Pair of Pueblo Culture Books – Serpent’s Tongue 1st Ed. & Paths of Ancestors
Pair of richly illustrated works exploring the heritage and traditions of the Pueblo peoples. The Serpent’s Tongue: Prose, Poetry, and Art of the New Mexico Pueblos (1st Edition, edited by Nancy Wood, Dutton, 1997) presents a vibrant anthology of Pueblo voices through prose, poetry, and art. The volume combines historic and contemporary works that celebrate five centuries of Pueblo culture and artistic expression.
Accompanying it is Dancing in the Paths of the Ancestors: Book Two of The Pueblo Children of the Earth Mother by Thomas E. Mails, an in-depth study of Pueblo ceremonial life, ritual dances, and artistic traditions. Mails’ well-regarded text offers ethnographic insight supported by extensive illustrations and photography. Together, these volumes form an engaging exploration of Southwestern Native life and creativity—ideal for collectors, educators, or cultural libraries.

Dancing in the Paths of the Ancestors (hardcover) has minor edge wear consistent with gentle use, with intact spine and clean text throughout.
