Lessons Learned in Zuni: A Pueblo Memoir

Richard Tripp taught high school English on a  Zuni reservation in New Mexico and has put together stories of his teaching experiences, tales of learning pueblo pottery and Navajo tapestry weaving, anecdotes of his time living in a remote sheep camp behind the sacred mesa, then living in the pueblo itself, and his observations of tribal ceremonies. He has written a book full of memories of personal transition and cultural change in the tribe where he lived.  The book contains photos taken by the author and others as well as some from the Smithsonian archives of scenes from the 19th century.
