Pueblos Quotes

“Por aquellos años su padre comprendía que un pueblo podía cambiar su "modo de vida", su historia, su tecnología, su cultura, su arte y su literatura, pero no le concedía la menor posibilidad de que cambiara sus gestos.”
― Orhan Pamuk, The Black Book

“A los pueblos no hay que forzarlos para que produzcan artísticamente en determinada dirección, sino aceptar lo que den espontáneamente y celebrarlo, siempre que tenga una individualidad marcada”

“The postmodern notion of "appropriation" is not a good fit. In New Mexico, the "indigenous" is a syncretic fusion of Native American and Hispano American. Just as Pueblo people who are Catholics embrace their traditional religions, Nuevo Mexicanos who wear Metallica T-shirts also attend mass and clean the ditches. The fact that both good and bad aspects of the larger pop culture are welcomed with open arms in New Mexican villages and pueblos does not belie the passion with which local ethnic culture is embraced.”
― Lucy R. Lippard, Nuevo México Profundo: Rituals of an Indo-Hispano Homeland

“During much of the nineteenth century, many American women did not have the right to own property. Our women always did. The tipi belonged to the wife, just as in the southwestern pueblos the house belonged to the woman. Among whites, even the upper-class lady could take no part in politics. American women did not get the right to vote until 1920. Compare this with the women of the Iroquois Longhouse, who elected the tribe’s chiefs.”
― Mary Brave Bird, Ohitika Woman
