Book Review

Pueblo Indian Agriculture. By James A. Vlasich. (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2005. xx, 363 pp. $34.95, ISBN 0-8263-3504-7.)

The Pueblos and agriculture are inextricably linked. Although the governments of Mexico and the United States have not always considered them Indians, they have always been skilled farmers. Pueblo religious and governmental traditions have been inseparable from their farming practices, at least they were until World War II. Although the Pueblos did not develop a hydraulic society on the scale of the Hohokam, they built sophisticated irrigation systems through village cooperation and control. With irrigation agriculture, the Pueblos created a stable and prosperous society. Pueblo culture has been so closely dependent on agriculture for existence that agriculture has shaped Pueblo identity and history, much as the buffalo defined Plains Indian cultures during the nineteenth century.
