- Summary
- Zuni Katcinas; An Analytical Study contains color plates that respect the Zuni people, their traditions, their culture, and their delightful way of life. Of all the pueblo Indians, the Zuni are those that follow the old ways most closely. Perhaps this edition here will be of help. where the years have inadvertently brought forgetfulness of the traditional ceremonies to the older generations.
