LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Smithsonian Institution, Bureau of American Ethnology, Washington, D. C, March 1, 1966. Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith a manuscript entitled "Music of Acoma, Isleta, Cochiti, and Zuni Pueblos," by Frances Densmore, and to recommend that it be published as a bulletin of the Bureau of American Ethnology. Very respectfully yours, Dr. Leonard Carmichael, Secretary f Smithsonian Institution. M. W. Stirling, Director. AUG 2 9 1957 t/BRAP^l
FOKEWORD The songs of Pueblo Indians here presented were recorded in 1928, 1930, and 1940, additional translation and information being obtained in 1931 and 1939. The work is essentially musical and the descriptions of various customs are intended as a background for the songs. These descriptions are presented as nearly as possible in the words of the informants. It was necessary to record Pueblo songs at a low altitude, and grateful acknowledgment is made of the courtesy of Dr. M. W. Stirling, director of the Bureau of American Ethnology, Smithsonian Institution, who made possible the seciu-ing of records of Acoma songs by members of that tribe who were in Washington, D. C. Dr. Stirling placed at the writer's disposal the song recordings made for him in 1928, 16 of which are presented (cf. p. 4); also the Acoma portraits (pis. 1, frontispiece; and 2). Acknowledgment is also made of the assistance of Mrs. Phyllis Crandall Connor, director of the Stand Kock Indian Ceremonial at Wisconsin Dells, Wis., who permitted the recording of Isleta, Cochiti, and Zuni songs by members of those tribes who took part in the ceremonial. Continuing the former method of analysis, these Pueblo songs are compared in melodic form and rhythm with the songs of Indians living in the north woodland, on the Plains, the high plateau of Utah, the low desert of Arizona, the Northwest coast, and other regions which have previously been studied.^ No linguistic study was made, and the native words are generally presented as they were pronounced by the informants. When recording the songs in Wisconsin the writer had the helpful companionship of her sister Margaret Densmore. > See References (Densmore, 1910, 1913, 1918, 1922, 1923, 1926, 1929 a, 1929 b, 1932 a, 1932 b, 1932 c, 1936 a, 1938, 1939, 1943 a, 1943 b, 1956).
