The Story
A new edition of the bestselling title with a new design, new photography, and updated information. The Pueblo Indians of New Mexico have a long tradition of oral storytelling, and also of figurative pottery. These two traditions came together in the 1960s when a potter created a figure of a Pueblo man with five children on his lap, inspired by her grandfather who passed his culture to his children and grandchildren through storytelling. In this book, art dealer Mark Bahti covers the tradition of storytelling, the process of producing clay figures, and shares stories from many of the Pueblos. 46 color photographs
