"a classic but explanations of the spiritual make (for me) for weary reading. i lived and worked in san juan pueblo (ortiz's home village)for a few years so it took on a different meaning for me. ortiz was sort of ostracized for revealing too much of tewa culture in this book but was already to speak to "outsiders"(like me) about pueblo culture and meaning."
"My interest are the "objects" of reality if you will, the cultural treasures that are perceived or give order to a cosmology... its hard to define these "objects" in Western terms, since what I am searching for is very possibly outside of Western concepts... In the West these entities are generally thought to reside within the spheres of philosophical substance (substance that composes reality), consciousness, and their epistemic relationship. If looking for this type of thing... generally a good starting point is an origin story.... This book is of course about the Tewa origin story, rituals, and their tie to social organization and practice... Ortiz sets forth... a good piece within this books genera... it is prime!"
