Excerpt from The Indians of the Terraced Houses
That very cruel and stupid thing is now being done and more, doubtless, is contemplated. If any steps to stop it are to be taken, they need to be taken quickly; for the native arts and customs of the Pueblos and their individuality as a people have suffered more in the last decade or two of Washington than during the whole three centuries of Spanish domination; and as a body going down hill goes the faster the nearer it gets to the bot tom, so the Pueblo deterioration hastens with each returning year.
I know no more direct way to enlist an interest in these unique citizens of the United States than to start at the beginning and tell what awakened ours.
