THE REVIVAL OF PUEBLO POTTERY MAKING.

The article focuses on the revival of Pueblo Pottery Making. Much after the fashion of their forefathers, some-ten thousand Indians at the present time inhabit twenty-six adobe-built little towns, from which they receive their names, in the semi-arid regions of New Mexico and Arizona. The close-knit community life and the strong child-like religion of these Pueblo Indians have been the means of preserving much of their original nature, but nearly four centuries of contact with the materialism of the white race has brought about many changes and in some instances caused a complete loss of some of the early Indian culture traits. One such instance, which has affected not only the aesthetic life of the people, but their economic conditions as well, has been the degeneration and in some cases a total loss, of the ceramic art and the importance of restoring this and other industrial arts to their former high levels has the past few years been brought home to those who are interested in the present and future welfare of the Pueblo Indians.
