  1. Pueblo to Pueblo: The Legacy of Southwest Indian Pottery

  2. Introduction Pueblo to Pueblo: The Legacy of Southwest Indian Pottery,is a collection of crafted pottery organized by the Kansas City Museum and Union Station Kansas City. The collection contains seventy pottery pieces as well as photographs and other artwork exhibiting the Indian culture in the Southwest from different Pueblo communities including the Tesuque, San Ildefonso, Santa Clara, Isleta, Cochiti, San Domingo, Acoma, Laguna, and the Zuni Pueblos. Pueblo pottery making is not only the practical craft of creating functional items such as bowls and water canteens but it is also an expressive art form that shows the styles and aesthetics of the Southwest Indian people. The people of the region lived in permanent settlements known as Pueblos and from these various Pueblos is a history of diverse and unique craftsmanship that has been practiced for over two thousand years. As the world entered the modern era the tradition of Pueblo pottery making was able to acclimate itself into the mainstream market and the Pueblos were thus able to continue to create pottery that was not only a testament to their long and rich heritage but was also now a highly profitable craft. The artifacts represented in this collection exhibit the traditional yet unique pottery styles of the many Southwest Pueblos. The following slides will highlight some of the individual Pueblos and the pottery styles and techniques that pertain to them. Not every Pueblo will be mentioned.
