Abstract

Should the Pueblo Indians Be American Citizens?
Sergeant, Elizabeth Shepley | April 20, 1921 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on Pueblo Indians. When the Spaniards arrived in the sixteenth century, they found the Pueblo dressed in the same glowing colors, peacefully cultivating the same tribal fields with probably the same wise if rude methods of irrigation used today. Those of the artist race hold that the Pueblos should never be citizens, should rather be preserved like the national parks, government wards in perpetuum in their little islands of primitive culture: a source of absorbing interest to artists, archaeologists, and ethnologists. The "practical people," on the contrary, urges that the only ultimate and happy fate for the Pueblo is absorption and Americanization.
