This book tells the stories of over 30 political leaders, educators, and artists who took part in the events that have shaped Pueblo Indian life.

Trujillo. Part 3, "Consolidating Gains," relates the lives of three tribal chairmen--Joseph Filario Tafoya, Abel Paisano, and Domingo Montoya--and their contributions to Pueblo education and health. Part 4, "Sovereignty and Development," includes leaders in the struggles for sacred lands at Blue Lake and Tamaya and the following leaders and educational administrators: John C.
