Book Review

Under the Palace Portal: Native American Artists in Santa Fe. By Karl A. Hoerig. (Albuquerque: University of New Mexico Press, 2003. xvi + 261 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $29.95.)

Anyone who has had the pleasure of visiting Santa Fe, New Mexico, is likely to recall Native artists selling their work to tourists under the portal of the Governors Palace, the historical museum bordering the city's central plaza. Especially because the vendors tend to sit on the portal floor, many visitors might imagine the arrangement to be an informal one, the vendors somehow gathering spontaneously at a convenient location for selling to tourists. In fact, as this book makes clear, there is considerable organization involved in the "Portal Program," or the "Native American Vendors Program of the Palace of the Governors" as it is officially known. Although sponsored by the Museum of New Mexico, the vendors themselves keep the program running and decide on rules for participation. This book provides a descriptive account of the program, drawing on fieldwork and interviews with vendors and museum staff.
