In his new book, Joe S. Sando weaves a tapestry of individual lives against a backdrop of history -- telling the stories of political leaders, educators, and artists who took part in the events and movements that have shaped Pueblo Indian life from the time of the Pueblo Revolt to the present day. The author, who was born and raised at Jemez Pueblo, is a recognized authority and respected writer on Pueblo history. Sando's gripping history of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 includes both the early Spanish accounts and the orally transmitted information that has been carefully preserved in the Pueblos since the seventeenth century. His biographies of twentieth-century leaders document a history of continuing assaults on Native American dignity and sovereignty. More importantly, they highlight the creative responses that enable the Pueblos to preserve their identity within the dominant culture, while moving with the times.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
A historian (Pueblo Nations: Eight Centuries of Pueblo Indian History, Clear Light, 1992) and archivist at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in New Mexico, Sando has collected biographical information on 29 Pueblo Indian leaders of the 20th century, many of whom have been important political leaders. These Indians live in the Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico and have worked together politically for many years. In this book, short essays on the high points of Pueblo history, such as the Pueblo Revolt of 1620, are interspersed with the biographical sketches containing information on the subject's educational, personal, and political life. Useful for regional libraries and for libraries with large Native American history collections.?Gwen Gregory, New Mexico State Univ. Lib., Las Cruces
