Pueblo Girls: Growing Up In Two Worlds
In this beautifully illustrated book, we are invited to visit San Ildefonso Pueblo with Sonja, who is 10, and her 8-year-old sister Desiree. Sonja and Desiree know they are lucky. Growing up in San Ildefonso Pueblo, they enjoy what other American girls enjoy-from basketball and cheerleading to playing video games and sending e-mail. But they have much more: their Indian heritage. In the Roybal family, heritage is not just something grandparents remember with pride. It is a way of daily life that preserves a central place for traditional customs, prayers, and reverence for the natural world. Heritage is listening to stories in their native Tewa language, learning traditonal pottery-making from their mother and grandmother, and baking delicious bread in an outdoor oven. It is ceremonial days when everyone gathers to dance and celebrate as Pueblo Indians have done for thousands of years.
