New Mexico Art Tells its History

Pueblo People

The Pueblo people who call this land home have rich traditions made visible through their art and artifacts. The European settlers who built upon their communities gave their own interpretation to early Pueblo life. Some of the views were realistic, others romantic, and some had political motives, but it is through these images that we have developed a vision of life in our Enchanted Land before and after Conquest.
