Richard Frost examines the profound effects that the coming of
trains had on Pueblo Indians in New Mexico's Rio Grande Valley,
where their arrival was a social and cultural tsunami. It affected
community autonomy, privacy, and well-being and destroyed or
damaged crops, livestock, and irrigation ditches. The trains
brought lawyers, speculators, politicians, missionaries,
anthropologists, timber thieves, health seekers, and government
servants. While the trains also brought farm tools, clothing for
children, and customers for Pueblo pottery, these were
comparatively marginal benefits. The pueblos responded variously,
though mostly conservatively, to sustain their communities, and
this book spotlights two very different responses. Santo Domingo
Pueblo was defensive, while Laguna Pueblo chose accommodation.
Overlooked aspects of these pueblos' histories provide compelling
reasons behind their varying responses and the fateful
consequences.
