Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC. Center for Folklife Programs and Cultural Studies.
This booklet was designed in conjunction with a Festival of American Folklife focusing on New Mexico, but can be used when teaching lessons on the culture of New Mexico. It introduces young children to activities adapting Santa Clara Pueblo pottery designs, adobe model making, Rio Grande blanket designs, tinwork picture frames, and ramilletes de papel. Brief explanations describe: "How Pueblo Pottery is Made"; "How the Bear Paw Design Began"; "Adobe: Architecture from the Earth"; "Hispanic-American Sheep Culture"; and "Cooking at Cochiti Pueblo," with a recipe for pumpkin candy given. The booklet is illustrated with maps, motifs, and diagrams. It concludes with a 9-item bibliography. (MM)
