ABSTRACT
This chapter is about culture change and cultural continuity using data from western Pueblo people who live in villages at the southern tip of Black Mesa, Arizona, and on the Mogollon Rim between New Mexico and Arizona. It has two underlying premises. The first is that Hopi and Zuni people have successfully resisted acculturation efforts by.the dominant society of the United States (Brew 1979, p. 522). The second is that Pueblo people are descendatlts of prehistoric Anasazi who built towns and settlements at Mesa Verde, Colorado, Chaco Canyon, New Mexico, on the Pajarito Plateau, New Mexico, and on Black Mesa, Arizona.
