Status Updates From Zuñi: Selected Writings

Gah. The subject and what he has to work with is amazing. If only he was as good a writer as he was a sketch artist!

I wish there were more literature from the Zuñi and other tribes' perspectives of early white settlers/explorers. As such, Cushing was more open to recording the native's points of view. For example, there are far more records of white criticism of Indian dress than vice versa, but Cushing tells it exactly the way the Zuñi governor tells it, and from now on I'll be referring to my boots as "squeaking foot packs."

Very interesting writing of a anthropologist that lived four years with them and was adopted by them.

More fun from Cushing's experience among the Zuni.
