gathers important texts on the history and culture of the Pueblos, written by noted Southwestern archaeologist Edgar Hewett. Hewett, whose career intersected with many great thinkers and photographers of the early 20th century, including Charles Lummis, was instrumental in the preservation of Native art and artifacts, and in the founding of the School of American Research in Santa Fe. This collection of Hewett's writings offers the reader insight into the complexity and richness of Pueblo life, from its indigenous, pre-Hispanic origins and social structure through the Spanish colonial period, and up to the first few decades of the 1900s. Hewett's deep appreciation for the artistic achievements of Native peoples is evident in these texts, which collectively reveal how his endeavors fostered the understanding that Native creativity deserved appreciation on its own terms, and was vital to preserving Pueblo cultural heritage. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243075928_0
