Abstract
This is one of those pamphlets I include in this collection only because I and others will be tempted to acquire it if I do not include it now. The book presents the aetiological stories behind six native dances: The Deer Dance; The Story of Montezuma; The Story of Mountain Bird, Juan Rey; The Basket Dance; The Yellow Corn Dance; and The Story of the Butterfly and it's [sic] Dance. There really are no fables here. Perhaps the most touching part of the book is the story of the teller of these tales, a woman whose father had come to Antonito, CO from Spain. She married an Indian youth, learned Indian tales, practiced traditional pottery-making, made hundreds of native dolls, and spent eleven years making a tapestry of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
